Welcome to the home site for Data Journalists for #BlackLivesMatter

Below you will find a database of statistics. Start with the READ ME tab, and then use the links in the grey bar at the bottom to navigate through the other pages.

Each statistic has been peer reviewed before adding to make sure it is from a reputable source, and has been accurately written to give full context.

We’ve also put together a handy guide for how to read and communicate data. Find it here.

This is a crowdsourced initiative, and we depend on YOU to help fill this database. If you are a data analyst, journalist, community organiser, or general enthusiast and would like to contribute a statistic to the database it's easy! Just fill out this form:
