明尼蘇達州一名非裔男子喬治佛洛伊德（George Floyd）被警方盤查時被壓制頸部近九分鐘，最終失去意識，在送醫後宣告不治。此事件引起全美憤怒，在各州都發生了大規模暴動事件，甚至頒布了宵禁令。美國總統川普聲稱已致電慰問家屬，不過佛洛伊德的弟弟採訪時則表示自己根本無法插話，讓民眾憤怒值再次升高。自5月25日發生這件憾事後已經過一個禮拜，許多名人、品牌、明星們也開始向大眾喊話，希望大家可以一起站出來，為枉死的喬治佛洛伊德發聲。
近日，SNS上也發起了#BlackLivesMatter、#BlackoutTuesday運動，大家紛紛貼出黑色底圖並標記標籤，透過貼文來讓更多人關注此事。昨(2)天，許多企業品牌則進行「暗黑星期二」（Blackout Tuesday）活動，音樂串流平台Spotify在播放列表中插入了長達八分鐘的無聲音軌以向喬治佛洛伊德致敬，各大品牌也在昨天一天停止發布任何貼文，來表達沉默的抗議。而知名歌手蕾哈娜則霸氣暫停營業同名彩妝、內衣品牌一天，藉由不便來引起人們對此事的重視。
運動品牌龍頭NIKE則大動作將招牌口號「Just Do it.」換成了「Don't Do it.」就連對手愛迪達都先放下競爭，轉發NIKE的貼文。各大精品品牌也都不約而同發布貼文以表支持，包括VERSACE、FENDI、JEAN PAUL GAULTIER、DIOR、LOUIS VUITTON、PRADA、BURBERRY、CHANEL、YSL等高端品牌。BURBERRY感性表示：「這世上沒有空間能容納種族歧視。身而為人，我們都需要做得更好！」DIOR則霸氣貼出：「DIOR STANDS WITH YOU.」一起為喬治佛洛伊德發聲，對抗不公不義。
