Chrissy Teigen and More Stars Donate to Bail Out Protestors Amid the Black Lives Matter Movement
Spending their time — and money. Celebrities have stepped up amid the global protests of people around the world demanding justice following the death of George Floyd.
Floyd died after police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis on Monday, May 25. The stars quickly began joining in on the protests against police brutality and racial inequality, and sharing their reactions — and ways to help — on social media.
Multiple celebrities began posting their donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a nonprofit organization that can help bail out individuals who can’t afford to do so. When some posted screenshots of their direct donations, they asked for others to “match” their donation — and the tweets began going viral as others matched.
