The Canadian “Freedom Convoy” raised more than $3 million on GiveSendGo after GoFundMe removed its campaign amid controversy over how the nearly $10 million would be handled.

A new petition from the Canadian Freedom Convoy raised some $3.2 million out of a $16 million target on GiveSendGo, which was down on Saturday. The company said that it was being targeted by “heavy DDOS and bot attacks,” but on Sunday morning, the fundraising platform appeared to be online.
