Sociology & Criminology for a Changing World
A social movement against systemic racism and police violence.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a global activist movement that began in 2013, demanding an end to systemic racism, police brutality, and racial inequality. BLM gained prominence following high-profile killings of Black people by police, mobilizing protests and policy debates on justice reform. It also critiques broader systems of racial capitalism and surveillance.
