An island united

Born from protest, united in solidarity, resolute for justice.

 

We are Black Lives Matter MV.

We are a diverse and powerful group that unites in both our belief in the equality of all people and our commitment to achieve racial justice in America. Our mission is to eradicate white supremacy and patriarchy, to intervene in violence inflicted on Black and historically marginalized communities by the state and vigilantes and to return the power to the people.

We acknowledge Martha’s Vineyard (Noepe) is Wampanoag (Wôpanâak) land.
