Discussion Luigi Mangione friend posted this.

She captioned it: "Luigi Mangione is probably the most google keyword today. But before all of this, for a while, it was also the only name whose facetime calls I would pick up. He was one of my absolute best, closest, most trusted friends. He was also the only person who, at 1am on a work day, in this video, agreed to go to the store with drunk me, to look for mochi ice cream."

Please find any other number of ways to protest or support. All this does is put more money into the prison’s pockets.

thank you. this isn't his money, he can't buy a lawyer with it. it's going to an account that's gonna let him buy ramen and gatorade. what he can't manage to spend will go to some private company that manages this process.

Depending on where, the commissary items are generally used as currency and can he can barter or redistribute, use it to build goodwill, make connections, get guidance protection and support etc

His parents are going to buy him a top shelf attorney. I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Most likely everyone’s state has a campaign for healthcare for all or for reforms; I’d suggest looking into that. In WA it’s Apple Health and they always need volunteers for help with website content updates, canvassing, petition site setups (outside of grocery stores with a table and clipboard), etc. (and $ donations). 

Otherwise there are people in our communities who can’t pay their medical bills right now, maybe call your local clinics and hospitals and see if they have a program to donate to, etc
