The star followed up her call to action with a video from her time at the protest sharing her thoughts from the day. Quoting one of the speakers at the rally, Mendes shared that she was moved by his words, “he said it’s not enough to be an individual in today’s society.” Mendes asked her followers to absorb the meaning of the phrase as she did and further encouraged her followers to find and join organizations.

we showed up, we listened, but that is still not enough. sharing this video is not enough. one of the speakers today encouraged us to stop being individuals and start joining organizations. he said it’s not enough to be an individual in today’s society. i definitely needed to hear that, and i’m sure many of you do too. do your research and find the organizations that need you. #defundthepolice #jackielaceymustgo @janayathefuture @blklivesmatter @blmlosangeles
