Turning up to protests in the UK, New Zealand, Canada, and Germany over the weekend, thousands of people gathered in capital cities to demonstrate. Many held signs reading "Justice for George Floyd," and the words "I can't breathe," which were said repeatedly by Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, who died on May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, pressed his knee against Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Chauvin has been arrested and charged with murder.

Elsewhere in the UK, protests were held in Manchester and Cardiff.

In the largest protest in Auckland, thousands marched from central Auckland's Aotea Square to the U.S. embassy. "The disease of state-based discrimination is not constrained to American borders," Green MP Golriz Ghahraman told the Guardian. “The death of George Floyd is being felt around the world, encapsulating raw injustice that comes from centuries of oppression. We must learn from his death and prioritise the work to eliminate systemic racism from our police and justice systems."
