Many celebrities are joining the nationwide protests sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minn. Across the country, people have been protesting against police brutality, specifically against the black community, in the wake of a shocking video that shows Floyd being taken into custody by an officer who places his knee on his neck.

Thousands of people have been arrested as protests continued across the United States for an eighth night following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week in police custody.

Actor Jamie Foxx lent his voice to a rally at San Francisco’s city hall on June 1, singing with his fellow protestors during the ‘kneel-in’ demonstration. The Ray Oscar-winner, 52, took to the podium during the protest and sang the verse from Isaiah 54:17. “No weapons formed against me, shall prosper, it won’t work. No weapons formed against me shall prosper.”

Jamie Foxx is encouraging others to take action and demand justice in order to enact real change. Following the fatal arrest of George Floyd, which has sparked outrage and protests across the nation, the 52-year-old actor joined thousands of peaceful protestors outside San Francisco's City Hall on Monday to honor the Minneapolis man, and countless other black lives that have been lost due to police brutality.

In the last few days, various Hollywood celebrities have stepped out of their homes to participate in the protests against the killing of George Floyd and all the other black victims of police brutality. Jamie Foxx too joined the list as he joined a rally and addressed the protesters.
