Resources listed include bail funds; legal aid funds; black and racial justice organizations (operating at a city, state, and national level); research and news organizations, and more.
Before donating, check to see if the organization is still accepting donations. Some organizations that were initially being publicized, such as the Minnesota Freedom Fund (a bail fund) and Black Visions and Reclaim the Block (black and racial justice community organizations), have been inundated with donations and are publicizing other organizations for people to donate to.

The National Bail Fund Network maintains a directory of community bail funds (bit.ly/localbailfunds).
<aside> đź—Ł Note that Minnesota Freedom Fund (which is posting bail for protestors in Minneapolis and elsewhere) has received over $20m in donations and has explicitly asked people to send donations elsewhere. Please consider donating to your local bail fund or to a city where you have strong personal ties.
