Protests calling out police brutality and racism following the death of George Floyd have drawn a number of celebrities, from Jamie Foxx and Joe Jonas to Kanye West and Ariana Grande. On Saturday, June 6, Pink and husband Carey Hart joined the cause, attending what both described in an Instagram post as a peaceful protest.
The singer who recently recovered from contracting COVID-19 in mid-March shared a photo of herself going incognito at the demonstration, wearing a head wrap, sunglasses and N95 face mask as well as a Rosa Parks T-shirt. The post also included video footage of protesters holding signs in support of Black Lives Matter, which she shouted out in the hashtags featured in her caption.
The post fetched nearly 400,000 likes from fans like Busy Philipps and Reese Witherspoon and plaudits from those hailing her for, to quote one commenter, always putting your money where your mouth is. Indeed, Pinks protest participation comes just a few days after she criticized President Donald Trumps tweet calling for law & order.
Youre a coward and a racist and just like everything else youve ever attempted in your life, A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE. she responded to him via Twitter. I cant wait to vote you out in November. Maybe youll see the results from your baby bunker.

And those saying All Lives Matter are completely missing the point. All Lives Matter does not need to be said. Black Lives Matter does - we are talking about systemic racism.
