Danielle Chanzes, a 26-year-old organizer with the Legal Empowerment and Advocacy Hub, reads aloud the name of every prisoner currently held within Alachua County Jail Monday. Protesters yelled and played on drums and other instruments after each name was called. Chanzes’ boyfriend was held in Alachua County Jail from October 2018 to May 2019 and she says this motivated her to stand up against the injustice she saw in the prison system. “People are innocent until proven guilty and cash bail takes away that presumption of innocence and so by posting bail for people today we are restoring that presumption of innocence. We are reuniting families.”
