The National bond Fund from the Net is one of the many organizations that aims to bail people out of jail or immigration detention, a necessary aid for people to participate in demonstrations throughout the country. Stephanie Beatriz, who plays Detective Rosa Diaz on the show, announced your single donation to the organization that same day, coinciding with the donation of The Tick star Newman, Griffin. Monday, June 1, Newman launched an initiative that calls on the actors who have played police officers to donate money to aid organizations to the protesters. The initiative came after an article in Vulture inspired online conversation about TV hyper focus on the application of the law and the way they shaped the public opinion about the police officers.
“I’m an actor who plays a detective on the TELEVISION,” Beatriz twitter. “If you currently play a police officer? If you make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in waste to play a police officer? I’m going to let you do the math. (Thanks @GriffLightning of the avant-garde).”
