The World Has Had Enough.

Above image taken by: @stevesweatpants

Over the past couple of weeks, demonstrations have taken place across the US—in all 50 states—and globally as the world continues to grapple with the disturbing video footage of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of the police. Floyd’s death has more broadly sparked pent-up outrage over centuries of systematic racism and police brutality.

Hundreds of thousands of protestors worldwide have taken over cities, parks, police stations, and state buildings in a long-overdue public expression that enough is enough—including many of our Explorest photographers who have been marching on the frontlines and capturing this historic movement.

Gathered below are images from those talented photographers displaying raw, emotional frames from protests throughout California, New York, and London.

Our family at Explorest will not tolerate racism. On both an individual and company level, we have vowed not only to condemn racism, but to actively fight against it. We implore you to join us in this fight and take a look at the resource list at the bottom of the article which gives black-owned businesses to support, petitions to sign, organizations to donate to, and black photographers to hire.
