Al Sharpton, and families of Black victims who have died at the hands of police officers including Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and most recently, Jacob Blake.

Sheila Jackson Lee (D- Texas), and many more.

Additionally, TV One has partnered with the NAACP to launch a new digital campaign in response to the violence and injustice deeply impacting communities of color. TV One will produce content to be posted biweekly on its digital properties which seeks to both address a myriad of systemic issues and galvanize viewers to bring about social change. The initial spot centers on continuing the momentum sparked by the Black Lives Matter movement in a way that uplifts the community. Other topics covered throughout the campaign includes making your presence known through Census completion, voting in local and national elections, mental and physical health, and the impact of Covid-19 on black businesses and personal finances.
