'We believe in the power of story,' the studio said in a statement.
"Just Mercy," released in December, was the first studio project made with the inclusion rider, the contractual provision mandating the consideration of people from underrepresented groups for cast and crew positions.
The rider was initiated as a way to change long-term under-representation of people of color and women in Hollywood. Foxx, the film's star, flew to Minneapolis last weekend to join community leaders and social justice activists protesting the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died on May 25 after a white police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes.
"We’re not afraid to stand. We’re not afraid of the moment," Foxx said Friday during an impassioned press conference at city hall. "To watch this man plead for his life as I sit with my two daughters, my nephews who had just come from the grocery store. "I’m not a celebrity, I’m from Terrell, Texas. These are my brothers. This means everything because at the end of the day, when we see you guys out here on the front lines, we want to let you know you've got support."
