August is a special month for Black power building. Revolutionary moments such as the Watts Uprising, Haitian Revolution, Nat Turner Rebellion, Fugitive Slave Law Convention, and March on Washington all happened in August.
The People’s Response Campaign (PRC) is a major initiative launched by M4BL and M4BL Action to further our Vision for Black Lives, calling for innovative systems of community safety and care at the local, federal, and electoral levels. We’ve recruited 20 Black-led organizations, our PRC Fellows, from across the country committed to this vision to work, build, and grow Black political power together at all levels to get us closer to a safer and more free future.
