A swing sits empty on a playground outside in Providence, R.I., March 7, 2020. Columbia University's Center on Poverty and Social Policy estimates that the number of children in poverty grew by 3.7 million from Dec. 2021 to Jan. 2022, a 41% increase, just one month without the expanded child tax credit payments.

Overview

  • Shiloh Hendrix, filmed using a racial slur against a 5-year-old Black child in Rochester, Minnesota, has raised over $700,000 on GiveSendGo.
  • The platform disabled comments on Hendrix’s fundraiser due to a flood of racist and Nazi-themed remarks from donors.
  • Far-right figures, including Matt Walsh and Nick Fuentes, have framed the donations as a stand against cancel culture and anti-white bias.
  • The Rochester Police Department has completed its investigation and submitted findings to the City Attorney for potential charges.
  • The NAACP’s Rochester branch raised $340,000 for the child’s family, with the campaign now closed at the family’s request.
