6) Support two official GoFundMe pages made by George's family to help with an attorney, George Floyd's funeral costs, educational funds for his children, and living expenses for his family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd and https://www.gofundme.com/f/george-floyd-bigfloyd

7) Keep an eye on https://www.justiceforbigfloyd.com/ for how best to reach out to state and local officials about case handling. They have phone numbers and petitions for you to sign, and they even have a MAKE CALLS button that will autodial important numbers and give you a script for what to say!

8) For those outside of MN, PLEASE find and support a transformative justice organization in your own area as well!!!! Police brutality is an issue everywhere in our country, and supporting your local Black-led organizations today may be preventative.
