To further take a stand against systemic racism, the Green Lantern co-stars also pledged to start voting for candidates with platforms that mirrored these ideals as well.

"Last week we contributed $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund," they continued. "We stand in awe of this organization and its leader, Sherrilyn Ifill. And this is just a start. We also pledge to stay educated and vote in every local election. We want to know the positions of school board nominees, sheriffs, mayors, councilpersons. We want to know their positions on justice. But mainly, we want to use our privilege and platform to be an ally. And to play a part in easing pain for so many who feel as though this grand experiment is failing them."

Concluding their statement, Lively and Reynolds also encouraged their followers to get involved by donating to similar organizations, signing petitions and reaching out to their local representatives to demand action.
