The number of protesters arrested continues to go up, we've seen an increase specifically in the last couple of days. Many of those at Jefferson Square Park say they're taking care of everyone, and that includes protesters who are arrested.
The signs continue to push up towards the sky, protesters chanting for justice. "There's a lot of ways to protest and holding a place, creating a community where I can come from any background, any walk of life and sit here on one accord," said Shameka Parish-Wright who is with the Bail Project in Louisville.
Shameka Parish-Wright has been coming to Jefferson Square Park since day one of protests, she says they're calling it injustice park. "Our young protesters, many of them, this is their first time coming out to an event. Some of them got arrested laying down being tear gassed."
The Bail Project is a national organization that helps those incarcerated pay bail. Many protesters in the past three weeks have been helped by The Bail Project. They're also being represented by volunteer lawyers.
"They get released and many of them walk straight here to injustice square," said Parish-Wright.
There's an option to donate directly to Louisville for The Bail Project and they've seen an increase of support. So has the Louisville Community Bail Fund.
"I donated my paycheck last week which was $340.00 to the Louisville Bail Fund to alleviate some of that and so that protesters can get back out to protest," said 18-year-old Joseph Lewis. Along with protesting, Lewis decided to contribute, "It's both cool to be a part of and sad that it has to happen in this year."
This wasn't Lewis' first protest, he also marched in Washington, D.C. a couple years ago. "We need to see a lot of representation for this right now if we want to see change and we are starting to see change, but that doesn't mean we should stop protesting now."
"People are still coming back and holding this space," said Parish-Wright who'll be at Jefferson Square Park everyday. They're providing water, supplies to make signs and if you need it, legal support.
Whether it's holding a sign, money to donate, a profession that can help. There are many ways to protest, and people in Louisville are doing just that.
