The Crystal Cactus Deserts: A World Against Racial Injustice
5% of the profits from the sale of our Crystal Cowgirl Collection will go directly to the Bail Project. The Bail Project, Inc. is an unprecedented effort to combat mass incarceration at the front end of the system. They pay bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence. Because bail is returned at the end of a case, donations to The Bail Project™ National Revolving Bail Fund can be recycled and reused to pay bail two to three times per year, maximizing the impact of every dollar.
100% of online donations are used to bring people home.
