New Jersey Black Lives Matter Movement

Description: The murder of George Floyd has brought more attention to the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States and around the world. While most of the focus has been ending police violence, the movement encompasses much more and has a strong focus on mutual aid.  Join us for a presentation from New Jersey Black Lives Matter to learn about how the movement has evolved from the Black Panthers and the work that is happening throughout New Jersey, the United States, and internationally.
