As the USA flares up in nationwide protests and riots in response to the death of George Floyd last week at the hands of a white police officer in an alleged act of racism, American companies are making their stand clear online.<\/span><\/p>\n

As individuals across social media stage virtual protests, walkouts, and change their profile images to all black in an event being dubbed the “BlackTuesday”, corporate America too is doing its bit. In an unprecedented show of solidarity with the Black community against a case of systemic racism in the country, brands across sizes and industries have been taking a stand against racism and vocally endorsing their support for diversity and inclusiveness across their social media and other communication channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last two-three days, mostly all American brands have suspended their regular marketing communications and replaced them with posts, messages, emails, and profile picture changes to reflect their stand on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sportswear major Nike was one of the first major brands to put up a video message in support of the movement. It turned its iconic\u00a0“Just do it” tagline into “For once don’t do it” with the copy “Don’t pretend there’s no problem in America.\u00a0 Don’t turn your back on racism.\u00a0 Don’t accept innocent lives being taken from us. Don’t make any more excuses. Don’t think this doesn’t affect you. For once don’t do it.”<\/span><\/p>\n
