A U.S. journalist shot by police while covering the 2020 protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis is dying of her injuries.

NPR reports a "nonlethal" foam plastic bullet hit Linda Tirado, 42, in the eye — even though she was wearing protective goggles and press credentials. "While we she has battled, her condition has continued to worsen to the point she is at life's end and receiving palliative care," the National Press Club said in a statement.

In 2020 photojournalist Linda Tirado lost an eye when police shot her with a "rubber" bullet. Today she's dying in hospice due to complications of being shot in the eye.

She's asked for two things:

1. That you send donations to help costs of dying, see below
2. That you attend city council meetings and hold your local politicians to as much accountability as we can.
