Good Trouble
Charlotte she/her
Someone has started a GoFundMe for ICE agent Jonathan Ross who murdered Ms Good. This violates GoFundMe terms of service as described in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/s/cr3aUMhFNE
They also included information on how to report it.

The GoFundMe has unfortunately already raised a lot of money.
