Chapters of Black Lives Matter represent the concerns of people of color in their fight against systemic racism. The pandemic has put them at high risk due to many factors that are magnified by racist policies. BLM groups are community organizers and they shine light on the problems and also help their communities by finding and connecting them with aid they need. Examples of help include taking care of utility bills, providing groceries, funds for school supplies, linking with local mutual aid. It’s no surprise that some people don’t want to hear their message and can be disruptive and threatening as they raise voices.
