Sederet Selebriti dan Brand Global Serukan Dukungan untuk George Floyd

Detik-detik menjelang pelonggaran karantina pandemi COVID-19, AS dilanda protes massal atas kematian George Floyd di tangan kepolisian. Seluruh lapisan masyarakat bersatu untuk menyerukan keadilan bagi setiap ras dan latar belakang sosial-ekonomi.

Bergabung bersama publik dalam gerakan yang telah berlangsung sejak akhir Mei ini, sederet selebriti dan brand menyerukan dukungan dengan cara yang berbeda-beda untuk melawan rasisme terstruktur yang ditunjuk sebagai biang kerok insiden George Floyd.

Melalui media sosial masing-masing, mereka menyampaikan pesan-pesan kuat, membuka donasi melalui organisasi sipil dan HAM, hingga membuat petisi dan merekomendasikan bacaan terkait sejarah bangsa kulit hitam di tanah Amerika. Berikut seruan mereka:

For the last few days, the magnitude of devastation, anger, sadness I’ve felt has been overwhelming to say the least! Watching my people get murdered and lynched day after day pushed me to a heavy place in my heart! To the point of staying away from socials, just to avoid hearing the blood curdling agony in George Floyd’s voice again, begging over and over for his life!!! The look of enticement, the pure joy and climax on the face of this bigot, murderer, thug, pig, bum, Derek Chauvin, haunts me!! I can’t shake this! I can’t get over an ambulance pulling up to an arrest, a paramedic checking a pulse without removing the very thing that’s hindering it! Is this that fucking normal??? If intentional MURDER is the fit consequence for “drugs” or “resisting arrest”....then what’s the fit consequence for MURDER???! #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery #BreonnaTaylor

I’ve been sitting here listening. Understanding. Educating myself . Making calls to demand justice. Donating. And reaching out to friends just in case they feel hurt or lost this week. If you are not standing in solidarity with the black community TODAY and EVERYDAY. Please unfollow me. Black lives matter...Black voices matter and the black community matters Today I will be standing with and donating to @NAACP_LDF, one of America’s oldest civil rights law organizations, which fights for police reform every day. “Partial justice is not justice at all--until all of the officers involved in the brutal murder of George Floyd are arrested, we will keep the pressure on.”????????????????????????
