Help me not go to jail

Aim

Help me pay my court fines that I've accumulated over the years to prevent me from being sent to prison

Since 2022 I've been involved in various forms of direct action to draw attention to issues such as the climate crisis, cost of living crisis and the exploitation of animals. 

In that time I've travelled up and down the UK and been on trial 7 times. Not all of those trials have gone my way and most recently i was given a 2 year suspended sentence meaning if I'm convicted of any crime in the next two years protest related or not ill be sentenced to 13 months in jail. Given the government's continued crackdown on peaceful protests, this pretty much puts an end to my direct action for the time being. i now need to turn my attention to paying off many of the court fines I've been dealt in the wake of these protests. As failure to pay these will now likely result in prison. Especially given many of these hefty fines are also expected to be paid within a certain length of time or face further penalties.

Financial penalties are a form of punishment specifically designed to deter the least wealthy in society and have the hardest impact on the working class (the people also with the most reason to protest.) Those with larger incomes could continue to commit crimes incurring financial penalties to their hearts content if they had the funds to pay them off. But the normal everyday person isn't afforded that privilege in society and thus any act of protest they commit is taken with the consideration of how the financial penalty will impact them most and deter them from further protest. 

In my day to day life I'm self employed and spend most of my days working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks and these financial penalties may force me to stop this work. Not only would this be disappointing for me but also for all the amazing people i have the great privilege to work with. 

As a result Im asking for help in raising funds to help cover my court fines so that i may dedicate as much of my time as possible to continuing the work i do with my own business and continue to help as many people as i can as often as i can.

I appreciate not everyone is in the position to be able to give money especially to such a personal cause but for those who can it would be greatly appreciated and for those who can't even a share of this fundraiser could make a huge difference! 

Thank you!
