U.S. Embassy Statement on Planned Peaceful Protests
We welcome the wide range of voices organizing peacefully in the United States, Benin, and around the world to protest injustice and call for change following George Floyd’s tragic death. Throughout American history, our people have gathered peacefully to demand accountability from our leaders. The United States and other free and open societies are strengthened when free citizens exercise their rights to freedom of speech and assembly, and call for accountability through freedom of press and the rule of law
