This would support previous data, which has suggested that BLM is the biggest movement in US history.ĩ3 per cent of these protests, the ACLED report adds, have involved peaceful protesters, with no serious harm to people or damage to property.
Over 7,750 demonstrations linked with the Black Lives Matter movement have been recorded since Floyd’s death, according to ACLED, spanning all 50 states but particularly prevalent in California (819 events), New York (430), Florida (380), and Illinois (331). The report from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project ( ACLED), an organisation that tracks worldwide political violence and unrest, analyses data gathered since May 26, the day after George Floyd was killed in police custody in Minneapolis, triggering a wave of protests against police brutality and systemic racism that quickly spread across the US. Despite the negative portrayal of Black Lives Matter protesters by the US government and right-wing media outlets, a new report shows that the vast majority of their demonstrations this year have been peaceful, even among a growing number of forceful or violent interventions.
