#ParticipatoryDefense Spotlight: NIA from ATL

Our family Nia from the Atlanta Participatory Defense hub was facing 25 to life back in 2022. She was denied bond and not assigned a public defender. Nia ended up having to spend $10,000 on a lawyer who did not offer relief. She got connected with Metro Atlanta Participatory Defense (Barred Business) and Black Mamas Day Bail Out, a program bailing out black mothers on Mother's Day. Nia was bonded out on a $100K bail and continued fighting from the outside. She started attending meetings, stayed under their housing program and three years later, she is a core member who helps others going through similar situations. Nia is the official "discovery expert" of the ATL hub and we are honored to share her story here! #ProtectYourPeople #ParticipatoryDefense
