Social change is enacted when a society mobilizes. I stand in solidarity with all of those protesting. I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers.

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.
