Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi establish #BlackLivesMatter to publicize the disproportionate killings of United states subject/enemy/citizens of African heritage by statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) among BLM’s platform planks are:
- End the war on black communities
- End the war on black youth
- End the war on black women
- End the war on black trans, queer, gender nonconforming and intersex people
- End the war on black health and black disabled people
- End the war on black migrants
- End to all immigration detention
- End the death penalty
- End the war on drugs
- End the surveillance on black communities
- End to pretrial detention and money bail
- The demilitarization of law enforcement
- End the use of past criminal history
NOTE: Unfortunately, the platform also calls for reparations for slavery and other past racial discrimination.
