In the video celebrities addressed the ways in which Black and brown people have died at the hands of police including while sleeping inside their own home, riding a bike, sitting in a wheelchair, walking down the street, and coping with a mental health condition.

According to reports, the video titled "17 Ways Black People Are Killed in America" was shared by NowThisNews on Monday (January 18) in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.

The names listed featured George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks - four of the most highly publicized wrongful killings that sparked a mass social justice movement in the country.

Artists including Alicia Keys, Ty Dolla $ign, Summer Walker, Migos, and more have contributed their voices to a campaign video calling for the launch of a U.S. Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation within the first 100 days of the Biden/Harris administration.

It is a follow-up of the "23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You Are Black in America", which was released in 2016.
