#BlackLivesMatter
Behind the Scenes of a 21st Movement with Alicia Gazra

Alicia Garza Join us March 5th for a discussion with Alicia Garza, co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter, to learn lessons from her experience using messaging, technology and social media to organize a 21st century movement that confronts racism and the murders of unarmed black men and children. This discussion will highlight how the #BlackLivesMatter movement has been effective in using technology to build a movement. Organizations can learn how they connected communities in a struggle for justice and sparked an international dialogue on racism and racial healing in America.

Alicia Garza is the Special Projects Director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She has been the recipient of multiple awards for her organizing work in Black and Latino communities, receiving the Local Hero award from the San Francisco Bay Guardian and the Jeanne Gauna Communicate Justice award from the Center for Media Justice in 2008. She has twice been honored by the Harvey Milk Democratic Club with the Bayard Rustin Community Activist award for her work fighting gentrification and environmental racism in San Francisco's largest remaining Black community. In 2013, Alicia co-founded #BlackLivesMatter, an online platform developed after the murder of Trayvon Martin, designed to connect people interested in learning more about and fighting back against anti-Black racism.
