BLM’s movement actively promotes a practice of inclusive, pro-Black, pro-accessibility, anti-oppressive personal and community empowerment. This empowerment is characterized by outreach projects orchestrated by committees dedicated to the local maintenance of high educational standards; political advocacy on behalf of the YEG Black community; an ongoing dialogue with the Edmonton City Police; community engagement across communities in Edmonton, and encouraging responsible alliance within non-Black communities to combat anti-Blackness.
