The "Freedom Convoy" is gaining traction on a new crowdfunding platform after GoFundMe shut its doors on the movement.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the group had raised more than US$6.3 million from 69,661 donors on GiveSendGo, which describes itself as the 鈥�#1 free Christian crowdfunding site.鈥�

The new campaign states that funds raised will help protesting across Canada and will also help with food and shelter costs, 鈥渢o help ease the pressures of this arduous task.鈥�

鈥淚n order for your generous donations to flow smoothly, the good people at GiveSendGo will be sending donations directly to our bulk fuel supplier and are working out the details now which means your hard earned money is going straight to who it was meant for and need not flow through anyone else,鈥� the page description reads.

鈥淎ny left over donations will be donated to a credible veterans organization which will be chosen by the donors.鈥�

However, , GiveSendGo said they鈥檝e been in contact with campaign organizers and have received 鈥渇ull assurance鈥� that all funds raised will go to providing humanitarian aid and legal support for the truckers.

Last Friday, GoFundMe removed the group鈥檚 fundraising page, where they had raised more than $10 million, after stating the objectives of the convoy violated the platform鈥檚 terms.

鈥淲e now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,鈥� a statement from GoFundMe reads.

An initial $1 million had already been released to the organizers of the protests. The rest of the money will be refunded directly to donors.

For close to two weeks the convoy鈥檚 Ottawa-based rally has blockaded the downtown core of the nation鈥檚 capital, shuttering businesses, clogging traffic, and generating lawsuit-provoking noise pollution. It鈥檚 all in an attempt to convince elected officials to remove all vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions.

The protests have garnered global attention, namely in the U.S.

Many U.S. media personalities, political strategists, and elected officials have applauded the movement for its pursuit to restore 鈥渇reedom.鈥�

While information about donors, their location, and their intention remains limited, Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly indicated in a press conference last week that there may be U.S. ties.

鈥淲e are now aware of a significant element from the U.S. that have been involved in the funding, the organizing,鈥� he said.

GiveSendGo does provide a list of donations but many supporters are identified as 鈥渁nonymous鈥� and they provide no information about their location. Amounts range anywhere from $10 to $25,000.

In the comments section, donors urge the convoy not to quit, to keep fighting for the working class, and to continue to stand up against 鈥渢yranny.鈥� Some directly call out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In a video posted to the top of the fundraising page, convoy organizer Tamara Lich 鈥� a Prairies-based political activist 鈥� said the group plans to be in Ottawa for the 鈥渓ong haul.鈥� 

鈥淎s long as it takes to ensure that your rights and freedoms are restored,鈥� she said.

The group hopes to raise US$16 million.
