The Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) is a Minneapolis-based bail fund and nonprofit organization that serves incarcerated individuals within the state of Minnesota as well as those under detention by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 1 Its demands include abolishing cash bail within the state of Minnesota, ending detention based on immigration or ethnic status, and “wide scale decarceration.” 2 The group has also advocated for defunding the police and the “divestment of Israel.” 3

The fund has received support from President Joe Biden’s campaign staff and Vice President Kamala Harris, who advocated for the fund in a Twitter post in 2020. 4 5 The fund also collaborates with several left-of-center legal organizations including the Legal Rights Center and the National Lawyers Guild. 6

History

The Minnesota Freedom Fund was founded in 2016 by Simon Cecil, a University of Minnesota student who was studying public policy and business management at the time. Between 2017 and 2018, the fund focused on posting smaller bonds for Minnesota-area defendants, some as low as $78. It managed to pay about 113 bonds in 2018, totaling over $9,000. 7

Following the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, the fund placed a new focus on paying bail for those arrested during the protests occurring in response to Floyd’s death. Between Floyd’s death at the end of May and mid-June, the Fund raised over $30 million in donations. However, the group announced that it had used only $200,000 of the sum towards paying bail for arrested protestors since the start of the George Floyd demonstrations. This has drawn backlash from critics over the organization’s lack of transparency and raised questions about how the rest of the funds are being utilized. 8  Criticism was apparent in Twitter responses such as: “Post receipts or I want my money back.” Due to privacy and confidentiality considerations, donors do not receive disclosures on how their donations are used. 9

In response to tensions, MFF posted on Twitter: “We are paying, and have paid, all protest bail that’s come our way.” 10 The director of the Community Justice Exchange, which founded the National Bail Fund Network, Pilar Weiss, noted that “Hopefully people understand that just because Minnesota Freedom Fund received $31 million in donations, doesn’t mean that there has been $31 million in [protest] bail set to date.” 11

In 2021, environmentalists protested the renovation of the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota citing environmental reasons and claiming the pipeline “infringes on Native American land.” 12 Pipeline Legal Action stated that “The Minnesota Freedom Fund has committed to supporting the movement for all bail needs.” 13

In 2023, MFF started Minnesota Freedom Fund Action, a political arm focused on ending the Minnesota cash bail system. 14

MFF’s website notes that the group has paid bail for 2,537 people in pre-trial detention and helped release 463 people from immigration detention. The group paid out $21.2 million in cash bail and $4.8 million in immigration bonds. 15

Activities

Several notable bail payments by the fund have been made in the wake of large-scale protests across the country following the death of George Floyd. For example, Jaleel Stallings, who was arrested for shooting at police with an AK-47 during May protests in Minneapolis, was bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund for $75,000. 16 According to interim executive director Greg Lewin, the fund has bailed out at least 12 protestors charged during the demonstrations. 17

In addition to posting bail payments for protestors, MFF has continued posting bail for those convicted of criminal charges. For example, MFF paid a $3,000 bail for Donovan Boone, who was arrested for allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home and assaulting her; he never showed up for his court date following release. 18 MFF also paid $1,500 to release George Howard, who, after release, was accused of second-degree murder. 19 In 2023, MFF made news when Jackie Rahm, who had been formerly bailed out by the group, was charged with arson in relation to two mosques being set on fire and was accused of vandalism of one of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) district offices. 20

One protester received enough money from MFF  to not only pay his bail but also lawyer fees, court and probation fees, and damage costs. 21 Other bail payments include $100,000 for a woman who was charged with second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing and killing her friend, as well as $350,000 for releasing a twice-convicted rapist charged with kidnapping and assault. 22 In 2023, CNN reported that after George Floyd’s death, MFF bailed out 65 defendants who were “awaiting trial on felony charges involving violence, physical threats or sex crimes.”  23 Each of these defendants were later convicted. 24

Regarding the charges of those that the fund bails out, former interim executive director Lewin comments “I often don’t even look at a charge when I bail someone out. I will see it after I pay the bill because it is not the point. The point is the system we are fighting.” 25 Former co-executive director Mirella Ceja-Orozco made a similar statement noting, “We were not going to judge whether the person had committed a crime or not because that’s what the courts are for.” 26

In a June 2024 Instagram post, MFF called the cash bail system “racist, wealth-based” and claimed that the end of this system will help to bring about “queer liberation.” 27 That same month, MFF called President Joe Biden’s executive order to close the border when there is a high influx of immigrants, an order that “illegally restricts people’s legal right to seek asylum.” 28 29 Another MFF Instagram post from May of that same year called for a reallocation of police resources as the “deployment of riot gear, militarized weapons, tear gas, and mace… is now indiscriminately used against the public.” 30

MFF has also made clear on the group’s social media that the group supports the “divestment of Israel” and defunding police. 31

Finances

In 2022, MFF raised a total revenue of $841,283 with $836,554 in contributions and grants. The group had total expenses of $4,873,192 and total assets of $27,944,191. In 2022, MFF posted pre-trial bails for 606 people and immigration bonds for 145. That same year, MFF donated $1,023,019 to Communities United Against Police Brutality. Other groups that received assistance included MFF Action, the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, Advocates for Human Rights, We Resolve, and We are All Criminals. 32

Funding

The Minnesota Freedom Fund’s bail fund has received support and donations from several entertainment-industry figures including Seth Rogan, Steve Carell, Janelle Monae, Patton Oswalt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Don Cheadle and Justin Timberlake. 33 34 In addition to these celebrities, publications such as Vogue encouraged support of the fund. 35

Around the end of May 2020, roughly 13 staffers from the presidential campaign for President Joe Biden announced online that they had donated to MFF. 36 Biden’s campaign website detailed the presidential candidate’s opposition to a cash bail system, calling it a “modern day debtors’ prison.”  37

On June 1, 2020, then-Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) promoted the bail fund via a message on X (formerly Twitter) asking followers to help donate: “If you are able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”  38 MFF has claimed that Harris had not donated funds to MFF or had any type of relationship outside of the tweet. 39 In 2022, Vice President Harris’ involvement once again resurfaced after former MFF bail-out recipient Shawn Michael Tillman committed murder on a rail platform, was convicted of first-degree murder, and was sentenced to life in prison. 40 41

In May 2020, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto’s (D-NV) digital director posted a Twitter message to support MFF: “I hope you’ll join me in supporting the Minnesota Freedom Fund to directly provide relief for those protesting for their rights to be treated as human beings.” 42 The director also posted a Tweet that showed he had personally donated $50. 43

MFF has also begun to encourage donations to other left-wing racial-advocacy nonprofits including Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block, with the latter in favor of defunding the Minneapolis police department to “strengthen community-led safety initiatives and reduce reliance on police departments.” 46 An accountability statement on its website reads, “We want to acknowledge and apologize for the harm that we caused to Native peoples and BIPOC communities in Minnesota by not doing our due diligence to be in the right relationship with those impacted by the harms of mass incarceration.” 47 Honsey had been listed as a Soros Justice Fellow by the Open Society Foundations in 2019. 48

The interim executive director of MFF is Chanda Smith Baker. 49 She is the founder and chief executive officer of Smith Baker, a coaching and consulting firm. She is co-founder in residence of Black Collective Foundation MN and an adjunct lecturer at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Baker is on the board of Allina Health and the Joyce Foundation. She was previously senior vice president at the Minneapolis Foundation and the President and CEO at Pillsbury United Communities. 50

Valentina McKenzie is the chair of MFF’s board. 51 McKenzie has made it clear that she not only wants to remove cash bail, but hopes to abolish prison itself.  52 In 2023, McKenzie was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor cannabis violation in addition to felony fifth-degree drug possession. 53 McKenzie had previous driving-while-intoxicated (DWI) convictions and misdemeanor prostitution convictions. 54

Moncies Franco is MFF’s board treasurer. 55 He is a senior community engaged research coordinator with the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute. He previously worked for Bridging MN as the group’s diversity, equity, inclusion team leader. 56

Willie Lloyd is MFF’s board’s vice chair and is the executive director of RARE (Restoration of American Rights and Equity) ACTION. 57 58

Malaika Eban, an at-large member of the board, is the executive director at the Legal Rights Center. 59 60

Bonnie Howerton is MFF’s board secretary. 61
