It has been almost two weeks since the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed in police custody. Since then, civil rights protests have spread across the United States and around the world. And while people are demanding justice, their dogs are there to support them.

Twitter user Jasmine Rice has compiled a whole thread of pictures of very good bois and girls protesting. You have Dachshunds holding anti-racism signs, Huskies wearing Black Lives Matters shirts; pooches of all breeds are condemning bigotry and violence. Continue scrolling to meet them!

According to CNN, Sunday brought a string of symbolic and significant victories for the protesters, as the peaceful demonstrations prompted authorities to lift curfews and withdraw National Guard troops.

In Minneapolis, a veto-proof supermajority of the city expressed their support for a protest demand that has gained a lot of momentum this week and pledged their commitment to defunding and dismantling the city's police force.

"Yes. We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety," council member Lisa Bender tweeted.

As recent protests around the US have remained peaceful, authorities have started easing up restrictions: Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and Buffalo in upstate New York just lifted curfews.

We do matter pup. Black dog syndrome is real. Black dogs are usually the last to be adopted.

Also, following the suspension of two NYPD officers for excessive force toward protesters, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the city would move funding away from the police force and instead put it toward youth and social services.

President Donald Trump tweeted today that he has ordered the National Guard to start withdrawing from Washington, DC. However, so far it is still not clear if all troops are being withdrawn or just those who came from out of state.

And things are happening not just in the US. Solidarity protests have spread all across the globe. In England, for example, thousands of people gathered in the streets of London and Edinburgh in support for the Black Lives Matter movement. And a crowd in Bristol even toppled the statue of a 17th-century slave trader and threw it into a river.

I have a feeling doggos are doing their part in these places as well!

Gets right to the heart of the matter. Just compare the treatment of the anti-mask protestors who brought guns and got right in the cops’ faces to the treatment of the BLM protestors who did neither of those things.

I like how someone tried to blur out the tiny sign around the dog's neck, but forgot about his little flag. Either way, I totally agree. Fu*^ racism!
