The way that GoFundMe’s platform works is that it collects a fee for each donation and a percentage for processing the payment, so it is literally profiting off the horrifying death of Colten Boushie.

Stanley’s fundraising page is not just offensive and insensitive, it could also be in violation of GoFundMe’s own Terms of Service that prohibit “items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime.”

I know this is a BLM post but it is very relevant pertaining to how Indigenous people are treated in Canada...reading the comments on the death of Colten Boushie is abhorrent. Some of the most hate filled posts I’ve seen...

FREE high resolution poster honoring the life of Colten Boushie (Red Pheasant Cree). On August 9th, 2016, Colten was murdered by Gerald Stanley, a white heterosexual cis male residing in colonized Saskatchewan, Canada. Nearly a year and a half later, on February 9th, 2018, the Battleford Court of Queen’s Bench found Gerald Stanley not guilty of second-degree murder. It is reported that prospective Indigenous jurors were rejected by the defence team during the trial of Gerald Stanley. There continues to be no justice in stolen and colonized Indigenous/First Nations lands. We ask that you stand for justice beyond the corrupt court systems that perpetuate racist jurisdiction and ensure Indigenous death and erasure. Please, support Colten Boushie’s family by donating to his gofundme: www.gofundme.com/justice4colten. As with all our posters, feel liberated to print out, wheatpaste, repost/regram, and disseminate at will! R.I.S.E.: Radical Indigenous Survivance & Empowerment
