BUBLÉ MATCHING DONATIONS

Michael Bublé is encouraging fans to support the work of the American Civil Liberties Union by offering to match up to $100,000 in donations. The Canadian singer said he was acting in response to the May 25 death of George Floyd, an African-american man who died after a white Minnesota police officer was caught on camera kneeling on his neck.

“This is not the kind of world I want my children to grow up in. I stand in solidarity with the black community and all people who seek justice and equal rights. I pray for the safety of the millions of peaceful demonstrators around the world in these devastating times — as they express their outrage and need for real change,” said Bublé, shown. “Each of us must do more than pray. We need to be part of the solution in fighting systemic racism in whatever way we can.”
