Blackness is global, and our commitment to liberation knows no borders.
This past month, Black Lives Matter traveled to Ghana, reconnecting with our global community and deepening our commitment to Black flourishing across the globe. Alongside incredible partners, we commissioned three boreholes and built essential water wells for communities in dire need.
Clean water is essential, yet countless Black communities worldwide still lack access. This scarcity represents another heavy burden of systemic inequality that our communities face across the diaspora.
Amid these challenges, we witness the powerful resilience within our communities as we uplift and support each other through scarcity and hardship.
Our vision for Black liberation extends beyond mere survival, it’s about creating conditions that enable Black communities everywhere to thrive with dignity, abundance, and joy.
The path towards that future is by building bridges. Going back to the motherland, connecting with the communities in Africa, walking in the footsteps of our ancestors as we look to the future. That’s what the new Black Lives Matter is all about. This movement is very much alive and unstoppable.
This wasn’t just a trip. It was a return, a reconnection, a reawakening. It reminded us that Black liberation is a global struggle. Whether in Los Angeles or Accra, our destinies are intertwined, our struggles shared, and our solutions collective.
Clean water is not charity, it’s justice. And justice is what drives us every single day.
From water wells to human rights, our fight continues as long as Black people anywhere are suffering. We aren’t stopping until we achieve Black liberation, and that means our work continues in Africa, America, and across the diaspora.
Thank you for rising with us in this global fight.
