This Mother’s Day, Lush and Ben & Jerry’s Helped Bail Black Mothers Out of Jail

National Bail Out (NBO), a black-led and black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists, has been building a community-based movement to support black communities and end systems of pretrial detention and, ultimately, mass incarceration.
