Since the death of George Floyd, bailing protesters out of jail has become big business – and a bevy of organizations devoted to funneling money into exactly that function have popped up across the nation. But not all is well in the land of leftists. The Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) found itself in some hot water after happily tweeting about the $200,000 it spent bailing out protesters. That’s nearly a quarter million dollars, so what’s the problem? Well, they had also recently boasted about receiving more than $30 million in donations. So, what has the organization done with the rest of the money? Is it all just a big misunderstanding, or has there been some funny business with the donor dollars? Well, that’s the 2.8-million-dollar question.
MFF is the same fund organization that at least 13 Joe Biden campaign staff members admitted to making donations to. Andrew Bates, the campaign spokesperson, said Biden opposed cash bail, relating it to a “modern day debtors prison.”
Some funding organizations are having trouble keeping up with all the traffic and support. The Peoples City Council Freedom Fund in Los Angeles, CA was originally created in early May in reaction to proposed budget cuts to the LAPD. It has already received more than $2 million since the protests began. The Brooklyn Bail Fund and Free Them All for Public Health, both in New York, were so overwhelmed they had to send potential donors to other groups.
MFF’s tweet and the public’s reaction highlighted the need for accountability as to where all of the money is going. Black Visions Collective (BLVC) and Reclaim the Block released a statement calling for “accountability and transparency.” While the protests are beginning to slow down, these funding sources are still struggling to dole out the money and get their records straight. If there is anything positive to say about the tragic death of George Floyd, perhaps it is the millions of dollars being infused to help the black community.
