How Black poverty and genocide is state violence.

How 2.8 million Black people are locked in cages in this country is state violence.

How Black women bearing the burden of a relentless assault on our children and our families is state violence.

How Black queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence.

How 500,000 Black people in the US are undocumented immigrants and relegated to the shadows.

How Black girls are used as negotiating chips during times of conflict and war.

How Black folks living with disabilities and different abilities bear the burden of state sponsored Darwinian experiments that attempt to squeeze us into boxes of normality defined by white supremacy, and that is state violence.

Coming from a diverse background, White Spanish, Norwegian, Jamaican and Vincentian (St.Vincent). I have grown to be educated about my culture on both sides. Although mixed, I class my self as a black woman. Over the years I have become more conscious about my inner self, who I am and how other see me. And I see that is a black woman. The recent increase in innocent black men being murdered has strongly effected my faith in the world and its justice system. I am a mother of two, one son and one daughter. And I am scared and worried for the future of my children, especially my son.

The Black Lives Matter movement to me is a way to hear our cry, a fight from anti-black racism. We know all lives matter but at this particular moment the ones of our black women and men are being treated different from those of other races. Also a wake up call to black people to start supporting each other for example businesses.  The Human rights that relate to my song is Right to a fair trial and Right to Equality.

"Black Lives Matter is a chapter-based national organisation working for the validity of Black life. We are working to (re)build the Black liberation movement. This is Not a Moment, but a Movement."

#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime, and dead 17-year old Trayvon was posthumously placed on trial for his own murder. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our dehumanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.

The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.
