Black Lives Matter Georgia was founded in 2020 during one of the most defining moments of our generation. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide reckoning following the murder of George Floyd, our communities were grieving, isolated, and searching for unity, strength, and a voice.
We rose from that moment with a clear purpose: to build a movement that ensures every Black person in Georgia is heard, protected, supported, and empowered. What began as a grassroots response to injustice has grown into a trusted nonprofit organization committed to racial equity, community empowerment, advocacy, and direct support.
Today, we continue that work — standing with families, fighting for justice, and investing in a future where every voice matters and every life is valued.
We are committed to dismantling systemic racism and creating lasting change through community empowerment, policy reform, and grassroots organizing across the nation.
Building strong, organized communities that can advocate for their own interests and create lasting change.
Working to change laws and policies that perpetuate racial inequality and injustice in our country.
Providing resources, education, and support to individuals and families affected by racial injustice.
Real stories from real people making a difference in their communities across the nation.
From student activist to community organizer, Maya’s courage sparked reform and inspired youth-led justice across Atlanta.
Maya began organizing in college, tired of watching her peers face injustice in silence. Through mentorship and community alliances, she built a coalition that pushed for transparency, accountability, and better training within local policing. Today, Maya mentors others to lead — reminding them that movements grow through love, persistence, and truth.
A civil rights veteran guiding the next generation through the lessons of struggle, unity, and purpose.
Elder James marched for freedom in the 1960s — now, he teaches youth the power of organizing without fear. His community center hosts free civic education workshops, teaching history not as the past but as a living reminder: progress requires sacrifice, faith, and community rooted in love.
A neighborhood’s unity turned hardship into hope through food drives, mentorship, and shared care.
When the pandemic hit, neighbors who barely spoke began organizing food drives and after-school care. What started as survival became solidarity — a model of what’s possible when people see each other not as strangers, but as family. Together, they built a space where everyone belonged, and no one was left behind.
