Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian said Friday that he’s resigned from the company’s board and has urged that his seat be filled with a black candidate. The move comes as protests over police violence and racism continue across the US, sparked by the killing of George Floyd, a black man who died after being pinned down by a white officer in Minneapolis.

“I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now,” Ohanian said in a message posted on social media and his website. “To everyone fighting to fix our broken nation: do not stop.”
