Petitions For George Floyd
Feel free to spread this around, I plan to expand this for other cases as unfortunately the police regime will not stop anytime soon.
Edit: 5/27/20 9:53 PM- If you are seeing this and do not live in the USA (I have heard this has gone farther than I expected it to) please send me feedback to the email gaelito04@gmail.com to make it easier/more accessible to those who live overseas/abroad. Thanks everyone. #BlackLivesMatter
Edit: 5/27/20 11:14 PM- The Minnesota Freedom Fund created a bail donation for the protesters who, unfortunately, will be jailed for taking to the streets and demanding justice.
