also donate to local free legal aid organizations, because as great as it is that these lawyers are providing free services rn, many legal aid orgs already provide free services every day to people who can’t afford to pay for legal help, and rely entirely on donations. bail is important but its only step one in what will be for many a very long and expensive legal process. there are often dozens or more in each state so i wont compile a list but you can easily find the ones in your area by googling. and dont forget about the legal aid orgs geared towards immigrants, because many protestors may face deportation or other retaliation that jeapordizes their ability to stay in the US.

You’re right! Here are two that I’ve found:

Legal Defense Initiative of Know Your Rights Camp: Created by Colin Kaepernick and focused on getting legal resources and lawyers to protesters in Minneapolis

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: legal aid fund dedicated to fighting for racial justice

Guys please add on more if you know any!!
