A Chicago Muslim group inspired by veteran Black Power activists solicits money to empty jails based on religious obligation.

Believers Bail Out claims to have freed 300 Muslims from immigration or pretrial detention with $2.4 million since its 2018 founding, according to its website. The organization has enjoyed financial support from several Muslim and left-wing groups focused on criminal justice reform or resisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Washington Examiner found. Believers Bail Out also coordinates with a network of bail funds that gained steam during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.
