I added that link to my profile, too. Albeit: the gofundme goal of 5k has already been reached. In less than 14 hours. Of course this is tempting, but would be the point of getting that gofundme to say 5 or 10 times of the original goal?

@GhostCatsaysReinstateMonica the initial 5k is probably for a retainer agreement. Unless something highly unexpected happens, the legal fees will be much more than that. Monica has said she'd up the goal as she gets more info. It's at 10k now. I would hope we can go beyond that.

The first link under "Members of the Lavender community" is to the open letter which is not primarily about Monica, but about the continuing mistreatment of LGBTQ+ people here. Did you add the wrong link? It's a bit of a misrepresentation to say it's "on Monica's behalf".

May I quote this on the GoFundMe page (with a link back here and attribution)? Testimonials like this from other people are valuable to show that it's not just me saying stuff.

@SilencedTemporarily you're quite right! Wasn't thinking. Was thinking of another post I can't find right now. Removing link 1 for the meantime.

This message is much better than the one I had come up with. I've just set it as my profile. Thank you!

The GoFundMe tally has just hit its initial $10,000 target! @MonicaCellio - time to double the target, methinks!

One of the fund raiser updates reads: "The amount we've raised so far covers the $7500 retainer I paid (thanks!). We know that there will be a lot more costs as the case proceeds, and on my attorney's advice I'm raising the goal to $30k.". Any unused money will go to The Trevor Project, which provides support including crisis intervention to LGBTQ+ youth and a variety of related community resources for everyone.

Note: As mentioned on the Nov. 14th update to the Monica GoFundMe, SE apparently will be taking down profile links meta.stackexchange.com/a/338302/375146
