I can’t find a bail fund for the people arrested in Austin, does anyone know of any?

https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory#texas

the link above only has one austin-specific one, this one, and from their website it looks like they mainly focus on bailing out people from detention centers so I’m not entirely sure donations will specifically go to bailing out austinites arrested in protests.

Here’s the most legit austin one I could find: https://reparation.atlas.thrinacia.com/campaign/24/400-1-bail-fund 

Here’s a lawyer taking cases for people arrested in austin pro bono:

 [ID: facebook post by Tycha Kimbrough. the caption reads “If you or a loved one are arrested for protesting in the Travis county area this weekend, give me a call at 833-553-4251. My firm, Kimbrough Legal, PLLC, is providing pro bono (free) legal representation!” Then the hashtags “i can’t breathe” and “we want justice”. below the post is a graphic with a picture of Tycha. beside it is text that reads “Arrested for protesting? Call Tycha Kimbrough. Kimbrough Legal, PLLC is offering pro bono services for protesters are being arrested and sitting in overcrowded jails without masks. We are NOT standing for that! Our phones are answered 24/7. Call 833-553-4251. We’ll be on standby all weekend. Some restrictions may apply” /end ID]

There’s also this one that doesn’t appear to be affiliated with an organization and was created 5/30/2020. But it does provide an email for you to contact them if you need funds:

Also, for context, people in Austin are not only protesting in solidarity but also protesting the death of Mike Ramos, who was sitting in his car, unarmed, when he was shot and killed by police.
