Derek Chauvin Legal Defense Fund

This legal defense fund is set up by Derek Chauvin’s mother to pay for legal representation for his appeal from his conviction. The Minnesota Supreme Court denied Derek’s right to have a public defender, and the Police Union does not pay for legal fees for convictions of officers per the terms of Derek's union contract, leaving Derek responsible for paying for his own legal fees, and no way to pay for a private attorney without relying on the generosity of others. If you believe that police officers have the right to challenge their convictions, especially if like Derek's mother, you believe that the conviction was unjust because (among other things) the denial of Derek's right to change the venue to a less prejudiced and hostile environment denied him the right to a fair trial, we would be very grateful if you would help donate to Derek’s legal defense.  All of the money raised by this campaign will be used to directly fund attorney's fees and legal costs of Derek's legal defense (except 1% paid to givesendgo.com).  Donations may be made anonymously if desired.

Praying for an investigation into the corrupt actors that did this to you for their political purposes. DOJ or someone needs to clean up what was done to you. Stay strong.

Justice will be done. Your courage gives me tremendous hope that we can prevail in saving the soul of our troubled country. While unbelievable efforts have been made to fabricate, concoct, and inculcate a hideous false narrative about you, there are a vast number who know and see the truth. May God keep you safe and ease your burden. I pray for your freedom and complete vindication.

May God guide Officer Derek and his team in overcoming and dismantling this kangaroo miscarriage of justice levied on him, that masqueraded as some weird sort of "proper legal action." We know it was not and must be rectified through whatever path to which the Almighty guides you. You are in my prayers. 🙏 🕯
