A List of Celebrities Donating to Social Justice Causes Since Floyd Protests Began

[jimnyc]

I have zero issue with folks donating to great causes. Peaceful protesting is awesome. If someone is wrongfully arrested for simply protesting, I think these folks and others that chip in to help with costs are just as awesome. SO SO many ways to see these donations going to great causes to help black folks in need, help with any reform and much things needed.

And while I have in fact seen some folks arrested for no more than protesting, the majority and then some being arrested are for violent crimes, arson, looting, resisting arrest and many other harmful crimes to many neighborhoods. And I have seen MANY of these celebs speaking out as they donate, as gotta attention whore as you donate, right? And many are doing so in response to the deserved arrests, IMO.

They will use much of the money to bail out and help those very people. They're going to pay support for someone who burned a building down? Assaulted a cop? Broke windows? Stole thousands of dollars of items? Many ARE wishing for destruction and burning out there, and clearly and openly supporting any type of riots or revolts. It is all only harming the initial cause and justice for George Floyd.

The shakedown continues. All this does is send a message that rioting and looting pays off and pays off big.

And HERE is the problem with much of these millions going to this Minnesota Defense Fund.

Ever wonder what happens with ALL of the money? ALL being used solely to bail out and help people? Could it possibly be more than that?

CANNOT be true though, as antifa is nowhere around, right MSM? :rolleyes:

Minnesota Freedom Fund Faces Scrutiny for Antifa and Soros Ties, Demands Defunding of Police

s major cities begin picking up the pieces after days of destruction, the rioters and looters can rest easy knowing that they have a get-out-of-jail-free card waiting for them. Bail-out charities are suddenly flush with cash, especially the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), which has received an unprecedented level of donations from Hollywood stars including Justin Timberlake, Steve Carell, and Seth Rogen.

The revolution will be celebrified, thanks to aggressive Hollywood crowdsourcing.

The MFF’s stated objective is simple — it raises donations that it uses to bail out suspected criminals from jail and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention. The once-obscure group used to pull in a mere $110,000 a year in donations, according to public tax records. But since the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody, it has raked in more than $20 million in less than a week.

MFF’s sudden windfall raises questions about how the organization, which is led by a George Soros acolyte who is also a convicted drug offender, is actually spending its money. Are funds being used to bail out violent Antifa members? Will some of that cash find its way into the coffers of Democrat politicians or special interests?

The group’s aggressive demands to defund the police are also garnering attention. MFF is encouraging donations to Reclaim the Block, which has called for government divestment from the Minneapolis police. Reclaim is receiving financial support from the “Squad” — Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

MFF has been suspected of harboring Antifa sympathies through its close collaboration with the National Lawyers Guild, a radical leftist organization that has been called Antifa’s “unofficial legal arm.” President Donald Trump’s decision to classify Antifa as a domestic terror group could bring federal scrutiny to how MFF is using its money.

In the days since #BlackLivesMatter protests have swept the country, the MFF has become more brazen in its political rhetoric, including demands that Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz (D) defund the police. It has also attracted support from prominent Democrat politicians — including several Joe Biden staffers.

MFF, which didn’t respond to a request for comment, is legally restricted from giving money to political campaigns due to its 501(c)(3) non-profit status.

Sen. Kamala Harris is encouraging people to donate money to MFF. At least 13 Joe Biden campaign staffers have also given money, which prompted a rebuke from President Trump. Biden has said he doesn’t support defunding the police.

https://i.imgur.com/G1klwdE.png

In his tweet, President Trump implied that MFF is working “to get anarchists out of jail, and probably more.”

While MFF hasn’t publicly supported Antifa, it coordinates its bail work with the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), which does support Antifa.

The NLG recently defended the violent far-left group against President Trump’s decision to label it as a domestic terrorist.

“Trump’s declaration that Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization has no basis in fact or law and is merely an attempt to criminalize ordinary people who are exercising their right to protest,” NLG said in a statement.

MFF partners with the NLG to set bail for suspected criminals. People who have been arrested and jailed during recent #BlackLivesMatter protests are being told to call the NLG, which will then contact the MFF to provide bail money.

Greg Lewin, board president of MFF, recently sent out a notice saying that the NLG knows to contact the MFF regarding bail.

New York City Antifa has also advised its members to “familiarize yourself with the numbers for the National Lawyers Guild.”

https://i.imgur.com/Wh80pvU.png

Both organizations have strong ties to anti-Trump billionaire George Soros.

MFF Executive Director Tonja Honsey was named a Soros Justice Fellow by the Open Society Foundations in 2019. Honsey is a convicted drug offender who was arrested during a meth lab bust in 2002. She has also served time for theft and check forgery. Since being freed, she has worked as a criminal justice reformer and has served on Minnesota’s Sentencing Guidelines Commission.

The radical NLG has received funding from Soros’s Open Society and has partnered with Soros-backed organizations. The NLG has a history of hostility toward journalists looking into its ties to Antifa. Last week, its Portland, Oregon, chapter told investigative reporter Andy Ngo to “fuck off” when he said that the NLG operates as Antifa’s “legal arm.”

https://i.imgur.com/itmRFgF.png

The NLG also didn’t reply to a request for comment.

MFF doesn’t publicly disclose the names of the people it bails out of jail. The group tweeted that it spent $69,836 freeing 266 individual from county jail last year. It spends about $5,000 a month for ICE bonds.

https://i.imgur.com/v6oYaHi.png

Those figures are expected to grow exponentially now that the fund is rolling in money. Hollywood celebrities have turned the group into a Twitter cause célèbre as stars including Janelle Monae, Patton Oswalt, and Don Cheadle have all pledged to chip in.

Chrissy Teigen and her husband, the pop star John Legend, promised to donate $100,000 to various bail funds and then doubled their donation to $200,000.

MFF’s bank account is so full that it has temporarily suspended further donations, asking people to donate to other charities, including Reclaim the Block, which supports the defunding of police

Founded in 2016, MFF has operated for most of its existence with a small crew of mostly young activists. Founder Simon Cecil was a student at the University of Minnesota when he received $10,000 in grants from the school to start the bail charity.

Bail funds have become a political rallying cry for the left in the short time since George Floyd’s death. ActBlue is hosting a fundraiser from the group Progressives Everywhere to assist a group of bail funds, including the MFF.

Progressives Everywhere said donations will be split evenly between 13 bail funds in order to assist “low-income people, protestors and bystanders who have been unfairly arrested and must post high cash bails.”

Well, one obvious way to address this is- judges order no bail allowed. Not that any would have the cujones to actually do that.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Most dems and all liberals are cowards.
They are just getting in their PRE- protection/ransom payments.
Buying protection in advance..
Just like any good little coward would do, imho. -Tyr

[claudius2019]

Can't say I ever cared for any of these people, not a basketball or rap fan, and never liked "Friends".

Michael Jordan, $100 million? What an SOB! After what this country has done for him! Sooo oppressive in the US ohhhhhh! How much would he have earned as a Cuban or Venezuelan basketball star. Just 'fer dunkin' baskets, WTF? Damned spoiled sports stars, it was never a good idea to pay them so much, but fortunately most of them don't turn outright traitor, like Jordan.

[KarlMarx]

Personally, I’d like to have the whole lot of them (Hollywood, Antifa, BLM, most college professors, Pelosi, Schumer, the Minneapolis City Council, and a cast of thousands) sent to North Korea on a permanent vacation

What the hey, I’ll buy the first plane ticket
