YG joins BLM to host the largest 'Anti-racism' march in BLM LA history, joined by J-Lo, A-Rod, Diplo and 50,000 more people.
While some celebrities are speaking out against police brutality or donating money to help pay for protesters' bail and support the Black Lives Matter movement, others are taking to the streets and joining the crowds.
Following George Floyd's tragic death, protests have been happening nationwide, as well as in numerous countries around the world, to stop police brutality and systemic racism.
Over the weekend, Jennifer Lopez and fiancé Alex Rodriguez joined the call for change. The singer and the former baseball star marched with protesters and carried Black Lives Matter signs at a demonstration in Hollywood on Sunday.
Lopez took to Instagram Sunday night and shared video of herself and Rodriguez marching side by side, wearing their city-mandated face masks and dark shades, and holding the signs high while chanting with the crowd. According to the singer, it was her 12-year-old twins -- Emme and Max -- who made their signs.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, shared a slideshow of photos and video from their time at the march. He captioned the powerful black-and-white images: "All across our nation, for nearly two weeks, the message has been sent loud and clear. Americans everywhere protesting for peace. For equality. For humanity. To show #BlackLivesMatter."
Rapper YG helped lead Sunday's big march in Hollywood, which began outside the iconic Capitol Records building. YG helped lead the demonstration with Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors, Black Lives Matter Los Angeles' organizer Melina Abdullah and actor Kendrick Sampson. Other celebrity guests included Diplo, Karrueche Tran, Terrence J, Tank and more.
"The real story here is me and Black Lives Matter brought out 50,000 people today to peacefully protest and unite for change," YG wrote in one of a number of posts he shared from Sunday's demonstration. "All of us protesting are on the same side here..instead of questioning each other’s activism we should be directing that energy at the cops and the government and helping to create the change we want to see."
Across the pond, pop diva Madonna turned out to show her support and march in a Black Lives Matter protest in London at Parliament Square on Saturday. The songstress hobbled through the streets on crutches -- reportedly the result of a knee injury that recently forced her to cancel upcoming dates on her Madame X Tour -- along with her four youngest kids, David, Mercy, Estere and Stella, and together they spoke with activists while chanting and marching with the crowd.
"Peaceful Protest with the Fam in The U.K. We marched from Parliament to 10 Downing street," Madonna wrote alongside a number of photos she posted to Twitter the day after the march. "It was an Honor for all of us to be there!! My children were thrilled to be there!!"
