Black Lives Matter 5280

Black Lives Matter 5280 needs your help to get up & running! As you know, the movement costs money. We are asking for assistance in raising the necessary funds that arise so quickly when embarking on a movement such as this. Funds requested will be used for website development, t-shirts, signage and other collateral, and most importantly, to fund programs and activities that pour love into our communities while building public awareness. This is a major undertaking, and whether you can offer $1 or $100, we are incredibly thankful for your support.  

Mission Statement:
Working with residents and organizations in Denver, Black Lives Matter 5280 assists in building more loving and united Black communities while eliminating anti-Black violence and racism. To expose, address and eradicate structures and systems of oppression in Denver, BLM5280 uses a holistic racial justice approach that includes strengthening individual and community health and wellness, relationship-building, educational programming , and direct actions. This chapter is part of a national movement, aligned in Black love, power, and liberation in order to embody the declaration that Black Lives Matter- regardless of gender identity, gender expression, sexual identity, immigration location or status, gang affiliation, profession, ability, economic status, and religious beliefs or disbelief. Also in keeping with the national movement, BLM5280 centers and celebrates the lives and leadership of Black women and girls, aligning all Black people in love, power, and liberation. Our work is to cultivate communities of abundant joy where all Black people are emboldened and empowered to lead, love, heal, and thrive.
