Reformist Reforms Vs. Abolitionist Steps
A guide that breaks down the difference between reformist reforms, which continue or expand the reach of policing, and abolitionist steps that work to chip away and reduce its overall impact.

MBF TESTIFIES AGAINST S.1851!
Re: Opposition to Resolve S. 1851
Dear Chairpersons Gregoire, Pacheco, and Committee Members,
The Massachusetts Bail Fund pays up to $500 bail so that low-income people can stay free while they work towards resolving their case, allowing individuals, families, and communities to stay productive, together, and stable. Pre-trial freedom leads to better case and life outcomes. The Massachusetts Bail Fund is committed to the harm reduction of freeing individuals serving pre-trial sentences, and to abolishing pre-trial detention and supervision in the long-term.
