Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a social movement that advocates for racial equality and justice, particularly in response to police violence against Black individuals in the United States and around the world. It seeks to highlight the systemic racism and discrimination that Black communities face, aiming to raise awareness and promote change in laws and societal attitudes. The movement gained significant attention after high-profile incidents of violence against Black individuals, calling for accountability and reform in policing, as well as broader social and economic equity. BLM emphasizes that all lives cannot matter until Black lives matter equally.
