Netflix is set to donate £3.9m ($5m) to black creators, youth programmes and black-owned businesses amid worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.
Last week, Netflix announced that they had curated a special “Black Lives Matter” collection on their platform, featuring the best films, TV series and stand-up specials from black creators.
“As an additional step, today we’re committing $5 million to non-profits dedicated to creating direct opportunities for Black creators, Black youth and Black-owned businesses.”
Hastings said: “Tackling racism and injustice in meaningful ways means creating long-term opportunities for the black community.
