Mission

Black Lives Matter Phoenix Metro is a Black, Queer, and Femme led organization, that centers Black people who are the most impacted and marginalized because we believe ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER. We build solidarities with other colonized folks in the Global South to end imperial rule.

We work towards Black Liberation by practicing abolition to seek true freedom of mind, body and community.
​
We do this through our Two Wings of Work where we study decoloniality, provide community members with support and resources, foster community engagement, write blueprints for a new world, cultivate healing, and create art.

​Vision

We imagine a world where our healing and Black joy is centered, our reparations and rest are had and Western imperialism no longer dominates our daily lives. We envision a world that achieves Black liberation through global transformation. The vision of Black liberation is predicated on the abolition of the carceral state, racial capitalism, colonialism, climate change, cis-heteropatriarchy and anti-Black violence.
