just want to take a minute to say how proud I am of my little brother @sevianfrangipane for finding his voice and being out protesting every single day. keep your family close right now if you’re lucky enough to have them to rely on. if you are NON-BLACK and: married to a black person, the parent of a black child, or the child of a black parent, or any other interfamilial relationship with a black person, then this is a time to let them talk when they feel like talking. listen and listen with love. Don’t assume they aren’t upset because they haven’t expressed issues or traumas in the past. A lot of repressed feelings and memories may be uncovered right now. Receive it with grace empathy and promise to learn or change where need be. 💗 With Love. 📷: @paytonselzer

In the caption, Halsey praised the way he’s shown his support for the Black Lives Matter movement. She continued her post with a reminder to her fans about the importance of being an ally during these times. She urged them to listen to those in the Black community who wish to speak and to extend compassion as they tell you their stories.

Following the death of George Floyd, Halsey has been actively using her platform to call for racial justice while providing resources to get involved on her social media.

She has also been participating in several Black Lives Matter protests. On May 30, she took to Twitter to share her experience as part of one of the protests in California:

We are so proud of the way Halsey has been showing her support of Black Lives Matter, and we stand with her and the rest of the Black community as this movement progresses.
