Hadid, who’s Instagram is typically flooded with runway photos and personal videos accounting her travels is now filled with call-to-action posts, regarding the tragedy in Minnesota. In a recent post, she urged her followers to donate to The Official George Floyd Memorial Fund, which has since raised over $7 million dollars.

I’ve been sitting here listening. Understanding. Educating myself . Making calls to demand justice. Donating. And reaching out to friends just in case they feel hurt or lost this week. If you are not standing in solidarity with the black community TODAY and EVERYDAY. Please unfollow me. Black lives matter…Black voices matter and the black community matters Today I will be standing with and donating to @NAACP_LDF, one of America’s oldest civil rights law organizations, which fights for police reform every day. “Partial justice is not justice at all–until all of the officers involved in the brutal murder of George Floyd are arrested, we will keep the pressure on.”💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽

By utilizing her platform to help spread information, she is encouraging activism via donations, self-education and demanding justice by contacting local offices. We are always appreciative of celebrities utilizing their voices and their platforms to extend and enhance political and social activism. Kudos to Hadid for supporting the movement and continually refusing to stay silent.
