Here are the companies giving millions to anti-racism efforts:
A number of companies have released statements pledging support to the black community. Amazon, Spotify, Snap, Netflix, Microsoft, Zillow and Disney are some of the corporations to speak out. But there have been calls by some online for companies to specify exactly how they are supporting the black community, while others are pointing out a perceived double standard in firms’ actions.
After Amazon tweeted: “Together we stand in solidarity with the Black community,” the American Civil Liberties Union responded: “Will you commit to stop selling face recognition surveillance technology that supercharges police abuse?”The NFL was also criticised by filmmaker Ava Duvernay for being “hollow + disingenuous.” Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not found work in the league since 2017, after he would protest police brutality and the racist treatment of black people in the U.S.
