The celebrities who have donated to the Black Lives Matter movement

Celebrities have donated to causes related to the Black Lives Matter movement as the nation continues to grapple with protests related to systemic racism and police brutality.

A renewed focus was placed on the Black Lives Matter movement after the death of George Floyd on May 25 while in he was in police custody in Minneapolis. His death sparked protests and riots throughout the country. Many celebrities attended protests, but others have used social media to promote campaigns they’ve donated to in response to the unrest, including bailing out protesters who have been arrested by police, groups that seek to make calls to “defund the police” and reality and political advocacy groups for the Black community.

With so many famous people advocating for a myriad of different causes, it may be hard to keep track of which celebrities have put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the Black Lives Matter movement. Here's a rundown of just some of the prominent figures that have lent financial support to the cause.
