The charity organizing Tamara Lich’s criminal defence has announced it is crowdfunding to help cover the legal costs of fighting charges stemming from Lich’s involvement in the truckers’ Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa in 2022.

Lich’s criminal defence is being financially supported by The Democracy Fund (TDF), a Canadian charity that litigates on constitutional issues. In a news release on June 28, TDF announced it would be crowdfunding for Lich who was charged with several minor, non-violent offences including mischief.
