Have you heard of Black August, John?

John, Black August honors Black freedom fighters and organizers from the past and present -- many of whom were killed by the state, imprisoned for defending Black lives, or are increasingly surveilled as they shine a light on prison conditions. When commemorating Blac…

Introducing Black Lives Matter Day!

In the Summer of 2013, the acquittal of George Zimmerman after his murder of 17-year old, unarmed, Trayvon Martin, reignited the global movement for racial justice. Then and now, Black children, women, men, and gender non-conforming people are widely perceived as threats …
