Leadership
Maya's Leadership Journey
From student activist to community organizer, Maya's courage sparked reform and inspired youth-led justice across Atlanta.
Maya began organizing in college, tired of watching her peers face injustice in silence. Through mentorship and community alliances, she built a coalition that pushed for transparency, accountability, and better training within local policing. Today, Maya mentors others to lead — reminding them that movements grow through love, persistence, and truth.
Wisdom
Elder James' Wisdom
A civil rights veteran guiding the next generation through the lessons of struggle, unity, and purpose.
Elder James marched for freedom in the 1960s — now, he teaches youth the power of organizing without fear. His community center hosts free civic education workshops, teaching history not as the past but as a living reminder: progress requires sacrifice, faith, and community rooted in love.
Solidarity
Building Together
A neighborhood's unity turned hardship into hope through food drives, mentorship, and shared care.
When the pandemic hit, neighbors who barely spoke began organizing food drives and after-school care. What started as survival became solidarity — a model of what's possible when people see each other not as strangers, but as family. Together, they built a space where everyone belonged, and no one was left behind.

/ Our Story
Est. 2020Black Lives Matter Georgia was founded in 2020 during one of the most defining moments of our generation. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide reckoning following the murder of George Floyd, our communities were grieving, isolated, and searching for unity, strength, and a voice.
We rose from that moment with a clear purpose: to build a movement that ensures every Black person in Georgia is heard, protected, supported, and empowered. What began as a grassroots response to injustice has grown into a trusted nonprofit organization committed to racial equity, community empowerment, advocacy, and direct support.
Today, we continue that work — standing with families, fighting for justice, and investing in a future where every voice matters and every life is valued.
