Artists Who Are Standing Against Racism and Police Brutality With Their Music Right Now

Following the senseless deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others, people are searching for ways to heal in their communities and ignite change. Outraged Americans have joined protests around the country to stand against police brutality and racism, while others have turned to music to spread empowerment and hope.

Many artists are using music to communicate these important messages.

And YG, LL Cool J, Papoose, and more have also shared powerful messages through their music.
