Here Are All the Businesses Standing in Support of the Black Lives Matter Movement
May 31, 2020 at 05:59PM As protests continue across the U.S. and world following the murder of Minneapolis man George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin, many companies are releasing statements about the Black Lives Matter movement. As these protests grow and cities including Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta institute curfews, more companies, as well as celebrities, are using their platforms to stand with the protesters who are standing up against police violence—including the violence taking place at the demonstrations. “Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies,” Michelle Obama wrote in a statement on Friday. “And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on. Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.” Here is a list of the companies who are standing in solidarity with the movement and the protests. This post will be updated. Glossier The beauty company released a statement on its Instagram and Twitter accounts, which read, in part: We stand in solidarity with the fight against systemic racism, white supremacy, and the historic oppression of the Black community.

Jennifer Carroll Foy Wants to Be the First Black Woman Governor in America
May 27, 2020 at 11:15AM She spoke exclusively to ELLE.com before announcing her bid for governor of Virginia. In January, Jennifer Carroll Foy helped end nearly 50 years of inaction on the Equal Rights Amendment by leading a push to make Virginia the final state needed to ratify the landmark women’s rights legislation to the Constitution. Today, the 38 year old freshman state delegate and criminal defense attorney took on an entirely new, historic challenge, announcing she is running to become the next governor of Virginia. Carroll Foy is the first black woman to run for statewide office in Virginia, and if elected, she would be the first black woman governor in the country. (She may not be alone in this historic moment—Democratic State Senator Jennifer McClellan, who is also a black woman, has also signaled plans to run for governor in 2021). But just three years ago, when she mounted her first campaign against a well-funded, deeply entrenched white Republican opponent for a seat vacated by another white Republican man, none of this seemed possible. “When I decided to run, a handful of political people down in Richmond told me ‘no,’ they had their candidate. They figured flipping a Republican seat is really hard and I needed to wait my turn,” she told ELLE.com. Carroll Foy, who ran her campaign while pregnant with twins, went on to beat Michael Makee in a landslide. This content is imported from Twitter.

She had lived in Los Angeles just three months before heading back to the Carolinas to shoot the series. (Although Outer Banks takes place in North Carolina, it was actually filmed in Charleston, South Carolina.) In an interview with Seventeen, Bailey said she connected with the character because of their similar upbringings. “I was adopted into a white family. As a kid, you don’t realize that you’re riding on a privilege that doesn’t belong to you,” she explained. “Growing up and going out on my own and [I realized I was] being treated differently than I had been my whole life.
