The Facebook founder has reacted to the deaths of African Americans due to police brutality and he revealed the efforts he is making to use his platform to combat racial injustice. Mark Zukerberg has mourned the murder of, not just George Floyd, but also Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, and others who had died from the same cause.
He stated condemning police brutality saying it reminded him of how far the country has to go to give every person the freedom to live with dignity and peace, “It reminds us yet again that the violence Black people in America live with today is part of a long history of racism and injustice,” he wrote.
He further stated that “the organizations fighting for justice also need funding” and that “Facebook is committing an additional $10 million to groups working on racial justice.” He acknowledged that the money will not be enough but they are making efforts to put it to good use.
