The function of the app is simple: In less than 60 seconds, connect the account you use to make everyday purchases. Here, your purchases will be rounded up to the nearest dollar to automatically donate each time you reach at least $2 in spare change. Users can pause and resume their contributions at any time. On the topic of his goals with the project, Ziegler explains:

“Our short term goals are to get as many folks home for the holidays as possible so we hope many folks join the platform for Giving Tuesday and contribute their holiday spending change to those in need.

Long term, we see the platform being used in a variety of ways to bolster the voices of those in need beyond just a financial contribution.”

People can be held for months without due trial or even a reason, all because they can’t make bail. Some people get stuck in jail for weeks, and sometimes months, over basic traffic violations.

Not to mention that breaking the law can be done for good reasons, for just reasons (look at how many protesters have been arrested even tho they were peacefully protesting, which is supposed to be covered and acceptable by our laws), and that “breaking the law” can sorta kinda mean whatever tf a cop wants it to mean. Quite literally. They can apprehend people simply because they can. Slap them with “resisting arrest” and call it a day. And then the person can rot in jail for who knows how long.
