Nominations are now open! Since 2016, we have honored over 25 youth with the Black Education Matters Student Activist Award (BEMSAA). The award gives $1,000 and public recognition to students showing outstanding antiracist and intersectional leadership in their schools and communities. What began as an act of police violence became a commitment to youth justice. Nominate a student leader today!
The 2025 Back Lives Matter at School Week of Action is almost here, and we have a powerful week of events lined up to celebrate and center Blackness in education! From discussions on intergenerational resistance to creative healing spaces and a closing celebration of Black joy, this year’s events uplift the voices of students, educators, parents, caregivers, and communities fighting for justice in schools.
