After the killing of George Floyd, a survey found that 60% of respondents said a brand’s reaction to the protests “will influence whether I buy or boycott them in the future”

police violence and racism convulsed America’s streets this summer after the killing by a policeman of George Floyd, a black man, the heat could be felt in the air-conditioned corner offices above. America Inc rushed to announce plans to tackle racial inequality. Walmart said it would set up a $100m initiative to fight racism. Pepsi vowed to double spending with black-owned suppliers. Facebook and Estée Lauder pledged to hire more non-white candidates.

America should stop brutalising an entire people due to 1 man.5 million people are paying the price for Maduro,in a country with the world's largest oil reserves. Withdrawing from multilateral orgs saw no concensus on a direct and swift Baghdadi style strike. Trump was a disaster

This is true. I have actively boycotted companies that do not align with my views. I will continue to do so because I strongly believe that racism, hate & injustice has no place in my country. ”Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” MLK 🇺🇸🙏🏼✊🏼BlackLivesMatter
