The Ad Council and The Bail Project have joined forces to launch a new campaign of public service announcements (PSAs) aimed at raising awareness about the injustice of cash bail. Featuring NBA legend, entrepreneur and philanthropist legend Carmelo Anthony; renowned professor, author and media personality Michael Eric Dyson; and actress, model, and activist Leyna Bloom, the PSAs were produced in collaboration with Scheme Engine and Director Charles Todd, and are part of a nationwide effort to highlight how the cash bail system creates a two-tiered justice system – one for those with money and another for everyone else.
