George Floyd, an African American man, was murdered on 25 May 2020 during a police arrest. Protests seeking justice for Floyd began in the United States the next day, with citizens of other countries soon following suit. Internationally, protesters demonstrated opposition to racism worldwide,[1]
opposed police brutality,[2]
questioned the arming of police,[3][4]
and expressed solidarity with their counterparts in the United States.[5]
Prominent local issues included the 2016 death of Adama Traoré near Paris while in police custody (for whom roughly 20,000 people protested at various times) and the high rate of death amongst incarcerated Indigenous Australians.
Protests took place in over 60 countries and on all seven continents. The protests took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which gathering in crowds was strongly advised against in some parts of the world, and outright banned in others.

The Green Party said 'state-based discrimination' was not constrained to American borders. 'We must acknowledge that here in New Zealand, at every single step of the justice system, Māori face increased discrimination', justice spokeswoman Golriz Ghahraman said. [...] Ghahraman urged people to speak out against the Armed Response Team, when consultation on the trial was made public. Auckland protest organisers said the trial resulted in three Māori or Pasifika people being shot and killed by police in the past few months and that there was a problem with 'militarisation' of the New Zealand police.
