Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a civil rights movement founded in 2013 by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. It seeks to address systemic racism, violence, and discrimination against Black communities. Over the years, BLM has expanded its reach and now has a global presence with many chapters worldwide. Their activism has sparked essential conversations on racial justice and has mobilized millions to participate in protests and advocacy.
