New York Times journalists, as a policy, aren’t supposed to contribute to political campaigns, attend rallies, or put partisan bumper stickers on their cars. So it was nice to see them pull out their wallets today and chip-in to a Twitter fund drive in solidarity with protests for George Floyd.
Started yesterday, thousands have joined the trend to match each others’ donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that puts up cash bail. Ultimately, the MFF seeks to end cash bail and its use as a mechanism for pretrial incarceration. Not too late! Or donate to Reclaim the Block and the Black Visions Collective.
Wow. So much support from all over the country + the world! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who has provided support at this time. Please also consider donating to Reclaim the Block (https://t.co/RfymLGhVc2) + Black Visions Collective (https://t.co/7L4oV1LKtz)
