Legal & Medical Fees For Fort Wayne Protestors
Donation protected
This Friday and Saturday police officers of the FWPD tear gassed, pepper sprayed, and shot rubber bullets at protestors speaking out for #BlackLivesMatter in honor of George Floyd. This has caused many of our protestors to have to seek medical treatment, while many others have been arrested as peaceful protestors. I started this fund as a private citizen of Fort Wayne, but I know that it will best be distributed through a reputable activism group, so I connected with United Activists of Fort Wayne and all the proceeds for legal help will be distributed to their fund and distributed to protestors from there. Please visit their Facebook page, message them if you need legal assistance, and check out ways you can donate directly to them as well. Heartland Community will be holding the money in a fund specifically purposed for legal assistance to protestors. If you need medical bill assistance, please contact [email redacted]. Just to be clear all funds will be distributed by United Activists to peaceful protestors, but if you have a medical bill that you cannot pay or have trouble with please contact me and I will do my best to see that you get taken care of. Thank you so much for the support thus far and I’m looking forward to being able to serve our community in a positive way. ❤️
In order to be fully transparent on how the money will be handled Heartland Communities will be withdrawing the money directly into the fund they have set up for United Activists of Fort Wayne to distribute. Thank you so much for the support!
