Boilerpipe Text	“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” – Assata Shakur We envision a future fully divested from police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms, a future which invests in justice, joy, and culture. Engage With Us 250 Years These profound words from Frederick Douglass’s speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” echo just as powerfully today as when he first spoke them in 1852. They reflect the complicated reality Black people continue to face each Independence Day. We’re supposed to celebrate freedom on days when we aren’t free. Act Now Juneteenth on the Pier Ebony Beach Club has partnered with Black Lives Matter and invites you to the Santa Monica Pier for a Juneteenth celebration unlike any that California has ever seen. We’re bringing sun, surf, and soul to the pier in a full-day experience honoring Black joy, freedom, and community. From morning surf lessons to a highly anticipated Act Now take Action A world where Black lives are no longer systematically targeted by police, prisons, and all forms of state punishment. Our Impact So Far $90 Million raised in 2020 OVER $35M in grants given to more than 70 organizations—23 of which are led by LGBTQ+ folks; and money given directly to black folks 23% of assets while the industry average for grant-giving foundations is 5-8%, BLM Foundation committed 23% of total assets in 2020 Official Black Lives Matter Adornment Explore our Black Lives Matter Global Foundation store.
