***DONATIONS AMOUNTS ARE IN USD***

George Floyd was known to his close friends as "Big Floyd". We want you to know about the man he was before he was killed by four officers. 

Big Floyd was known throughout his community as a peacemaker, a minister, and someone to take advice from. He was a father and brother. He loved his family and wanted to provide a better future for them.

George Floyd, known as Floyd, or Big Floyd, by friends and family, was in Minneapolis on business, far from his family and community, when four Minneapolis police officers murdered him in broad daylight. It was, in effect, a modern day lynching as those police officers served as judge, jury, and executioner on an unarmed, non-violent, handcuffed Black man.  

He was dragged from his car, pinned to the ground, and choked even as he begged for air by officers using unnecessary and deadly force.

Video of the incident clearly shows the officer, Derek Chauvin, employing a deadly chokehold as Floyd repeatedly states, “I can’t breathe.” He was non-violent, unarmed, and begging for mercy in broad daylight, yet both officers present at the scene continued to use illegal force until it was too late.

Though four Minneapolis officers involved in George’s murder have since been fired and Derek Chauvin has now been arrested and charged with Floyd’s murder, his family has yet to receive complete justice for the tragic loss they now face. The remaining officers responsible for this horrible killing must be tried and charged with the murder of George Floyd. 

We need your help: join us in calling on County Attorney Michael Freeman—who has the power to arrest and charge these police officers—to hold them accountable for the murder of George Floyd.
