List of George Floyd protests in the United States

This is a list of protests and unrest related to the death of George Floyd. The protests began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020, a day after George Floyd, an African-American man, died during a police arrest.

There were simultaneous protests in hundreds of cities in all fifty states as well as internationally, with demonstrators supporting those seeking justice for Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, and speaking out against police brutality. Cities with major protests included Atlanta, Charlotte, Denver, Ft Lauderdale, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Phoenix, Seattle, Richmond, and Washington, D.C.
