Four point objectives of BlackOutLDN are: 

 

1. To use the tools of non-violent direct action in response to state violence, oppression and discrimination.

​

BlackOutLDN will use non-violent direct action to reveal existing problems, highlight alternatives and demonstrate possible solutions to unjust social issues.

 

• Police brutality 

• Stop and search 

• Institutional racism 

 

BlackOutLDN will support families who have been affected by state violence and reinforce their campaigns for justice.

 

2. To highlight the inequality and systemic oppression of all Black People (Disaporic Africans) within the UK.

 

Working with other grassroots groups BlackOutLDN will work to highlight inequality and systematic oppression of all Black people within the UK, as well as actively challenging attitudes and belief systems that uphold inequality. 

BlackOutLDN recognises the intersectional failings within the social justice movement and actively works to ensure that intersections are recognised for the most marginalised groups.

 

3. BlackOutLDN will actively challenge.

 

• Gender based violence abuse and sexism against women, including trans women and girls 

• Discrimination based on religious or non religious status

• Youth Violence

• Negative attitudes and media stereotypes perpetrated against Cis heterosexual Black men

​

Using workshops, events, blogs and social media campaigns BlackOutLDN will promote anti-violence, anti-discriminative and non-oppressive practices, attitudes and beliefs. 

BlackOutLDN will work actively with groups to challenge youth violence, gun and knife crime. BlackOutLDN will support families who have been bereaved by youth violence, gun and knife crime.

​

4. Produce a series of BlackOutLDN documentaries.

​​

With the focus being on young people, BlackOutLDN will explore intersectionality within the Black community in Britian and how social issues affect them and how they can be challenged.

We are always keen to work with other organisations that understand the importance of speaking up and making a change regarding the struggles of race inequality.

​

BlackOut is a series of documentaries some of which highlight black excellence in our young people. The aim is to go into high crime areas and document the achievements of some of our young people against all the odds, we will also be highlighting some of the major issues of the black community.

 

The media would have you believe black youth are violent, drug dealing, lazy lost causes. These programmes will show how amazing our young people are and showcase their fantastic achievements. We will also explore in depth what it means to be black in Britain today. 

 

Young People

​

We will do what we can to Reach, Support and Teach young people in today’s UK, BlackOutLDN will seek to champion Black Excellence amongst young Black people and welcomes their input in all of the work we do.

​

Where we can, we want to work intergenerationally as we feel it's important to include all members of the community when working toward solutions.
