BLM - Mission Statement

[Adonia]

1. 1. How Black poverty and genocide is state violence.
   2. How 2.8 million Black people are locked in cages in this country is state violence.
   3. How Black women bearing the burden of a relentless assault on our children and our families is state violence.
   4. How Black queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence.
   5. How 500,000 Black people in the US are undocumented immigrants and relegated to the shadows.
   6. How Black girls are used as negotiating chips during times of conflict and war.
   7. How Black folks living with disabilities and different abilities bear the burden of state sponsored Darwinian experiments that attempt to squeeze us into boxes of normality defined by white supremacy, and that is state violence.

Do you have a source for this? I have searched for this and could not find it.

I did find this... Mission & Guiding Principles

I am not a fan of the group... but would like to see the source...

I found this... and this confirms my worries...

I also found this from the site Salon... A Bias check shows they are left leaning...

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

"And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
To the ground
Help us raze, raze the prisons
To the ground"

-- Joan Baez, "Prison Trilogy" (1972)
