ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「George Floyd’s killing galvanized a nation. And groups like the Minneapolis collective Black Visions are channeling that energy into a movement for political change. @blackvisionscollective represents the new wave of young Black activists who have emerged from the Black Lives Matter movement. Established 3 years ago, it regularly orchestrates rallies and, for years, has done the mundane municipal work of protesting budgets and holding public educational sessions on policy issues related to racism, including police violence. When Floyd’s death thrust Minneapolis into the national spotlight, Black Visions drew attention as a Black-led group with deep ties to queer, immigrant and transgender communities. It became the default local organization to support. So much so, links to its donation page materialized on countless resource lists and Instagram Stories, funneling a staggering total of $30 million to the group. But while some organizations tackle one issue that affects Black people — like immigration or economics — Black Visions wanted to be able to tackle them all, in the same spirit of the Combahee River Collective, the Black lesbian group that in 1977 stated that “if Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.” Organizers wanted its work to reflect that the anti-Black and racist policies that began during enslavement were still in play. “The forefront has always been sustainability, strategy and vision, and that’s what guided us,” said Kandace Montgomery, one of the founders of Black Visions. “An unapologetically Black approach was needed, especially in Minnesota.” Tap the link in our bio to read more from @nytmag about how the new wave of Black activists are changing the conversation about race.
