Ariana Grande, Emily Ratajkowski, Michael B. Jordan, and other celebrities joined protests around the country this weekend
Photo: Instagram: @arianagrande On May 30, protests were held in nearly every major city across America to demonstrate against the death of George Floyd, with the National Guard now activated in at least 15 states. While some protests took a violent turn with a substantial amount of looting and arrests, others remained peaceful, with several celebrities choosing to march on the streets in solidarity with others to demand further justice for Floyd’s death.
Joining the protests elsewhere in Los Angeles was model Emily Ratajkowski, who said that the police were “militarized and civilians had no weapons.” She added, “these are not violent protests but they become violent when an actual Army is deployed.” Tinashe and Insecure actor Kendrick Sampson were also present in L.A., with Sampson documenting on Instagram Live how the police hit him with rubber bullets and a baton.
Michael B. Jordan and Kehlani also protested in Los Angeles. “No justice, no peace. Respect existence or expect resistance,” Kehlani wrote. Outside of California, John Cusack shared a video of Chicago police coming at him “with batons” while he was protesting on his bicycle. Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui also recounted how protests in Miami were “peaceful as fuck” until police “in full gear” and with tear gas arrived. Jamie Foxx and Nick Cannon, meanwhile, were on the frontlines in Minneapolis.
