*REMINDERS WHEN SIGNING PETITIONS*
-Do NOT donate on change.org--all the money goes to the website, not the cause you are supporting. Donate to orgs directly!
-Do NOT sign petitions trying to raise the murder charge to murder in the first degree--it will be impossible to prove and George Floyd's killers will walk free.
