Black Lives Matter

From the "About" page of the website:
"#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives."

The Star Tribune will livestream the entire Derek Chauvin trial. The former Minneapolis police officer is on trial for the May 25 killing of George Floyd. You can also watch the archived video from previous days in the trial.
