George Floyd: Official George Floyd Memorial Fund on Go Fund Me and other resources

[tanaqui]

George Floyd's brother has set up the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund on Go Fund Me. (This was linked in a news story on the website of the local CBS affiliate.)

This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.

Also, as protests spread, an increasing number of protesters are being arrested. The National Bail Fund Network uses donations to help free people from pre-trial detention.

The National Bail Fund Network is made up of over sixty community bail and bond funds across the country. We regularly update this listing of community bail funds that are freeing people by paying bail/bond and are also fighting to abolish the money bail system and pretrial detention.

They have a specific COVID-19 rapid response fund, as well as listing general bail funds that mostly work on a state level.
