This past week cities across the nation have united with protests in Minneapolis for #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd. Today as Madison joins in solidarity with people fighting for Black lives across the nation, the police have begun making a series of arrests.

Local activists from Freedom Inc , Urban Triage , PSL and FreeThe350BailFund are asking for support in raising funds to bail out protesters. We will also be raising funds to cover their legal expenses.

People are being arrested right now – Saturday, May 30th, 2020. We need funds immediately and in the current days as we expect protests to continue.

Madison stands with Minneapolis and cities around the nation in demanding an end to police brutality against black bodies. We demand an end to police terrorism in black communities.

We stand with the demand of Minneapolis protesters to reinvest the $100 billion spent on policing nationwide in alternative emergency response programs.

Justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, and countless others.

Thank you for time and thank you for standing in solidarity.

29 May 2020, Addis Ababa: The Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat strongly condemns the murder of George Floyd that occurred in the United States of America at the hands of law enforcement officers, and wishes to extend his deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Recalling the historic Organisation of Africa Unity (OAU) Resolution on Racial Discrimination in the United States of America made by African Heads of State and Government, at the OAU’s First Assembly Meeting held in Cairo, Egypt from 17 to 24 July 1964, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission firmly reaffirms and reiterates the African Union’s rejection of the continuing discriminatory practices against Black citizens of the United States of America.

He further urges the authorities in the United States of America to intensify their efforts to ensure the total elimination of all forms of discrimination based on race or ethnic origin.
