The United States has been up in arms following the tragic death of George Floyd last week, prompting tens of thousands of Americans to participate in peaceful protests across the country.

Several celebrities and athletes — particularly NBA players — have joined these demonstrations, helping raise awareness to the injustices African Americans regularly experience.

Golden State Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were spotted marching in the Walking in Unity protest in Oakland, Calif. Elsewhere, the likes of Jaylen Brown, Jordan Clarkson, Tobias Harris and Karl-Anthony Towns have taken to the streets to unite against police brutality and systematic racism.
