In 2014, Black Lives Matter emerged as a global phenomenon when the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter turned into a rallying cry for a new generation of civil rights activists and organisers. A movement swept across the United States, affirming Black humanity in the face of relentless police brutality, mass incarceration and racial disparity.
Built and sustained by many, the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLM) has played a vital role in growing the Movement for Black Lives, and its loud calls for justice, dignity and equality have resonated around the world.
Not a moment, but a movement
Since creating the social media hashtag #BlackLivesMatter in 2012, BLM’s Co-Founders, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi steadily and strategically built the scaffolding of a nationwide on-the-ground political network that now has 39 chapters worldwide.
Encouraging a broader and deeper conversation about what justice for Black people looks like — and how people can join forces to achieve it — the Black Lives Matter Network nurtures an inclusive, decentralised and leaderful movement from the bottom-up. The Founders want the faces of this movement to reflect the change they strive towards in their own communities, which is that all Black lives matter, regardless of their gender, class, sexual orientation, or age...
Black humanity...
Black Humanity....
“White” humanity... RACISS
> Black Lives Matter wins Sydney Peace Prize <
I’ll bet this will make the Antifa folks mad. They were probably expecting to win. Oh, well. There’s always next year.
So did other terrorists, such as Arafat.
“Peace prizes” awarded by leftists are really war prizes.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength
Sidney? Blumenthal? When did he start giving awards?
Masks are the uniform of ISIS.....masks are illegal for protesters in the USA.
The Sydney Peace Prize rates right up there with the prizes you find in Cracker Jacks.
Burning down cities and killing cops are the liberal definitions of Peace.
The “yeah for dead cops” award.
“the Black Lives Matter Network nurtures an inclusive, decentralised and leaderful movement from the bottom-up.”
Weren’t these the ‘hoodrats that told white fellow travelers to stop stealing their thunder?
“Not a joke.”
Yes it is.
rwood
How pathetic.
Sydney Pollack?
Sydney Poitier?
Sydney Vicious???
Again the world is upside down and inside out when a terrorist organization wins a so-called “Peace Prize”.
These leftists are beyond insane; they are criminally insane.
Almost as funny as Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yeah, and bammy won the “Nobel peace prize” for being Black.
I went up to the website - this is sponsored by the city of Sidney and the university of Sidney. They art looking for contributions. Let’s all get out our credit cards and send them one cent. Methinks the administrative costs and fees on such a transaction would be quite a bit more one cent.
Yeah and the worthless b.h.obammy won a nobel peace prize cause he is a negro.,
