*BLM is a decentralized movement. We don’t always know when/where or who is planning protests. If a protest is not posted on any of our social media or web pages, we are not hosting it and are not affiliated with it. All our events will be posted to our pages.
Who We Are
Black Lives Matter Phoenix Metro is an inclusive, abolitionist collective of community members on occupied Akimel O'odham and Pee Posh territory, also known as Phoenix, Arizona. We challenge police brutality and value all Black lives: queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. We center those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements, and we rise in solidarity with all oppressed people.
We are not associated with “All Black Lives Matter Arizona.”
Our focus is not only dismantling white supremacy and abolishing police/prisons, but also helping our community heal from generations of trauma and grow stronger.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
