In a time where there is mounting social change in society, it is important to stay well informed and aware of not only current situations but also how to help and be active in one's community. Police brutality against the Black community is a present issue that is being fought for in the names of many Black lives who have been lost to police violence, or to those who have been unfairly biased against in the justice system. Protests and government action are not the only things that one can be doing to remedy this, educating ourselves is also an important part of being an activist. This page will be dedicated to providing information about Black Lives Matter, and effectively communicating information
