Georgia Fort

They're impacted by this.

This is all stemming from the fact that I filmed a protest as a member of the media.

Good evening.

Thank you so much for having me.

We're recovering.

It was extremely traumatic to have nearly two dozen agents come to our home.

My 17-year-old daughter, you could hear crying in the background.

She woke up after she heard the knocking on the door.

My younger two daughters, who are seven and eight years old, they slept through most of it.

However, I did find out at some point my eight-year-old woke up, but she was so terrified.

She just laid in the bed and cried.

Now what we're seeing from them, they're afraid to be alone.

They're having issues going through their normal routines.

And so we're just we're trying to recover from this.

My legal team has been extremely supportive, and the community has also been supportive.

Folks have been going to my website and making contributions there, but not just to the legal fund.

Folks are wanting to support my ability to continue telling the stories.

This is something I think that definitely would probably silence a lot of journalists.

And I'm committed to continuing to tell the story.

So I'm grateful that there has been an outpouring of support directly to my website and not just for legal fees, but just for my continued work as an independent journalist.
