YouTube Pledges $100M to Support Black Creators

"The execution of George Floyd—and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery—has led to unprecedented protests for racial justice in every part of our nation—and globally," civil and human rights lawyer Malika Saada Saar, Social Impact Human Rights Lead at YouTube, said in a statement. "And it started in part because 17-year-old Darnella Frazier defiantly and courageously recorded the video that has forced us all to confront what we were seeing and name it. "Video can be a powerful human rights tool for bearing witness to injustice, and Bear Witness, Take Action will be part of that hope and urgent call for change," Saada Saar continued. Viewers are encouraged to donate to the Equal Justice Initiative directly via Saturday's livestream.
