Turner also responded to a comment on Instagram from someone asking why she was still protesting Floyd's murder even after arrests have been made. The actress replied, "This isn't just about those 4 cops, this is about Breonna Taylor, this is about Trayvon Martin, this is about Eric Garner, this is about the systemic racism that black people have faced for hundreds and hundreds of years. This is about changing the system. Justice will be done when society reflects our beliefs that we are all equal. Until then, there should be no peace."
Jonas shared several posts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and paid tribute to George Floyd, who was tragically killed when a police officer knelt on his neck. Jonas wrote, "Heartbroken again at the news of another man’s life senselessly being taken. We MUST do better. Text “FLOYD” to 55156 and sign the petition. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd."
