Television networks and streaming services in the US are taking a stand against racism.

Over the weekend anti-racism protests around the country intensified as people took to the street over the death of George Floyd.

The 46-year-old was killed while being apprehended by police on 25 May.

Media companies took to social media to voice their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

HBO, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Starz, Amazon Prime, Warner Brothers, Viacom and E Entertainment have come out in solidarity.
