The Bail Project or how to look woke and go broke.

Strength through joy

  • A nonprofit that pays bail for arrested individuals has shut down its Las Vegas chapter after freeing a man who went on to nearly kill a waiter
  • The Bail Project paid a $3,000 bail for Rawshawn Gaston-Anderson, 24 in December 2021 after he was arrested for burglary and theft
  • Six days later, the man opened fire on an Asian waiter named Chengyan Wang shooting at him 11 times, hitting him 7 and almost killing him.
  • Gaston-Anderson pleaded guilty and will serve seven to 18 years in prison
  • The Bail Project is backed by Richard Branson, Danny Glover, and John Legend
In the lawsuit, Wang's attorneys say The Bail Project used 'no due diligence in determining whether Rashawn Gaston-Anderson would be a danger to the community and likely re-offend.'
