M4BL: A Primer on #BlackLivesMatter (and why everyone should care)

Description

The Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), like the Civil Rights Movement, has revealed the core values and ideals of the U.S. Anti-Black police violence is a symptom of a larger issue within American history. This session will use M4BL to offer historical context and tools for application in understanding why #BlackLivesMatter is important to all communities. Participants will leave this session feeling equipped to engage in productive, action-oriented discourse and advocacy in their local communities.
