Black Lives Matter

The Black Lives Matter is a campaign for justice! And while it began in America, the issue of racism has resonated throughout the world including here in Aotearoa. There are seas of information about the movement online – so much that it’s easy to get lost. As a result, we have put together a list of resources about the campaign and the issue. This is not an exhaustive list but we have tried to ensure that the sources are trusted, learned and influenced by people and communities who have lived experience of the struggle of being Black and being in America.
