VERONA, Va., Aug. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Friends and relatives are encouraged to share the bail assistance number with any one joining the anti-racism demonstrations against neo-Nazis, neo-Confederates and racists that seek to divide America rather than unite our Nation.

"Our commitment is to ensure that good people standing against hate have the right to be heard, not be jailed. Above all these demonstrators should not languish in a jail cell because they cannot afford bail. We believe in free speech and understand the importance of fighting white supremacist ideology in our systems of government, in our communities, and across our great nation," said Mike Donovan, Civil Rights Activist and President and CEO of Nexus Services.

The bail-assistance toll-free hotline is 1-800-658-6743, and the local Boston number is 857-770-1944 - collect calls will be accepted. Bail will be provided at no cost to the protestor. This is particularly important in light of Massachusetts' broken "cash to the court" bail system, which can lead to long term pretrial incarceration. 

Nexus Services, Inc. will not secure bond for anyone wearing masks in public demonstrations that appear to be in violation the "Ku Klux Klan Act" of 1871.
