It’s been four years since Colin Kaepernick first took a knee during the national anthem in protest against police brutality and the unjust treatment of black people in America.
Four years later and he’s still doing his part in fighting against those very same injustices and protecting those who will join him.
Protests erupted in Minneapolis after George Floyd, an unarmed black man, was killed by a police officer who pinned his knee into Floyd’s neck for over eight minutes.
Some protestors participating have been arrested by the police officers as tensions have continued to escalate in the city. That’s where Kaepernick is stepping in.
On Friday, Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp organization announced a partnership with defense lawyers in the Minneapolis area to establish a legal fund to pay legal fees of any protestors arrested in Minneapolis.
Anyone who has been arrested or knows someone who has been arrested because of the protests are only required to fill out the form on the website for help.
