The crowdfunding website GiveSendGo issued a press release today [FULL HERE] outlining their intent to stand by the people who organized the Freedom Convoy in Canada.

Within their statement GiveSendGo says they have been in contact with the organizers, and the supporters of the Freedom Protest had raised $4.5 million in 24 hours.  This is the largest crowdfunding campaign they have ever supported:

(Press Release) –  BOSTON, Mass. – GiveSendGo stands for hope and freedom. We recognize the freedoms we have are God-given, not authorized by governments, but rather freedoms that ought to be protected by our governments.

GiveSendGo does not condone violence of any form! We believe there’s more power in the unity of a peaceful protest than in violent civil unrest.

As in any polarized situation, we recognize there will be a few individuals and groups that might intentionally try to incite violence, which will be used to stain this movement by opposing groups. We will not broad stroke those individual situations as a depiction of what this movement represents as if they were affiliated.

GiveSendGo has also been in contact with the campaign organizers and has received full assurance that all funds raised will go to provide humanitarian aid and legal support for the peaceful truckers and their families as they stand for freedom.

“In light of allowing this campaign we have seen an overwhelming outpouring of support from across the globe,” said GiveSendGo CoFounder Heather Wilson.  This has quickly become GiveSendGo’s largest campaign ever and has raised over 4.5 million USD in less than 24 hours. (read more)
