Before you donate, it’s worth looking closely to make sure that the organization still needs support — and that it’s a legitimate organization in the first place

According to social-media posts from protesters, many of the gatherings began peacefully, until police escalated them by firing rubber bullets and tear gas. The Associated Press reports that over the past few days, at least 4,100 protesters have been arrested, and links to donate to bail funds to help release protesters have been circulating widely.
Watch out for scammers. As links to donate to bail funds have been widely circulated on social-media platforms, scammers posing as bail funds have popped up as well. For example, the Minnesota Freedom Fund put out a statement regarding a fraudulent Venmo account bearing its name. Before you donate to an organization, check its website or official social-media channels to see how it’s accepting donations. And if the organization is taking donations through platforms like Venmo and PayPal, make sure you’ve got the correct spelling of the organization’s username.
In addition to donating, check out our list for other ways you can support the fight to end racist policing, including providing protesters in your area with portable snacks and water bottles, or pressing your local officials on their plans for ending police brutality.
