Free Them All VA Fund End of Year Report
Earlier this year, we hosted a car caravan in Fairfax to call attention to the inhumanity of detention and incarceration at all times, and especially during a global pandemic. During the caravan, our comrades were targeted and harassed by Fairfax county police. The Free Them All VA fund formed in response to this as a fund focused on legal representation for our comrades facing police retaliation from the caravan and community members regularly targeted by the court system. Since then, it has expanded to help support folks detained in Virginia detention centers and also provide immediate support upon their release.
Expense Report
In the past six months, the fund has covered court fees for 13 people, commissary contributions for 20 people, and quarantine housing and/or post release support for 8 people. Our expense report is detailed below. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar.
If you would like to request support from the FTA VA fund please email freethemallva@protonmail.com. For commissary support please try to provide us with the detained person’s numerical ID in the commissary system since oftentimes detention centers misspell people’s names.

Free Them All VA is an abolitionist coalition centered around amplifying the organizing of those incarcerated in Virginia detention centers, jails, and prisons. Our demand to free them all has no asterisk. All means all.
