Support Black Lives Matter & Social Justice

In support of the fight against racism and inequity — in our country and in our industry — we are highlighting a few organizations dedicated to supporting community empowerment, mental health, and the creation of art in Black communities. We encourage you to join us in supporting their efforts.

#BlackLivesMatter

#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
