John,
In case you haven’t seen it yet, this clip of Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Julia Roberts on the After the Hunt press tour is going viral, and not for a good reason.
Watch the clip here.
*Looks around in collective Black confusion*
Skipping Black voices when you talk about our movement? That’s not an accident. That’s a choice.
When Black women speak truth, too often people look away, dismiss, or erase. Let us be clear: it’s intentional, and it’s unacceptable.
That’s why we uplift and celebrate voices like Queen Ayo’s. She didn’t wait for permission. She didn’t shrink herself to fit into a mainstream narrative that was never made for us. She showed up bold, unbothered, and unapologetic, and that is how liberation is built.
The truth is, the mainstream is burnt out, racist, and irrelevant to our future. It cannot define us. We define ourselves. We know our power, our brilliance, and our worth.
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?

Black Lives Matter imagines a world where Black people across the diaspora thrive, experience joy, and are not defined by their struggles.
In pursuing liberation, we envision a future fully divested from police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms and which invests in justice, joy, and culture. Email is the most important way we keep in touch with our supporters. But we know there's a lot going on.
