Blackness is global, John. We know this seems like common-sense, but too many times it’s easy to forget this and get caught up in our own bubbles.
This Black Futures Month we’re widening our lens, with intention, to the greater diaspora. Blackness transcends country or language.
We want to know:
How does your Blackness thrive where you are, and what does being part of a global Black future mean to you?
Together we’re going to visualize a map of just how far this movement truly reaches. A lot of people think that Black Lives Matter is an American phenomenon. That’s completely erasing the global reach of our vision and the ancestors whose shoulders we stand on. This goes far beyond one policy, one presidency, or one country.
Black people across the globe are striving for Black liberation every day and this month we’re honoring the stories, leaders, and moments that have spread throughout the Black diaspora.
The map we’re creating together will be a literal visual representation of our global solidarity and that’s really cool! Please, take a second to be a part of our visual map for Black Futures Month by submitting your story now!
Onwards,
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?
