Tens of thousands of protesters across the US have come together following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes.
A video of Floyd's death was shared widely online, sparking outrage among Americans and leading to widespread demonstrations against police brutality and racism across the US.
Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer who was recorded kneeling on Floyd's neck, has since been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Three other officers involved in the incident were fired but have not been charged.
Though some protests have turned violent from both the police and demonstrators, many more demonstrators have sought to remain peaceful.
In many cases, protesters have been seen preventing violence, protecting one another, and marching peacefully to demand justice for Floyd's family and other victims of police brutality.
From Minneapolis to New York City and beyond, demonstrators from all backgrounds have stood together in solidarity to fight against the pervasive issue of racism and violence against black Americans.
Protesters have been heard chanting the names of other black Americans who have died at the hands of police — including Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Tamir Rice — bringing to light to the ongoing issues of police brutality and systemic racism in the US.
These photos and videos show some of the moments of solidarity between those who are peacefully fighting for change.
