The non-profit helps post bail for protesters who have been arrested during the Minneapolis riots.

“Whether from MN or outside our area, we believe the money bail system is inherently biased and we will urge officials to avoid using money bail as a tool. If they do hold people pending bail, then people incarcerated in Minnesota who meet our guidelines will be considered for relief regardless of state of origin,” Boland said.Protests in dozens of cities across the country are continuing for a fifth straight day.

George Floyd died after four police officers attempted to detain him for allegedly using a fake $20 bill. In a video that has since gone viral, one officer is seen pinning Floyd to the ground and continuing to kneel on his neck while Floyd yells that he can’t breathe. The officer who knelt on Floyd, Derek Chauvin, was arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter on Friday after riots broke out in the city the night before.

Steve Boland, a board member for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, told Forbes the organization has raised $20 million since Wednesday from at least 150,000 unique donors. Before Floyd’s death, the Minnesota Freedom Fund had only raised $75,000 to 80,000 this year, Boland said.
