John, we’re less than a week away from Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20th. We can’t believe it either…
We know you may be feeling a mix of emotions—it’s still a lot to sort through.
But as we look towards the future these are our guiding principles:
If we’re serious about achieving liberation and creating space for true accountability and healing, we must move beyond endless division.
We must go beyond social media hot takes, knee-jerk reactions, and most importantly, the system itself. We must build new systems, new paradigms, and new ways of relating to each other to get out of our current mess.
Fighting harmful policies is crucial, but so is engaging in honest, transformative, and courageous conversations that bring people together and bridge racial, political, and other divides.
Everything is possible when we are in a community with each other.
Community is where burdens find shoulders, and dreams rise on the wings of many.
It is the soil where justice grows, the fire that kindles courage, the light that guides us forward.
Thank you for being with us. 🖤
The year ahead won’t be easy, but we’ve been through a Trump presidency before. Will you donate $5 or more to fuel our fight for Black liberation?
In solidarity,
Black Lives Matter
Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.
As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.
A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
