Cynthia Bailey is getting involved in the Black Lives Matter protests.

The “RHOA” star, 53, took her daughter, Noelle Robinson, and her fiancé Mike Hill’s daughters, Ashleé and Kayla Hill to a protest in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Robinson’s girlfriend Alexis also joined the group to protest against police brutality and racism after the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.

“Although we are still in a pandemic, our girls asked Mike and I to take them to a peaceful protest in downtown LA against social injustice and police brutality,” Bailey told Page Six on Friday after sharing a snapshot of the group on Instagram.

“Honestly, sitting home watching the news everyday and spreading the word on our social media platforms was not only making us angry, it was depressing,” she added. “Going out as a family for the day to protest not only picked up our spirits, and lifted our hearts, it gave us hope. The love and support from the people gathered at the protest was overwhelming. There were so many people! Passing out waters, masks, snacks and hand sanitizer. ALL kinds of people from all walks of life united in the name of righteousness. It was not only powerful, it was beautiful to see people, ALL people come together as ONE.”

Bailey previously shared photos of the group in action on Thursday and expressed her pride alongside the images, writing, “spent the day protesting against police brutality, injustice & inequality with my family. progress is being made, and we must continue to make our voices heard. it was a beautiful, peaceful protest, and i was absolutely blown away by all the love & unity that surrounded me. people shared waters, and snacks with everyone. such a small act of kindness but spoke volumes. i was so proud to be with my fiancé @itsmikehill & our girls to stand with everyone that came out in the name of righteousness👊🏾❤️🙏🏽. ”

Hill added, “Such a powerful scene. Such an incredible experience. Joining this protest with my fiancé and girls (AND I’M SO PROUD OF OUR GIRLS, WHO WANTED TO BE THERE) was needed.”

Bailey is currently living in Los Angeles with sportscaster Hill, 49, as they prepare for their Oct. 10 wedding.
