My name is Lawrence, I'm a black writer from Atlanta who blogs on PoC representation in nerdy hobbies, specifically LARPing and roleplay, but that's not what this campaign is for.
This campaign is raise money to help with medical expenses and bail for Atlanta protesters. That does not exclude other cities or areas, but it will focus on Atlanta and local Georgia cities. This campaign is a starting place, it is nothing fancy, just somewhere to get the ball rolling so that local residents that I know can contribute with someone they know and trust.
Expenditures from the funding will be voted on and discussed, prioritizing specific individuals over charities, and then donating to help non-profit organizations with similar goals. As a tertiary goal, we will use funding to support activist leaders and supporters who need financial support where we can, due to job or income loss from protest, at the discretion of campaign leaders.
There are surely dozens of other campaigns. I can't tell you we are unique or special or different. I'm just a guy who can't be quiet and has a small platform to raise some funding, and a willingness to work to make it happen.
Updates to the campaign will be made regarding structure, but the intent will stay the same.
