I fully support the Black Lives Matter movement. I believe it is an incredibly necessary and important push towards justice, equality, and accountability for police brutality and systemic racism against Black people in America. Furthermore, I appreciate how this movement utilizes a variety of tactics to combat oppression-such as peaceful protests, use of social media, direct action & resistance – rather than violent means. Therefore, I stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and hope that it continues to help bring more attention to these issues so we can all work together towards change.

I feel that the BLM movement is an important step forward in fighting for racial justice, equality, and dignity. The need to confront systemic racism and advocate for rights and protection from state violence is critical, and the BLM movement has helped bring this issues to light. Furthermore, it has enabled intersectional conversations around black liberation, women’s liberation, environmental justice and more - topics that were not discussed enough prior to its emergence in 2014. I recognize that more needs to be done as well as a society towards this end though; the movement cannot be considered a success until tangible changes have taken place regarding structural reform across all levels of society. But I am encouraged by what we have seen so far; hopefulness amidst discouragement prevails! #BLM #blacklivesmatter #justice
