Today (June 2) has officially been taken over by the #BlackoutTuesday slogan on social media to highlight the racial injustice and social discrimination.

This is a very simple way to show your support for the much overdue change, just make sure that when you posy you only mention #BlackoutTuesday and avoid other Black Lives Matter hashtags which are used for important information.

In solidarity with the Black community, our employees, our friends, our families, and our colleagues across industries, we are proud to take part in #BlackoutTuesday.⁣ ⁣ Fenty Beauty will NOT be conducting any business on Tuesday, June 2.⁣ ⁣ This is not a day off.

You can also make your voice heard by singing Color of Change’s petition, and Change.org’s petition, donate to the GoFundMe set up by Floyd’s brother, donate towards achieving racial justice on The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, as well as Communities United Against Police Brutality.
