Taylor Swift urges fans to vote for those who'll fight 'police brutality and racism of any kind'
Taylor Swift participated in Blackout Tuesday last week during which many musicians posted black squares on their social media sites in protest of racism and police brutality.
Now, the Grammy winner has taken to Twitter to call for change as protests continue to sweep across the nation -- and the world -- in the wake of George Floyd's death.
"Racial injustice has been ingrained deeply into local and state governments, and changes MUST be made there," Taylor tweeted.
"In order for policies to change," the "Lover" singer continued, "we need to elect people who will fight against police brutality and racism of any kind. #BlackLivesMatter."
After directing her followers to a recent article written by former President Barack Obama, in which he details how citizens can go about "changing policy at the state and local levels," Taylor went on to endorse voting by mail amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We need to fight for mail-in voting for the 2020 election," she wrote. "No one should have to choose between their health and having their voice heard."
