The family of #KeenanAnderson continues to grieve and fight after their loved one was murdered after LAPD tasered him 6 times in about 40 seconds. Keenan was seeking help after an auto accident and it ended in his death. This is unacceptable. Keenan was a beloved father, teacher, mentor, brother, cousin, and fiancé. Let’s honor his life with tangible action- let us not only say his name, but move our feet. This is one small, quick action that is so incredibly important. Sign the petition to support the demands of his family and BLMLA, go to tinyurl.com/SignForKeenan. In the wake of this tragedy, this is the very least that can be done and we will work to ensure it. #BlackLivesMatter

Rather than submitting to an unparalleled evil that murders mothers in their own vehicles, explodes chemical weapons upon infants, kidnaps and imprisons preschoolers, brutalizes children, separates families, and terrorizes communities, grassroots organizers in the Twin Cities are putting their own bodies, freedom and livelihood on the line to secure community.

On New Year’s Eve, as the world thirsted for celebration, Black father, son, neighbor, and community member, #KeithPorter stepped outside his front door to celebrate. Like many around the nation, he fired his gun in the air to celebrate the coming of 2026. An ICE agent who lived in the same complex moved as if Keith was no more than a target in a game. He went inside his own unit, put on his tactical gear, grabbed his ICE-issued firearm, stepped back outside, and shot this Black man dead in front of his own home.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots Statement on the U.S. Invasion of Venezuela
Black Lives Matter Grassroots vehemently condemns the United States’ military strikes on Venezuela, the unlawful kidnapping of President Nicholás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and the threats against Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and the Venezuelan people. These actions have brought death and injury to civilians, desecrated the land and seas, and violated the nation’s sovereignty. Not only are these actions illegal according to international law and the United States Constitution, we know these to be war crimes and crimes against humanity.
