Drake, Chrissy Teigen, and Steve Carell are just some of the stars who've donated to bail-relief funds across the US

• Numerous celebrities have shared on Twitter recently that they'd made donations to nonprofits that help bail out detained protesters across the nation.
• Stars like Seth Rogen, Abbi Jacobson, and Don Cheadle all shared screenshots of their donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, along with the caption, "Matched."
• Other celebrities like Steve Carell and Chrissy Teigen, also got in on the action, donating to various charities that aim to bail out protesters.
• Donating to bail-relief funds has become a popular way for people to support the ongoing demonstrations in Minnesota and across the US, which began after the death of George Floyd in police custody on Monday.

Numerous celebrities, including Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, and Abbi Jacobson, shared on Twitter recently that they have donated to a Minnesota-based nonprofit that helps pay bail for low-income people — and lots of other stars have followed suit.

Don Cheadle, Pete Holmes, Patton Oswalt, and Ben Schwartz, as well as writers and directors like the Safdie brothers, got in on the action, retweeting screenshots of other celebrities' donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund along with their own.

Musicians like Kali Uchis, Janelle Monáe, Noname, Kehlani, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared screenshots of their donations to the freedom fund, too.

And several other stars donated to bail-relief funds that weren't based in Minnesota.

Chrissy Teigen shared on Twitter that she was donating $100,000 after President Trump shared a statement announcing Saturday was "MAGA" night at the White House (he didn't elaborate what that meant).

In response to a since-deleted tweet calling the protesters "rioters and criminals," Teigen upped her donation to $200,000.

Other celebrities who contributed to bail-relief funds include Harry Styles, who revealed that he was "donating to help post bail for arrested organizers," and the band Paramore, who gave $25,000 across three organizations (Black Lives Matter Nashville, Campaign Zero, and the ACLU) in an effort to support the black community and "be responsible with their privilege."

Mindy Kaling, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds also opened up about their donations to organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Campaign Zero, and the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

And Ben Stiller shared news of his donation to a GoFundMe for Darnella Frazier — the 17-year-old who filmed George Floyd's death at the hands of police — on Twitter.

Celebrity couples like Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, and Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, have also made donations to social justice-focused organizations.

Nick shared on Twitter that he and Chopra had donated to the Equal Justice Initiative and the ACLU, and Joe revealed on Instagram that he and Turner had donated to those organizations as well.

Stephanie Beatriz and the rest of the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" cast, along with the showrunner, also made significant donations to the National Bail Fund Network. Beatriz even called on other actors who've played cops on TV to do the same.

And musicians like Drake, the Weeknd, and Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco have shared their donations to bail-relief and black-focused organizations, too.

Urie shared on Twitter that his silence on the protests made him "complicit" in the inequalities against black people, and that he was redirecting funds from his organization to "anti-racist organizations."

Poet Mustafa Ahmed shared screenshots of his interaction with Drake (whom he frequently collaborates with) on Twitter.

After Ahmed challenged him to match his donation to the National Bail Out fund, Drake sent Ahmed a DM saying he'd donated $100,000 to the organization — but had to sort out an issue with his credit card at first.

And the Weeknd posted screenshots of his donations to charitable organizations— which totaled $500,000 — on Instagram, telling followers, "keep supporting our brothers and sisters out there risking everything to push for actual change for our black lives."

K-pop group BTS, along with their record label Big Hit Entertainment, also donated, giving $1 million to Black Lives Matter. The group shared a statement in solidarity with the movement on June 4.

Donating to bail-relief organizations, including the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), has become a popular way of supporting the current protests nationwide, which began after a black man in Minneapolis named George Floyd died on May 25 when a white officer kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes.

"We are in awe of the support coming through right now," a statement on the MFF's website reads. "We are working with National Lawyers Guild and Legal Rights Center to help bails that are set."

The organization said that it's received many donations — approximately $20 million, according to a New York Times article — and encouraged would-be donors to send their contributions to other groups on the ground in Minneapolis, like Reclaim the Block and Black Visions Collective.

Floyd's death and subsequent demonstrations have sparked a considerable amount of debate and outrage online, with celebrities like Beyoncé, Halsey, and John Boyega all expressing their anger at the incident.
