BLM Changes Name 🇬🇧 ‘Black Liberation Movement’
#blm #BlackLiberationMovement
Activists from the Black Lives Matter UK campaign group have placed their organisation on an official footing, marking it with a change of name.
The group, which received £1.2m in donations following widespread protests in June, has registered as a community benefit society under the name Black Liberation Movement UK.
The registration of the group, hitherto a loose collection of activists, was required before it could receive the donations, which had been collected via a GoFundMe appeal.
The society was registered on 14 September by Adam Elliott Cooper, an academic, Alexandra Wanjiku Kelbert, a PhD student, and Lisa Robinson, a director of a Nottingham-based social enterprise. All have been involved with the UK group since it was established in 2016.
