This past week has seen widespread protests in cities across the United States. Google today expressed solidarity for this moment in history with a message on the Search homepage.
Underneath the company logo and search field, there is a black ribbon with the following line: “We stand in support of racial equality, and all those who search for it.”
In addition to Google.com, this message appears at the bottom of Chrome’s New Tab page on desktops. Those high-profile spaces are usually reserved for advertising new services and hardware products.
The message is not accompanied by a link. Stateside, it replaces a Google Doodle “celebrating the Galápagos Islands.”
YouTube on Friday evening shared the same sentiment and announced that it’s “pledging $1M in support of efforts to address social injustice.” The video site’s Twitter account also switched to a more somber avatar, with the previous icon encouraging people to stay home in light of COVID-19.
We stand in solidarity against racism and violence. When members of our community hurt, we all hurt. We’re pledging $1M in support of efforts to address social injustice.

Meanwhile, Google late on Friday announced that the Android 11: Beta Launch Show would not take place this coming Wednesday. The team felt that “now is not the time to celebrate” as the San Francisco Bay Area where the company is headquartered experiences protests.
