Ashley Judd is among the many celebrities that have appeared at the Democratic National Convention this week.
On Tuesday, the actress appeared outside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to join Black Lives Matter protesters as they marched in the streets.
"I was on my way to the criminal justice reform panel ... and this is the most perfect and poetic diversion," she said of the protest.
"I'm really privileged and honored and humbled ... to be a part of it," she said.
Judd posted a video on Twitter in which she can be seen holding a Black Lives Matter sign.
"Black Lives Matter. All lives matter, and a sign that I particularly appreciated said, 'A good cop is not a racist cop,' and there are plenty of good police officers in the world, including my nephew ... They're a kind and decent people. They're beautiful, intelligent people who try to do the right thing. We also have a lot of problems in the system, and we all know that," Judd told KSAZ.
The actress also posted a photo of herself and a law enforcement friend, Sgt. Tom Bullick.
"Such a deep pleasure to make friends with incredible law enforcement officers like Sgt. Tom Bullick #DemsInPhilly," she wrote.
