RS: So I think it depends on the definition of community. So communities that have been targeted by our criminal legal system for generations, communities of color, low-income communities, marginalized communities, women across the country, they are more than happy to see us come, because we are just an immediate lifeline. Bail funds are a tool to get people out as an immediate lifeline, it's not a long-term, systemic answer, right? But people are, of course, they want to get out, go back to their families, their communities want them home. Has there been some opposition? Sure, of course. You know, when we go into a new site, we do so carefully, we prospect it carefully, we try to understand who are our partners on the ground that might help us in this initiative, grassroots organizers, not-for-profit organizations, systems holders, sheriffs, right? Who is going to support us and who our opposition might be.
