All Black Lives Matter Lawn Sign Campaign Overview

​

​

Protests and riots are shaking the nation following the death of George Floyd.  While awareness of police brutality and racism have resurfaced in the public arena due to video footage and media coverage, the dehumanization of black lives is far from a new phenomenon. Systemic racism plagues every facet of American society, no institution is left unscathed. From our criminal justice system to our schools and healthcare facilities, racism is deeply entrenched.

 

As an educational non-profit and member of the Consistent Life Network, FCLNY fights all forms of publicly sanctioned violence through advocacy and social awareness. FCLNY vehemently condemns the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other nonviolent individuals that die while in police custody, each year. We acknowledge that the problem is larger than any one victim and unequivocally oppose the systemic racism that has led to these brutal acts and the feelings of hopelessness and despair they have created. 

​

FCLNY’s lawn sign campaign aims to reveal how the historical roots of racism in the US continue to impact our social and economic structures and destructively affect communities and people of color.  FCLNY's campaign seeks to expose the racist tentacles that continue to plague our criminal justice, healthcare, finance and educational systems as well as draw attention to the connections between racism and abortion.

 

During this time of increased awareness of how police violence disproportionately impacts people of color, we must shine light on the systemic nature of racism in America and how it extends beyond police interactions and into the very fabric of our society. FCLNY is committed to working for justice for all people facing oppression and promoting the sanctity of ALL black lives. Our hope is that this lawn sign campaign educates the public on systemic racism and inspires people to continue learning about how they can interrupt these systems and become strong allies and agents of change in their communities. Please join us in our efforts to educate our community on systemic racism and move toward a society that embraces an anti-racist mindset, propelling us toward a future where all human life is deeply respected and valued.

 

We are hoping to raise $10,000 to disseminate thousands of our All Black Lives Matter lawn signs throughout New York State and our nation at large. We partnered with I’m Livin' B, a black-owned, local printing company in Buffalo to create our beautifully customized lawn sign design. Also, a portion of the proceeds will benefit organizations that support and empower our Black community.
