Learn about BLM MHK with our Board of Justice & Outreach

8/2/2020

 

BLM MHK mission & focus


The Justice and Witness Board is collaborating with Black Lives Movement (BLM MHK) in Manhattan. BLM MHK is currently focusing on voter registration and collaborating with community organizations and leaders to gather allies. “One of the biggest issues that we would like to tackle is to make sure people are heard and acknowledged, and that we have allies who are aware of certain issues that are affecting marginalized communities, and getting people mobilized to help” Teresa Parks, BLM MHK Co-founder.

We invite you to join our very own Jennifer Edwards to meet Teresa Parks & Jaynae Cole, co-founders of BLM MHK, and learn more about their cause.

BLM MHK name & logo

Black Lives Movement, Manhattan (BLM MHK) is not affiliated with Black Lives Matter, even though they support the same issues. BLM MHK is committed to organizing the community in a peaceful movement to fight injustice.  Join our very own Jennifer Edwards to meet Teresa Parks & Jaynae Cole, co-founders of BLM MHK, and learn more about this local cause, their name, and logo.

“The clenched fist is a symbol of support and expression of your strength and unity” Jaynae Cole, BLM MHK Co-founder.

The Justice and Witness Board invites you to join us to collaborate with BLM MHK to “put the faith and the function together” Teresa Parks, to build a more just community.
