Rihanna, Lizzo and More Sign Open
Letter Demanding Police Reform As widespread protests continue around the country
against police violence, some of music’s biggest
celebrities have also joined the call for reform. Over 300 artists, including Rihanna, Lizzo,
Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish have signed
an open letter to the New York Police
Department demanding change. Megan Thee Stallion, Justin Bieber,
Demi Lovato and Migos were also among those
that put their name behind the letter. The letter calls for the repeal of statute 50-A,
a law that keeps police personnel’s disciplinary
records hidden from the public. Having access to these records is an “indispensable
step” in holding law enforcement officers accountable
for their actions, says the open letter. Open Letter,

in the path of justice” that must be “crushed entirely.” Open Letter,
