The Oscar winner also carried a small black purse with gold detailing, which she wore across her frame.Angelina's long skirt fell to her mid-calf, and she wore a long sleeved top as the weather has started cooling in Southern California. Her auburn hair was in a half-ponytail, and it hung long and straight at her shoulders.The group of demonstrators, from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), carried white signs with phrases such as 'Animals are not ours to wear' and 'This is the face of cashmere'. The photo on the sign that accompanied the latter phrase showed a sheep being shorn, while screaming.Another sign proclaimed, 'The face of fashion is fear'.As Jolie and her son left, the group entered the store and stood brandishing their signs. The mother-of-six, for her part, has long been an advocate for protesting and speaking out for one's beliefs.The one-time United Nations peace ambassador and refugee advocate in fact is currently at work on a new book with Amnesty International, focused on helping young people find their voice and power when it comes to protesting.Last week, it was announced that the work, entitled Know Your Rights (And Claim Them), has been acquired by Anderson Press.It will help children up until the age of 18 counter misinformation and let them know how to stop their rights from being violated.And on the acting front, Jolie's most recent voice role is in a film also advocating for animal rights.

Angelina Jolie has collaborated with Amnesty International on a new book that will help young people know their rights when protesting against injustice. The UNHCR Special Envoy, 45, is keen to help 'empower' those who are trying to make a change in the world, whether that be by protesting on the streets or within their community, with the book Know Your Rights (And Claim Them). It was revealed on Wednesday that the book, which has been acquired by Anderson Press, will help children up until the age of 18 counter misinformation and let them know how to stop their rights from being violated.Angelina decided to work with the charity and Geraldine Van Bueren QC after they noticed how many young people have taken to the streets to protest about the environment, Black Lives Matter, or other issues, without knowing their rights. Speaking about the collaboration, Angelina said: 'Today we have youth engaged and ready to fight. 'But many struggle with misinformation from adults, a lack of awareness of their rights, and a lack of knowledge of how to use the specifics of their rights, applying them to the country and circumstances in which they live.'We need to give them the tools to strengthen their fight and empower them. Amnesty, Geraldine and I hope to get these books into the hands of young people, and for them to be a guide that they can carry with them and use. 'Not just to inform them, but to activate them and serve as a source of reference where needed.' The actress has written an introduction to the book which details the history of child rights and why it's important to know them, before going into the ones that young people need to be aware of and how to apply them to their daily lives. It'll focus on topics such as free speech, gender and racial equality, and health, as well as a clean climate and a sustainable environment .Not only will it act as a helpful tool for young people, Angelina and her collaborators hope it will also be a source of inspiration for those reading it. The book has been written by Amnesty International with Angelina and Geraldine serving as consultants, Geraldine worked on the 1989 UN Convention On The Rights Of The Child. As well as the main book, Geraldine will also make a shorter version known as A Pocket Book Of Rights in Spring 2022, which they hope will act as a 'passport' to young people about their rights.

Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo starred in the first trailer for Come Away, which was released on Friday.The sweet family flick saw the actress, 45, and Selma star, 44, take on the roles of doting parents Rose and Jack, who share brother and sister Peter and Alice.Their son (Jordan A. Nash) and daughter (Keira Chansa) have incredible imaginations which sees them become Peter Pan and Alice In Wonderland, take those blighting their parents lives and make them iconic characters from both classics.Opening with Rose talking to Alice, she tells her daughter: 'Every child has a fairy born just for them, Tinker's bell was born for you.' As Alice and her brother are seen playing in the woods, including a rendition of the Lost Boys, Jack is heard saying: 'She's in a hurry to grow up, he dreams of exploring new lands.' Following a day of adventuring, Rose quips: 'Who are these dirty vagabonds, and what have they done with my children?' Unperturbed, Peter is seen playing in the woods once more where he declares: 'I am Pan, god of the woodlands, and these are my woodlands.' Peter Pan's iconic nemesis Captain James Hook takes the form of the loan shark (played by David Gyasi) demanding Jack pay his debts in the real world, even going so far as to throw a brick through his window. The pirate and Peter come face-to-face on his ship, with the help of his very own Lost Boys, at the same time as Jack tries to get more time before the menacing James comes to collect.In the real world, Jack is seen telling his son: 'Peter, don't let life drag you down, you just keep floating above it.' Meanwhile, Alice has to deal with her own enemy, as Anna Chancellor's Eleanor Morrow demands to take her in and 'make a lady of you yet'. Transforming into the Queen Of Hearts, Eleanor is seen tormenting Alice in both the real world and Wonderland.That's not the only character Alice and Peter come across during their travels while trying to find a way to help their father, as they also meet the Hatter (Clarke Peters) before being found by Captain James.Ending on a sweet note, Peter is seen telling Alice: 'It's not time to grow up Alice, it never is. You'll see.'
