Not Just This Month, But Every Month!

Strategy for Black Lives has collaborated with other NYC-based organizations to provide a month of strategic action. By utilizing their combined resources, and with the assistance of community mobilization, they aim to remove positions of power the most corrupt, those who have wielded their authority to harm Black lives.

Strategy for Black Lives will also share Black educational content in order to inform communities of Black excellence and highlight our numerous contributions to a society that often fails to acknowledge them.

Check out these posts:
From East Brooklyn Mutual Aid: learn how Mother Gaston Boulevard got its name!
From Strategy for Black Lives: learn about Cicely Tyson’s determination to “use my career as a platform”

But don’t stop here…THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!
Complacency is NOT an option. Let us use this Black History Month to ELEVATE BLACK VOICES, EMPOWER BLACK COMMUNITIES, and DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY
