ProDane Garden Party 2026: Bail Fund Support

Sunday August 22, 2026, 3:00pm to 4:30pm, at Linden Cohousing, 107 Sutherland Court

Support Progressive Dane by sponsoring our annual Garden Party fundraiser! This year ProDane is fundraising to support local bail funds.

ProDane Platforms all support restorative and transformative justice programs, and ending the criminalization of poverty and homelessness, meeting goals of reducing or eliminating racial disparities in the criminal justice system and reducing the number of persons incarcerated. There is a lot of work ahead to meet these goals. Providing bail to those unable to afford it is one step in mitigating collateral consequences of our current criminal justice system.

This year 100% of Garden Party donations will go to organizations whose mission is bailing out those incarcerated, especially black and people of color, in the Dane County jail system, such as Free the 350 Bail Fund. Donations spent on bail is a donation that keeps on giving, coming back to the organization to bail out others.
