John,
Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, DC is being destroyed.
The beginning of the end, the destruction zone of BLM plaza.
It lasted less than 5 years before they came in with jackhammers and began to destroy the plaza that meant so much. It was so much more than just words on a road.
It was a commemoration of the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd.
It was a symbol of the progress we have made for an equitable country for all.
It was a reminder that we will not stand down from hate.
This is so much more than just about the erasure of our radical art. This is an erasure of Black history.
Having BLM Plaza torn apart is a slap in the face. We worked hard to get to where we are, and this plaza represented that.
This is how petty tyrants operate. They come for the culture and the history. They tear down past leaders and try to erase our advocacy and our voices from the zeitgeist.
We’re not backing down and we hope you won’t either. No matter what the Trump administration does, we’re not stopping until we achieve Black liberation.
We need an outpouring of support to keep our work going as things continue to get more difficult. Will you chip in today to protect Black folks in D.C. and beyond?
Together, we’ll build new plazas, unveil new monuments to liberation, and create real pathways to move past this moment and towards a future where Black people can thrive.
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?
