While some people shell out to take Mom to brunch on Mother's Day or ignore it as a "Hallmark holiday," a coalition of groups in Philadelphia is marking the occasion by raising money to bail women with children out of jail.
It's part of National Mama's Bail Out Day, a crowd-funding effort that started in Atlanta to call attention to how the cash bail system affects low-income people, especially women of color with children. The campaign has spread to other cities, including Philadelphia, Oakland, Los Angeles, Memphis, and Minneapolis.
