Now nearly two weeks in, the global movement is showing no signs of slowing down. To get a glimpse of what solidarity looks like, we rounded up some of the most powerful images and videos from across the globe.
Minneapolis
This is incredible.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey showed up to a protest & tried to spew hollow platitudes about "putting [police] in their place." The organizers asked him if he would commit to defunding the police.
He said no.
They forced him to leave.pic.twitter.com/i5Jua7XW0M
