Why should you help the small businesses of Ferguson?

Most insurance policies don't pay in cases of damage caused by civil disturbance.

Without coverage, many small business owners won't be able to rebuild.

This means the loss of many local jobs and significant tax revenue.

Empty, burned out businesses drive down property values.

Tax revenue from businesses and home owners supports the local school system and other community services, so a decline in revenue means services cut and less funding for education.

All US citizens deserve good schools and good jobs, but the government isn't coming to the rescue of the small business owners of Ferguson.

Ferguson is a suburb of St. Louis whose potential for change won't be met without support to rebuild what has been lost.

Please consider a donation through PayPal to help the community rebuild.

As part of the STLTogether community initiative, NewsChannel 5 and the St. Louis Regional Chamber have partnered together to help rebuild small businesses in our community. Please consider a donation. You can contribute to the STLTogether Fund now by clicking this link.

it is not okay when the police, the people we pay to protect us, are turning against people are favoring groups of people because of their race. we should be able to trust the police and we should feel safe around the presence of cops, and yet we feel scared. the united states justice system is literally down the toilet, and until this discrimination and racism ends, these protests and riots and situations will never end. it's not just ferguson. it's everywhere

I am very angry about the decision made this evening. I'm tired of seeing the injustice that this foul country was built on. And I'm tired of citizens passing it off as acceptable. It's time to take a stand against the people in power of this oppressive system

St Louis Students!

If you live in St Louis (especially in the city) I highly recommend that you do not go to school tomorrow. Yes I live in St Louis for those of you wondering. My school is literally 100 feet away from one of the places at the top of the "hit list" so I am definitely not going to school, but I really just want everyone to be safe. I have a lot of friends who protest literally every week. Even if you are only going to protest once or anything PLEASE DONT BE VIOLENT! Please be careful if you go out within the next weeks. It's not even the protests in worried about its how the police handle it. St Louis STAY STRONG AND STAY TOGETHER!
