Black Lives Matter started as a hashtag on social media in 2013 in response the the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. Since then it’s grown to be a global network with branches in cities across the country.
Today, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation announced a five-year, multi-million dollar grant to Love Not Blood Campaign. The organization has an ongoing campaign called Families United 4 Justice Network, which is a collective of 320 families from across the country whose loved ones were killed by the police.
Patrisse Cullors, Co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Melina Abdullah, Co-founder of Black Lives Matter, LA and Cephus “Uncle Bobby” Johnson, Co-Founder, of Love Not Blood Campaign spoke with Roland Martin about the five-year, multi-million dollar grant during Thursday’s edition of #RMU.
