Writer Issa Rae didn't sit still, she made something happen. She helped raise over 200k for Alton Sterlings children.


“If you feel helpless, but want to play a small part in easing the burden of Alton Sterling’s family, consider donating to this scholarship fund for his 15-year-old son (and his other kids),” reads the GoFundMe description.

Sterling’s oldest son broke hearts across the country when he was seen breaking down live on television over his dad’s death. He had to be consoled as his mother spoke about the tragic events that took his father’s life.
