Taylor Swift & More Stars Want Justice for Ahmaud Arbery After He Was Killed While Jogging
Taylor Swift has joining forces with the many celebs who are demanding justice for Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was killed by two white men while jogging in his Georgia neighborhood.
The shooting took place 10 weeks ago, but the story is making national news this week after a video of the murder was released online. An arrest has not been made in the case.

This young man was jogging, and was hunted down and killed for absolutely no reason other than the color of his skin. His name is Ahmaud Arbery. I join everyone calling out for #JusticeForAhmaud and I'm sending all of my love to his family. #IRunWithMaud pic.twitter.com/HKkrspFj9d

America has always made legal what is immoral when it comes to the treatment of black Americans… whether it’s slavery, segregation, mass incarceration or hunting a black man with your gun because you suspect him of being a criminal. https://t.co/Uht3aPBf6V

Ahmaud Arbery. I'm interrupting my regularly scheduled fashion programming to say his name. Ahmaud Arbery. He was murdered in Georgia. He was unarmed. On a jog. Two men shot with a shotgun. All caught on tape. The murderers are home. Ahmaud Arbery IS HIS NAME SOMEONE DO SOMETHING

Amplifying this. If you are in Georgia and are comfortable going outside with social distancing protocols, please safely support this family whose loved one was murdered in cold blood while jogging by gun-toting Trump supporting White supremacists. #JusticeForAhmaud https://t.co/XfGmo5KFb6

Allyship absolutely and unequivocally goes both ways.
An African-American man was chased and gunned down in broad daylight in his own neighbourhood, and his killers are walking free.
Please join me in taking a stand against ALL racism and prejudice. #JusticeForAhmaud

🙋🏻♂️Question!! If the murderers were within their rights under the Ga.Citizens Arrest Law, what was Ahmaud being citizen arrested for? Running?!!! #MAWA Ahmaud Arbery was killed doing what he loved, and a south Georgia community demands justice – CNN https://t.co/vHjUJM2vdL
