Are you aware that the official BLM organization had removed their "What We Believe" page?

Now, why would they do something like that???

That's ok. We have a backup on Hive

Thanks to a archive.vm snapshot. It is not viewable with Brave so I am going to share a copy here. Hope it is helpful

Four years ago, what is now known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network began to
organize. It started out as a chapter-based, member-led organization whose mission
was to build local power and to intervene when violence was in￾icted on Black
communities by the state and vigilantes.
In the years since, we’ve committed to struggling together and to imagining and
creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social,
economic, and political power to thrive.
Black Lives Matter began as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence
and anti-Black racism. Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black
people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in

their communities. The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and
deliberate violence in￾icted on us by the state.
Enraged by the death of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of his killer,
George Zimmerman, and inspired by the 31-day takeover of the Florida State Capitol by
POWER U and the Dream Defenders, we took to the streets. A year later, we set out
together on the Black Lives Matter Freedom Ride to Ferguson, in search of justice for
Mike Brown and all of those who have been torn apart by state-sanctioned violence
and anti-Black racism. Forever changed, we returned home and began building the
infrastructure for the Black Lives Matter Global Network, which, even in its infancy, has
become a political home for many.
We’ve accomplished a lot in four short years. Ferguson helped to catalyze a movement
to which we’ve all helped give life. Organizers who call this network home have ousted
anti-Black politicians, won critical legislation to bene￾t Black lives, and changed the
terms of the debate on Blackness around the world. Through movement and
relationship building, we have also helped catalyze other movements and shifted
culture with an eye toward the dangerous impacts of anti-Blackness.
These are the results of our collective efforts.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network is as powerful as it is because of our
membership, our partners, our supporters, our staff, and you. Our continued
commitment to liberation for all Black people means we are continuing the work of our
ancestors and ￾ghting for our collective freedom because it is our duty.
Every day, we recommit to healing ourselves and each other, and to co-creating
alongside comrades, allies, and family a culture where each person feels seen, heard,
and supported.
We acknowledge, respect, and celebrate differences and commonalities.
We work vigorously for freedom and justice for Black people and, by extension, all
people.
We intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together
through a beautiful struggle that is restorative, not depleting.
We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In a￾rming that Black Lives Matter,
we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves
is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others.
We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different
ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the
world.
We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived
sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability,
religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.
We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.

We are self-re￾exive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and
uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be
disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
We build a space that a￾rms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and
environments in which men are centered.
We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect
with their contexts.
We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their
children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double
shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice
work.
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting
each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another,
especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are
comfortable.
We foster a queer‐a￾rming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of
freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief
that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
We cultivate an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism. We believe
that all people, regardless of age, show up with the capacity to lead and learn.
We embody and practice justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one
another.

Spread the truth. Defeat the lies!

Understand that, despite how they try to depict the movement as about racial equality (using false premises and flawed methodology to arrive at it's conclusions), it is ultimately part of a larger push against western values and culture. Traditional values such as are the basis of family and an well functioning and orderly society. Not to suggest there is some truth in the grievance of police brutality but that truth is being leveraged in a way that is irreconcilably racist in itself.

Accordingly this has led to the pushback that is needed to distance the real issues from other unwholesome ideological aims.

This is why I feel it is important to capture these tidbits or clues that are telling of the broader agenda

Thank you for your attention.
