Dear Mother,
It is with great gratitude that I'm writing to you this Mather's Day. A gift
was given in your name to help pay the bail of Black mothers in Riker's
Island so they may leave jail and rejoin their families where they belong.
Thousands of mothers across New York are languishing in jail because
they cannot pay bail, even though they have not been conwicted of the
crimes they are accused of. Every day that a mother remains in jail
ation of her life and the lives of her children. We
increases the destal
hope to one day abolish the money bail system that tears families apart.
You and your loved one have made this holiday a much happier one for
families in need. Thank you so much for your support and partnership.
We wish you a very Happy Mother's Day,
Sincerely yours,
Wanda Hernandez Parks
