Black Lives Matter Day
February 26, 2023 All day
February 26th is Black Lives Matter Day!
The Black Lives Matter movement has gained significant attention and momentum in recent years in response to systemic racism and police brutality against Black people.
The movement was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer and has since grown into a global network with chapters in various cities around the world.
Black Lives Matter seeks to raise awareness about and address issues of racial inequality and injustice, particularly within the criminal justice system. The movement advocates for reforms to policing practices, criminal justice policies, and other areas that disproportionately affect Black people.
On this day, “Black Lives Matter Day,” the movement is typically commemorated through various events and protests throughout the year, often in response to incidents of police violence or other forms of racial injustice.
These events may include demonstrations, marches, and rallies, as well as educational events and workshops aimed at raising awareness and promoting systemic change.
