$5,000 a month and all you can loot seems like a pretty good deal.

But as usual the White Man is to blame:

While trying to find the start of this story I cam across some disturbing things.

Namely, Soros wasn't behind it and the "checks" weren't a payment for protesting.

***APPLICATION HERE***

Purpose:

Organization for Black Struggle (OBS) and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) are pleased to offer travel funding for individuals and grassroots groups that are working to advocate for police accountability and Black lives. A fixed sum of $20,000 has been set aside for this initiative. Applications are fulfilled on a 1st come, 1st served basis until the fixed sum is exhausted. In your application, please honor the guiding principle that your funded work/travel be collaborative and shared out to as many people as possible.

Travel funding is available for Individuals ($300), Groups of 3+ ppl ($1000), and Large Collaborations of 6+ ($2000) to take trips that directly help attendees advocate for police accountability and Black lives. Applications must be submitted 2 wks before your departure date.
Transparency:


In order to be fully transparent in this process, OBS and MORE will list the names and travel objectives of all the funding recipients. We also commit to facilitating as many projects as possible, as democratically as possible, elevating work that will produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Accountability:


1. Upon returning from the trip, the funding recipient(s) will share experiences in one of two ways:
--Complete a written report explaining the event/trip, experiences, and gains which will be posted online and share with the broader community.
--Schedule a public report back session to feedback on the trip and answer questions.
Failure to provide a report back will result in no longer being eligible for future funding opportunities.

We recognize that there may be interest in using this fund to support actions and events here at home. Feel free to use this form to apply to organize actions and events in the St. Louis region. Ideally, your requests will allow us to establish shared resources that are not just financial: art supplies, equipment, tents etc that could be shared by a variety of groups. To this goal, we ask that you make your requests with an eye towards what can be used as collective resources.

Not exactly "shipping protesters in".



I realize not everyone can sit back and follow links to the original story...or beyond. Just thought I'd help y'all out.
