A nationwide call for change has been sweeping across all 50 states of America. Spurred by a policeman’s blatant killing of George Floyd in broad daylight and in public view. The height of police brutality has reached its limit that citizens of all color, race, religion, social and political standing are one in calling for reforms to end all injustices against people of color.

Many well known personalities, musicians and Hollywood actors left the comfort of their plush home to join the Black Lives Matter protesters. They did so not for purposes of publicity as many tried to remain incognito, lest they draw unnecessary attention. Still, they shared their exoeriences to fans via Instagram.

Some others have donated money to foundations that have been intervening on behalf of protesters who were arrested. To date, an outpouring of financial donations are available to use as bail money and/ or go back to continue supporting the George Floyd/Black Lives Matter peaceful rallies.

Some of the accounts to which donations go to include the Peoples City Council Freedom Fund, the Minnesota Freedom Fund, and the Louisville Community Bail Fund, Mivement 4 Black Lives, The Bail Project and the National Lawyers Guild.
