The names of those killed by racism and police brutality are written along Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. George Floyd was killed on this street in front of Cup Foods after being accused of using a counterfeit $20 bill. The site of his death has been converted into a large shrine.

Miss Major is still out here protesting police brutality at nearly 80 years old. If you’re LGBTQ+, remember that this woman right here is the reason we have our pride parades. Remember that she got her jaw broken by police at Stonewall. Don’t you dare discount Black Lives Matter just because of a few riots when a riot won you your freedom. Pride isn’t canceled this year, it’s just time we pay our debt and use it to support the Black Lives Matter movement. We need to be out there supporting our black siblings, who have always been on the front lines.

I’ve seen posts going around saying “Bail funds are full, stop donating” THIS IS NOT TRUE. These organizations still need help. While funds could be topped off, money is constantly being used during this time. Here is a complete list of bail fund organizations by state.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund in SPECIFIC is the fund that has been overwhelmed with funding, they secured over $20mil. They have asked repeatedly that people looking to support Minnesota residents redirect funds to Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block in particular. That may be where the miscommunication is coming from.
