“The resources, the platforms, and the name were built by and intended for the work of frontline organizers — our chapters, our people. We will continue to fight for the liberation of our people and for justice in the world.”
Abolitionist. Member-led. Boots on the ground. We stand with Justice Families on the worst day of their lives, and we do not stop.
The doctrine that shields police from accountability when they kill and harm our people must fall. We organize, document, and pressure until it does.
When the system takes one of ours, the family is never alone. Rapid response, presence, and the long fight for the record and the name.
Member-led and community-accountable. Not consultants. Not a brand. The organizers who do the work, answerable to the neighborhoods we come from.
Liberty City — the first Black suburb of Miami, home of Liberty Square, the Hampton House, and Millionaire's Row. Sacred ground, and contested ground. Explore the map.
Liberation is not abstract. In Miami-Dade it has an address, a price, a tideline, and a ballot. These are the fronts we hold.
Centuries of exploited labor and stolen wealth demand repair — not charity. We organize for reparations as policy and practice, and build community-owned economic power so freedom is backed by ownership.
Repair · OwnershipAs the seas rise, capital pushes Black families off the high ground we've held for generations — "climate gentrification." We fight for the right to stay, to own, and to be safe on our own land.
Climate · LandOvertown. Liberty City. Little Haiti. The erasure of Black Miami did not begin yesterday, and it has a method. We name it, document it, and organize the anti-displacement power to end it.
Displacement · StayPolitical freedom is incomplete without power. We build Black political power in Miami-Dade — and Black power writ large — so our communities define, create, and govern their own destiny.
Power · DestinyEvery chapter has a bloodline. Ours runs through the organizers, the revolutionaries, the poets, and the spies — those who built power, told the truth, and refused to be tamed.
“It submits to no one. Just as Leviathan answers to no earthly power, a people striving for freedom will not accept domination — created free, and answerable only to God.”
Black Lives Matter Grassroots Miami is one of 52 frontline chapters of the national BLM Grassroots network — the organizers who birthed, built, and fuel the movement. We are independent of the BLM Global Network Foundation.
We are a close comrade of Black Lives Matter Grassroots Florida — distinct organizations, born of the same struggle, hand in hand in the work. We answer to our community, and to no one else.
