The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor took to social media to make the announcement about his donations and also urged others to join him. He added that he commits to ‘disenfranchisement of Black America.’ Here’s the tweet

I commit to listen, learn, and take action. I am dedicated to end the disenfranchisement of Black America.

I will personally donate to the following organizations. Please join me in supporting @ColorOfChange, @fairfightaction, The @NAACP, & @eji_org. pic.twitter.com/z3sOaJ7Bqd

— Leonardo DiCaprio (@LeoDiCaprio) June 5, 2020

Leonardo joins a growing list of Hollywood celebrities who are donating to such organisations during the Black Lives Matter protests in the country. Across the country, people have been protesting against police brutality, specifically against the black community. On May 25, 46-year old George Floyd, an African-American man died in police custody after a police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for at least eight minutes. His death has sparked a series of protests across the US. _Also read — 'Get your knee off our necks': Al Sharpton says George Floyd's death marks reckoning for US on race and justice_ Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder by a Minnesota court.
