Black Lives Matter patch



Black Lives Matter patch




You can make one and sew it to a purse, hat, hoodie, anything!

The reason I'm making this free is to spread the message that BLACK LIVES MATTER.
I am so very heartbroken to keep seeing the news headlines filled with black people being brutally murdered.

It's not ok that this keeps happening.

I'm also upset that people on the internet seem to think Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization.

It's not. The riots and violence breaking out is either

1) escalated by police or

2) white people using the movement as an excuse to be violent and rowdy (see: the UK BLM).


 "Black Lives MATTER is the bare minimum. Black lives are worthy. Black lives are beloved. Black lives are needed"

When people say Black Lives Matter, they are not saying "only black lives matter" or

"black lives matter more than yours," we are saying "black lives matter" period.

It's a complete sentence and a complete thought on its own.

With white, sew the details for the fist.
