Chris Redd has launched a COVID-19 protest relief fund to help cover medical costs for people involved in protests against the May 25 killing of George Floyd.
The fund was initiated by the Saturday Night Live castmember onGoFundMe on Tuesday, and seeks a goal of $250,000 to assist with COVID-19 testing, hospital bills and treatment, injuries sustained while protesting and bail relief and court expenses for protesters. "As thousands of people take to the streets to protest racial discrimination and the many Black Lives lost at the hands of injustice, we also have the unfortunate fact that this deadly pandemic is still upon us," the page reads.
