In the wake of the recent deaths of Keith Scott and Terence Crutcher, actor Isaiah Washington has called on all African-Americans to boycott work this Monday, Sept. 26 ― the day of the first presidential debate ― to show the world that black lives matter. 
 
 Washington sent out his call to action on Facebook last Tuesday, also urging black people to boycott school and shopping for 24 hours. 
 
 On Wednesday, the actor shared another post on the social media site, telling followers that he had partnered with Madelon “Blue” McCullough from #Missing24, which seems to be a Twitter account supporting Washington’s cause. On the social media site, #Missing24 is described as “a grassroots movement for our people by our people.” 
 
 “Our goal is to maintain the safety of our people, while significantly impacting America’s broken judicial system that is oppressing us by removing our labor, our bodies and our money from it ... for 24 hours,” he wrote. 
 
 On Sunday, the actor posted a response to an interview request from Hazel Pfeifer of CNN, saying he would not speak to media “until the People of America give me a ‘reason’ to.” 
 
 The Huffington Post also reached out to a representative for Washington, but received no comment. 
 
 People on Twitter have been tweeting with the hashtags #StayAtHomeSeptember262016 and #Missing24 to show their support for Washington’s protest, but until Monday, it’s impossible to predict how many will participate. 
 
 This is a powerful statement but the question is well you be strong enough to commit to it ... I know I am ✊🏾#StayAtHomeSeptember262016 — Tavaris M. Jeffries (@CoachJeff_72) September 23, 2016
– It's time for black Americans to send the rest of the country a message by boycotting "the very system that was built on the backs of black people here in America," says actor Isaiah Washington. The former Grey's Anatomy star has joined the #Missing24 movement to call for a boycott of work, school, and shopping for 24 hours starting Monday to protest injustice and police brutality, USA Today reports. "Every African born in America is fed up, hurt, confused, saddened and angry about the continued extrajudicial killings by public servants in our streets," Washington wrote in a Facebook post. If every African-American "that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted" stayed home for a day, "from Wall Street to the NFL ... Black Lives Would Matter," Washington wrote in another post. Washington—who says he won't speak to the media "until the People of America give me a 'reason' to"—has also called for black users of Facebook and Twitter to black out their profile pictures for 24 hours. Washington's call for a boycott has been widely shared in social media, but it's not clear just how widespread the Monday boycott will be, the Huffington Post notes.
