GoFundMe scuttles campaign for trucker convoy, stops release of $10-million in donations

GoFundMe broke ties with convoy protesters late on Friday, citing “the promotion of violence and harassment” on the streets of Ottawa. The announcement scuttles one of the crowdfunding company’s biggest fundraising campaigns and blocks the release of nearly $10-million in donations.

The decision deprives demonstrators in the country’s capital of financing. Organizers had said they hoped the funds could keep protests in place for months in a bid to force government officials to retreat from vaccination mandates and other pandemic measures.

The organizers had said they wanted to use the millions of dollars in donations to provide fuel, food and lodging for truckers and others who are setting up encampments and blocking city streets.

Earlier this week, GoFundMe announced it had placed the $10-million in raised funds under review. On Friday, the California company released a statement saying it would end the campaign. Donors who apply for refunds within the next two weeks could get their money back, GoFundMe said, adding that any left over will be given to charities.

The company said in the statement that it made its decision after hearing arguments this week from protest organizers and local police.

“Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our terms of service,” GoFundMe’s statement said. It added that the protesters violated its clauses prohibiting “the promotion of violence and harassment.”
