This is a great idea! We could start fundraising for every protest currently being held to reopen. But I'm not sure what the donations would go to.

For each and every Lock-down protestor at any rally we could announce we’ll donate $ to Planned Parenthood or the DNC

We need to properly promote it and make sure that our thanks are landing in all these peoples feeds and everyone is coming in to thank them for their service to the x y z service they have raised money for. That way we do not have to wait to the end of lockdown. My brain is working on the details at the moment, but I will need one of my cousins across the pond to manage any gofundme if it is possible, cause tax and paypal and nonsense! *Soph strokes chin*

IIRC, there is an account where you can make a Planned Parenthood donation in Mike Pence's name and have an email sent to him thanking him for their support.

Wouldn't be hard to do on-line actually.

I received a check for $1200. from the government. As evidence of how inefficient the Trump administration is I have been receiving my Social Security checks via direct deposit since May 1997! I intend to write a thank you note to Donald Trump and outline for him where my contributions to Democratic candidates will be directed.

I have made donations to P.P. in Pence's name-it is really fun! I hope P.P. send him a thank you note with every donation in his name.
