The protests for the Black Lives Matter movement have reached many other countries around the world. The images arrive from all over the world, where thousands of people gather for the same reason: Black Lives Matter. From Auckland, New Zealand to Paris, France and Milan, Italy, people from all over the world have taken a stand and shown their support for America’s Black Lives Matter movement. All of them are carrying the same messages; to fight against racism and to be educated to change the world. It’s amazing to see people around the globe taking part in one country’s societal issues. Take a look at what some international celebrities have posted. Young French soccer player and world champion, Kylian Mbappé, posted this on his Twitter account.

Seeing celebrities all over the world showing their support means this issue spans internationally, not just nationally. Everyone should be concerned about this issue, but most importantly, everyone can stand up for what’s right. The New Zealand rapper Poetik posted on his Instagram account a powerful video from a protest in Auckland.
