Ever since the May 25 death of 46-year-old George Floyd at the hands of police, protests have emerged throughout the world, and particularly the United States.
And while Floyd's tragic death as well as the March death of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor have served as catalysts for ongoing unrest in the nation, the protests we see today are broad, responding to longstanding realities of police brutality and systemic racism.
Unfortunately, what has unfolded in the months since these deaths has only given citizens more reason to hit the streets. And the most recent example concerns the shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake Jr. and the grim consequences thereof.
But, while this new incident has inspired several days of protest in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, it has also inspired a rapid influx of generous contributions to his hopeful recovery.
