Black Lives Matter Responds After Being Ignored by Joe Biden
Shortly after the media projected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as winners of the 2020 election last month, Black Lives Matter sent a letter to the pair congratulating them and asking for a meeting. After all, the group’s support wasn’t going to come for free. . .
According to a recent BLM Instagram post, however, the group is still waiting.
“On the night of the Biden Harris victory, BLM sent a letter requesting a meeting,” read the description next to a graphic explaining it’s been 32 days and the group has heard nothing.
“Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Rep. Cedric Richmond met with several civil rights groups yesterday. We weren’t invited. Black life cannot wait. Creating thriving conditions for Black communities in the 21st century cannot be put on pause.
“As the organization leading the largest global social justice movement, we demand a seat at the table,” the statement continued. “To ignore us—and the 64,000 of you who have signed our petition—is to ignore our generation’s most pressing demands for transformative justice.”
BLM says Biden-Harris have been silent on meeting request. Being right sucks! I told you Black lives don’t matter to @JoeBiden or @blm. They don’t even matter to each other! https://t.co/0svsAemMJX
