In response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery (amongst COUNTLESS others over the years), protests erupted all over the world and brought out record breaking numbers in our city (over 10,000 on 6/6/2020. I had a chance to cover two of them so far (in downtown), and am now collecting funds to donate to Jax Community Action Committee (JCAC) and activist, April Nubian. There are MANY others on the forefronts that you can also donate to, locally and nationally. These are the ones I’ve had direct relation with and have seen the work they’ve been putting in and deserves to be funded.

Two of my pictures from the protest are now being sold >> here << and are shown below. 100% of all proceeds will be split evenly between the two entities mentioned above. If you’d like to donate to them directly, Cashapp JCAC at $LMSAMPSON (enter For JCAC in title), or April at $freemysisters2020.
