The Black Bloc

The Black Bloc is a tactic used by some protesters where individuals wear black clothing and masks to maintain anonymity and demonstrate solidarity. This uniform appearance helps protect identities from law enforcement and media, and allows participants to act collectively. The Black Bloc is often associated with demonstrations addressing social, political, or economic issues, and participants may engage in various forms of protest, ranging from peaceful to confrontational. The approach emphasizes unity and anonymity, enabling protesters to focus on their message while reducing individual risk.
