Citizens of countries around the world are gathering to protest the death of George Floyd and, more broadly, racially-motivated police brutality.


The protests following Floyd’s death while in police custody have apparently sparked a global call for governments to answer for racial injustice and police brutality. (RELATED: REPORT: One Man Killed After National Guard, Louisville Police Return Fire On Crowd)


Thousands of protesters gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in London, England, to protest the death of George Floyd. They echoed the chants of many protesters in the United States such as “We can’t breathe” and “No justice, no peace.” 


In Toronto, Canada, calls for the end of American racism were combined with outrage from the recent death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who reportedly fell from her balcony after officers arrived at her home responding to a call about assault.


In Paris, people also gathered to protest the detention centers that have reportedly placed immigrant refugees behind bars. Parisians demanded regularization of immigrant status and equality. In 2016, a black man named Adama Traoré was reportedly pinned down and tackled by police in a fashion similar to George Floyd. Traoré later died as well.


Thousands of demonstrators again occupied a U.S. Embassy, this time in Berlin, Germany. Several soccer players in the German soccer league also voiced their solidarity. The league is investigating the matter as players are banned from making political statements during games, according to the New York Times.


In Montreal, Canada, authorities claimed that the protests on Sunday were illegal and began to arrest demonstrators. The protests quickly became violent when protesters began throwing objects at police, who retaliated using pepper spray and tear gas, according to the New York Times.


Dam Square in Amsterdam, Netherlands, filled with protesters in support of American demonstrations.

Forms of support came in different ways as Chilean activists informed U.S. protesters to cover their eyes. Thousands of protesters were blinded and otherwise injured during inequality protests in October 2019.


In Australia, protests of George Floyd’s death were mixed with outcry over the injustice indigenous peoples have allegedly suffered under local police forces.


In New Zealand, thousands gathered to protest the injustices of police brutality while demonstrators in Tokyo, Japan, clashed with police officers during their demonstration.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
