The two actors were photographed at a protest in Venice, California, on Tuesday amid several other protesters who were denouncing the demolition of the First Baptist Church of Venice. Affleck, 47, wore a dark gray T-shirt and a matching sweater and held up two signs, one of which read, "Save First Baptist Church of Venice," while a smaller one read, "Black Lives Matter." De Armas, 32, stood beside him in a black tank top and jeans, as she clapped her hands. The First Baptist Church of Venice was built in 1910 and has been a landmark building within the African American community — although its history is in danger of disappearing.
