Georgia Senate Approves Restrictions on Bail Funds for Protesters

The new legislation limits charitable bail organizations to three bail postings per year, amid ongoing protests against 'Cop City.'

Georgia's Republican-controlled Senate passes a bill severely limiting charitable bail funds, affecting groups supporting protesters.
The bill adds 30 additional crimes to the list of bail-restricted offenses, including unlawful assembly and possession of marijuana.
Charitable organizations are now restricted to posting bail for just three people per year, impacting groups like the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.
The legislation is in response to protests against the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, dubbed 'Cop City' by critics.
Critics argue the bill will hinder progressive reforms and limit support for incarcerated individuals and their families.
