The event and rally at City Hall called the "Mamas Day Bail Out" is part of a national movement pushing for bail reform.
Organizers want to see an end to cash bail and pre-trial detention for people who can't afford to pay.
The group says African-American women and their families are particularly affected by unaffordable bail.
