The Minnesota Freedom Fund, in particular, has raised around $20 million from thousands of donations after trending this week when Minneapolis demonstrations started to intensify. The MFF is now directing would-be donors to other local organizations.
Those who would like to support the demonstrations but are unable to physically show up—we remain in a pandemic, after all—should consider donating to any of these local funds. It perhaps is the most expedient way to stand in solidarity with the black community and protesters if you cannot literally do so.
