Political Fundraisers Blocked By GoFundMe

After last weeks attack on the US Capitol that left 5 dead, GoFundMe has taken a stance on the violence that occurred.
In a statement made earlier Tuesday, GoFundMe has confirmed they will no longer allow individuals to fundraise for political events that have the potential to be violent. The company states that after that fateful day, they’ve removed over 1,400 fundraising pages that were in support of the storming of the US Capitol.
GoFundMe is a platform popularly known for assisting with unexpected medical expenses, educational fundraisers, and allows strangers to come together to assist those during difficult times.
