Read about protests that have sparked in cities all across the world to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Recent weeks have shown that the vast majority of Americans agree that our country needs a long overdue change. Systemic and institutionalized racism still persist in practically every area of American life, from our healthcare system to our education system to our judicial system—and it’s not okay. It’s never been okay.
Protests have been occurring across the country since the murder of George Floyd on May 25—and across the globe. Thousands of people in cities including Amsterdam, London, Dublin, Copenhagen, New Zealand and countless others have been flooding the streets to support the Black Lives Matter Movement, and it’s a beautiful thing to see.
