On January 13th, 2026, a man was taken into custody at an anti-Trump protest in Detroit. I am that man.

I am asking for donations to cover the legal fees to fight the citations I received on that day. Only donate what you can afford, this is not about the money. My goal is to represent the number of people in my/our community that are willing to fight for our rights as Americans.

Any excess funds will be donated to the Michigan Humane Society or an organization TBD supporting those unjustly treated by this evil "justice" system
