‘Black Lives Matter Awareness’ Launches Ribbon Campaign for #BlackLivesMatter

black lives matter ribbon*Los Angeles, CA – Black Lives Matter Awareness (BLMA) has partnered with #BlackLivesMatter to create an awareness ribbon to be the visual representation of the movement. Similar to the awareness campaigns utilized by National Breast Cancer Foundation and HIV/AIDS ribbons and wristband of the LIVESTRONG Foundation, BLMA was created to bring awareness and symbolize a crisis. It is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.

The purpose is to serve as a symbol to solidarity, awareness and protest against the incessant police brutality and senseless black murders that have historically and, most recently, increasingly been occurring across our nation. The colors of the ribbon are red and black; red representing the innocent blood that has been shed in the Black communities, black for the innumerable Blacks, whose lives have been lost due to excessive use of force by police.

The mission of BLMA is to provide a financial system that provides support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement, families of victims with head of household replacement income. BLMA will also support organizations committed to positively impact the Black Community through donations to Black Student Fund, Tech Impact Initiative of Hands Up United, Bereavement Fund/Fellowship of Reconciliation, Artists as Tutors, and Second Baptist Church Los Angeles.

Wearing this ribbon is intended to show others that Black lives are valuable and that violence against Black people will no longer be accepted, in particular from those paid to protect our communities.

The BLMA ribbon can be purchased through the official website www.blmribbon.com or www.blacklivesmatterribbon.com.

About Black Lives Matter Awareness: Black Lives Matter Awareness (BLMA) was formed as a response to recent events of police brutality towards Blacks across the country. In order to symbolize the struggle, Black Lives Matter Awareness created an awareness ribbon and bracelet.
