Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $500,000 over two years to Southsiders Organized for Unity and Liberation (SOUL) to support work on prosecutor accountability and on the implementation of the Pretrial Fairness Act, which ends money bail in Illinois. The Illinois legislature passed the Pretrial Fairness Act earlier this year, following work by SOUL and other members of the Coalition to End Money Bond to raise awareness of the issue of money bail.
