Washington went on to talk about how everyone can get involved in the fight for social justice.

"This is such a great moment, because we are in an unprecedented time when people of extraordinary privilege, for lots of reasons, are asking themselves how they can be part of the solution," said Washington. "Whether it is to give your time, give your money, give your heart, speak up in the conversation when somebody says they don't believe something."
