Policy - Black Lives Matter Grassroots

NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS

End Qualified Immunity

End Qualified immunity

BLM Grassroots is calling for the end to qualified immunity, the unjust legal doctrine that shields police from accountability when they kill and harm people.

End Police Associations

End Police Associations

Unions are vital. They ensure fair wages and collective bargaining for millions of people. Unions build solidarity among working class people. Unions move us forward into a future grounded in equity and justice. We are 100% for unions. Police associations are not real unions.

Black August

BLACK AUGUST

Black August commemorates the heroes of our ongoing struggle. Named in honor of figures like George Jackson, who ignited revolutionary change from within prison walls, Black August calls us to remember the fallen, demand the release of political prisoners, and condemn the conditions within U.S. prisons.

Black Women Are Divine

Black Women Are Divine (BWAD)

Black Women Are Divine (BWAD) is a national call to Black women across the world to reclaim their divinity in the names of #BreonnaTaylor, #SandraBland, #WakieshaWilson and all Black women whose lives were stolen by state-sanctioned violence.

Black Xmas

BLACK XMAS

For the last eight years, Black Lives Matter has been challenging people to “dream of a Black Xmas,” to intentionally use our resources to: #BuildBlack (invest in Black-led, Black-serving organizations), #BuyBlack (spend exclusively with Black-owned businesses from Black Friday through New Year), and #BankBlack (move our money from white corporate banks to Black-owned ones).

The BOOKS SAVE LIVES ACT

BOOKS SAVE LIVES ACT

The Books Save Lives Act would counteract the rise in book bans and help ensure an inclusive learning environment for all students.

The Breathe Act

The Breathe Act

The Breathe Act establishes a standard for transformative policy that reduces the investment in and normalization of a carceral system as justice.

Wakiesha's Law

Wakiesha's Law

Wakiesha's Law is named after Wakiesha Wilson, a 37-year-old Black mama who died while in custody. This bill is a common-sense measure that requires basic human decency. If a person dies, is seriously injured or becomes seriously ill, in-custody (in prison/jail/police custody), someone from the facility must notify the family within 24 hours.

FREE BRITTANY MARTIN

FREE BRITTANY MARTIN

Brittany and her family have suffered enough. In a nation that prides itself on freedom of speech, Ms. Martin never should have been arrested or imprisoned in the first place. Brittany’s family, the community, and the nation are calling for the full pardon and immediate release of Brittany Martin.

BLM Grassroots Response to GNF Court Ruling

BLMGr Response to GNF Court Ruling

Near the eve of the tenth anniversary of Black Lives Matter, the court has ruled against the will of the those who birthed, built, and fuel the movement and in favor of the (BLM) Global Network Foundation, which is in the hands of highly paid consultants, who have never been on the frontlines.
