Happy Father’s Day, John!
Today, as we celebrate Father’s Day, we lift up the power, strength, and resilience of Black fathers everywhere. Whether related by blood or choice, fathers lift so many of us up.
Black fatherhood has always been foundational: filled with love, strength, guidance, and unwavering presence. Yet too often, our society diminishes or erases the narratives of Black fathers who tirelessly nurture their families and communities.
Healthy Black fatherhood is far too absent from popular culture, TV, movies, and literature.
Oftentimes we associate community care with femininity but it can come in many different forms. We know Black fathers showing care to their families, and loved ones IS community care.
Part of Black liberation is uncovering our community’s story and truth outside of the lens of white supremacy and colonialism. That means seeing Black fatherhood as the pillar of strength and love when it is far too often dismissed.
On this Father’s Day, we celebrate all the ways Black fathers build, inspire, lead, and love. Your stories deserve recognition, your presence deserves visibility, and your impact deserves celebration.
We see you. We honor you. Today, and every day.
With love,
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?
