Fighting for Black Lives in our Neighborhood (FBLN) is a grassroots organization of people in the Melrose, MA area. We were founded in June 2020 in response to the murder of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter uprisings world wide. FBLN works to hold our public officials, police, and community accountable on racial justice. We work collaboratively with other local groups that support our mission.
We are working to dismantle white supremacy in ourselves, our organization, and our community.
We are composed of people passionate about many issues. Not every member engages with every project,
but we support each other in the work we take on.
We view this group as a brave space to explore complicated issues.
We look to the work of established activist organizations and people with lived experience to guide our work.
