Chrystul Kizer is a 19 year old Black woman who is charged with killing her sex trafficker at age 17. You can learn more about her story here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/local/child-sex-trafficking-murder/
She had a bail hearing today (June 8, 2020) where the judge refused to lower her bail from $400,000 to $15,000. She also contracted COVID-19 at some point in April or May, and needs to be able to go home and rest. Her next hearing is set for September 11.

This poor woman is being unfairly charged for defending herself against the man sexually abusing her, and needs the funds to pay her bail so she can finally go home, but $400,000 is a lot of money. That’s where all of you come in. Please if you can, donate to the her fund, which will help pay for her attorney and hopefully her bail: https://fundrazr.com/FreeChrystulKizer?ref=ab_7WMClgbl5uY7WMClgbl5uY
Another way you can help if you cannot donate yourself is to spread the word, especially to celebrities. They have enough money that even getting a few to make major donations could be enough to free Chrystul. I would like to suggest that we, the people of Tumblr, tweet at celebrities.
I believe that there are a lot of Tumblr users right now who want to make a difference but might not know how. If you can, please donate to the fund to free Chrystul, and then use your platform on twitter to continue to spread the word. You can make up your own tweet if you wish using the Frundrazr link above, or if you like you can follow this template, substituting the blank @ for the name of the celebrity you’re attempting to tweet:
