Jennifer Aniston is opening her pockets amid the ongoing protests calling for an end to systematic racism in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The “Friends” actress reportedly donated $1 million to U.S.-based racial justice nonprofit Color Of Change, according to multiple reports. The organization works across all sectors of the economy to “advance solutions for racial justice that can transform our world,” according to the website.
She is also auctioning off her nude portrait from “Friends”, taken by photographer Mark Seliger. All proceeds go to the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, which provides free COVID-19 testing and medical care, especially to communities and families that are underserved.
While Jennifer hasn’t made a public statement about the donation, fans will notice that the actress has linked the organization in her Instagram bio.
“Like most people, Jen has been deeply affected by what is going on in America and the terrible injustice that people of color experience every day,” a source close to the actress reportedly told The Mirror. “She wanted to show her support, and has donated a big sum to the charity she felt resonated with her the most. The link is on her Instagram page, so her fans can also donate.”
The 51-year-old has previously used her platform to speak out against racial injustice to her 33.9 million followers. Last week, Jennifer shared a video of James Baldwin asking the question, “how much time do you want for your progress?” Aniston shared the video alongside a heartbreaking caption, where she also urged fans to sign a Color Of Change petition.
