Dock Street will match 100% of tips*
Leave a tip at Dock Street South on Thursday, June 4th or Dock Street West on Friday, June 5th to participate!
Donations will be equally divided and donated to:
Youth Art + Self-Empowerment
The Youth Art & Self-Empowerment Project (YASP) is building a youth-led movement to end the practice of trying and incarcerating young people as adults. Through its work in the Philadelphia jails, YASP provides space for incarcerated young people to express themselves creatively and to develop as leaders both within and beyond the prison walls. Young people who have been through the adult court system are at the forefront of YASP, leading the movement to keep young people out of adult prisons and to create new possibilities for youth around the city.
Philadelphia Community Bail Fund
The mission of the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund is to end cash bail in our city. Until that day, we post bail for our neighbors who cannot afford to pay.
