The new fundraising page for the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" protesting
vaccine mandates raised more than $2 million on its first day.
About $2.4 million was raised by Sunday morning at 9 a.m., one day after
the fundraising initiative began on the platform GiveSendGo, the
Washington Examiner reported.
The total money raised as of Monday afternoon is more than $4.7 million,
with a total goal of $16 million.
GOFUNDME BACKTRACKS ON REDISTRIBUTING MONEY FOR CANADIAN TRUCKERS, UNDER
THREAT OF FRAUD INVESTIGATION
The effort to fundraise for the Canadian truckers protesting the federal
government’s vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers first started on
the platform GoFundMe in mid-January.
On Friday, GoFundMe ended the fundraiser, citing "evidence from law
enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an
occupation."

Convoy organizers soon announced fundraising would be held on the site
GiveSendGo instead.
TED CRUZ DEMANDS FTC LAUNCH INVESTIGATION INTO GOFUNDME FOR SEIZING
TRUCKER CONVOY FUNDS
"We’ve decided to team up with an organization called GiveSendGo, which is
going to enable us to get donations into the hands of truckers much much
quicker," Freedom Convoy 2022 organizer Tamara Lich said in a video posted
to Rumble.
After GoFundMe halted the fundraising effort, the platform initially
announced that the roughly remaining $9 million raised would be given to
organizations approved by Freedom Convoy organizers and verified by the
site, instead of refunding the donations.
Outrage mounted following the announcement, with Gov. Ron DeSantis saying
Florida’s attorney general will investigate GoFundMe and Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz saying Sunday he sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking
for an investigation into the for-profit crowdfunding platform.

GoFundMe later backtracked and said all the money would be refunded to
donors.
