Letters:, ~ T j, e._, Pe_,;JR 1-- To the Editor : I am writing on behalf of the Washtenaw Community Bail Fund to express our ap preciation and support for the Black Law Students Alliance. At a r ecent bake sale held at the Law School, BLSA raised $100 which was donated to our Bail Fund. The Bail Fund i s a non- prof it, c ommunity based organi zation that posts bail for indigent defendants in the Washtenaw_ County Jail. We a l so provide follow-up services and support for de fendants who are released to our custody. Our primary goals are to demonstrate that persons incarcerated in the jail due to lack of f unds can be safe ~y released to the communit y, and that members of the community can begin to take an active role in working for change in the justice system. Since the Bail Fund functions due to the strength of its community volunteers, we feel that it is particularly important that groups such as BLSA are willing to assist in our work.
