Pamela, We've all had a little time now to process that Donald Trump is going to be our next President. We know that Black people, Indigenous people, immigrants, and poor and lower-class people—all of our most vulnerable communities—will be impacted hardest by the majority of Trump's initiatives, as detailed throughout the campaign trail. If you're already familiar with our mission and work, add your name now to protect the communities most at risk during a Trump presidency. Or, read on to learn more. The majority of American voters chose this path, fully aware of Trump's record, policies, racism, sexism, and anti-Blackness. It directly reflects where more than half of this country stands and what they are willing to accept and support. During this time, we must be realistic, strategic, and overwhelmingly prepared about what we are going up against. While we have lived under Trump's presidency before, we expect this time to be much worse for various reasons. In part, this is due to Trump's eroding of our rights with no checks and balances. While this feels like a major defeat and a setback with no sign of recovery, we must not give it that much power. This is certainly a loss, but not one that deems our fight over, or our movement less powerful. We must keep hope alive. WE WILL build a world where Black folks don't just matter—they thrive. If you'd like to support our movement, please add your name to stand with us to protect our most vulnerable communities. We're not stopping. The work continues more urgently than ever before. ADD YOUR NAME Our movement for Black liberation will always continue no matter who is the President. We have never, and will never, bend to the will of political parties. Our objective will not waver: Black liberation and eradicating white supremacy. The fight for the abolition of the prison-industrial complex, economic power for Black people, true community safety, reparations, ending qualified immunity, Black maternal health, and environmental justice continues, and we're going to continue organizing harder than ever. In solidarity, Black Lives Matter |
