Unity in Racial Justice
The union of BLM Seacoast, BLM Manchester, and BLM Nashua in September 2023 heralded a historic milestone in the pursuit of equity and racial justice throughout New Hampshire.
This union harmonized a mosaic of voices, experiences, and viewpoints, amplifying the notion that the quest for racial justice transcends conventional borders.
By synergizing their unique strengths, these organizations within the Black Lives Matter Movement forged a more formidable and cohesive entity, poised to tackle the urgent challenges confronting Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities across New Hampshire.
Our Mission
At BLM NH, our mission is clear: to dismantle anti-Blackness, eradicate systemic racism, champion racial equality, combat racial injustices, put an end to police brutality, and advocate for justice for all Black lives in New Hampshire.
Our unwavering commitment lies in nurturing dialogues around racial equity, passionately advocating for change, and fostering collaborative efforts with our communities, local governments, and organizations to forge a just and equitable future.
We achieve this by cultivating conversations centered on racial equity, relentless advocacy, and the celebration of Black excellence.
