SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Actor and activist Jamie Foxx, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Reverend Amos Brown and other black leaders staged a peaceful kneel-in on the steps of City Hall on Monday, where they raised their voices in support of their community following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Brown called on Americans to use their voting power to remove President Donald Trump from the White House during the 2020 presidential election.»There has been a resurgence of racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, chauvinism and all of these evil-isms that have divided the human family since one Donald Trump got a residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D. C.» said Brown. «We must go from protest to production. Now, I want to see if you will accept the charge to produce some votes this November and give Donald Trump a ticket out of the White House.»Foxx took the stage to voice his feelings about the death of Floyd and what he thinks needs to be done.»We have to make sure that once this is done, that we have to try to make change occur when it comes to police brutality,» he said. «There has to be a deterrent. If that man can be handcuffed and that man can sit on that man’s neck for that long and feel comfortable about it, that means he’s not afraid of what’s going to happen.
