Published: May 2, 2019, 7 a.m.

One out of three people who are arrested in America can\u2019t pay their bail, leaving them to sit behind bars for months while they wait for a trial\u2014losing jobs, homes, and even custody of their kids in the process. Most of those people are black or brown. We talk with community organizer Veronica Rex about why the cash bail system is so broken, how community bail funds work, and how we can help bring home black mamas this Mother\u2019s Day.
