New York City could pay Black Lives Matter protesters arrested in 2020 thousands of dollars each as part of a proposed settlement in a class-action lawsuit.

If approved, the settlement is estimated to cost the city between $4 million and $6 million, considering that only about 90 of the 300 people in attendance at the June 4, 2020, protest have already settled with the city out of court.
The protests took place just days following the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, which sparked similar protests in cities across the country.
