My name is Montez Lee. I was arrested during the George Floyd riots. I have been wrongly accused of arson by the federal government. I have been incarcerated for the last 8 months and have only been in front of a judge once since. I have been denied bail release pending trial because i am a supposed danger to the public and a flight risk even though I've never ran from an officer and I'm a respected community member. I am a father to two children who i have had little contact with due to being incarcerated. I have lost everything I've had because of this situation. With high hopes of prevailing, I'm asking for help with restoring my life. I have nothing to come home to in terms of housing, clothing, and transportation. I hope to help others who have been wrongly accused and steer them in the right direction, in the future. I also hope to go back to college to do so. Every dollar donated is a step closer to achieving that. Thank you for your contributions.”
