Milla Jovovich teaches daughter Ever importance of protesting as they join Black Lives Matter in LA

Milla Jovovich has been known to use her platform to promote causes near to heart with 3.6million Instagram followers.

And the Ukrainian actress is teaching the importance of using your platform to her three daughters.

She posted a photo and a heartfelt statement Friday to Instagram as she and husband Paul WS Anderson took their daughter Ever to a Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles.

The 44-year-old and Ever, 12, held up signs that read ‘Black Women’s Lives Matter’ as Paul, 55, waved a list of Black people killed by police brutality.

She wrote: ‘As parents, my husband and I wanted to help our eldest daughter raise her voice in protest as well and feel like a real part of this incredible movement for justice that’s happening all over the world in support of #blacklivesmatter. 

‘Because no matter how small she thinks her voice is, she could see the impact of her actions right there in the moment by the overwhelming amount of people cheering and honking as they drove by our little group standing on the sidewalk.’

Jovovich continued: ‘The smile on their faces as they raised their fists in the air while they went about their day. I was able to show her how her small action made us all feel connected to something so much bigger than ourselves and maybe inspired others to take action too.’

She offered a call to action: ‘I urge all parents to do the same with their kids! Make some posters and go out into your neighborhood regardless of the size of your group. 

‘Because no matter how small your protest is, it will still affect like minded people in a positive way and who knows? Maybe it can seed a kernel of change in those that don’t feel the same way we do.’

The Dazed and Confused star previously posted a statement and resources after last week’s killing of unarmed Black man George Floyd by Minneapolis ex-police officer Derek Chauvin.

She wrote: ‘This needs to stop NOW. We need to re educate our police officers to weed the hateful ones out. We need to demand for change in the way our government treats people of color. 

‘The War On Drugs needs to be ended. This epidemic of privatized mass incarceration needs to end. We need to treat others as we would like to be treated. End of story.’

She also promoted one of her favorite artists NoMBe, after he was evicted for letting protesters stay in his apartment over night to keep them safe from violent police after curfew. 

Jovovich shares daughters Ever, Dashiel, five, and Osian, four months, with Anderson, whom she married in 2009 after her directed her in the 2002 blockbuster Resident Evil.
