#GeorgeFloyd

The murder that sparked a global movement.

Origin & Impact

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Video of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over 9 minutes sparked global outrage. #GeorgeFloyd became the center of the largest protest movement in U.S. history, with millions marching for racial justice.

The hashtag amplified calls to end police brutality and systemic racism, leading to policy changes, cultural reckonings, and sustained activism worldwide.
