“The recent Black Lives Matter protests peaked on June 6, when half a million people turned out in nearly 550 places across the United States. That was a single day in more than a month of protests that still continue to today,” the New York Times reports.

“Four recent polls — including one released this week by Civis Analytics, a Democratic data firm — suggest that about 15 million to 26 million people in the United States have participated in demonstrations over the death of George Floyd and others in recent weeks.”

“These figures would make the recent protests the largest movement in the country’s history.”

I saw on another blog a video in which a woman was saying that her daughter asked her to go to an event, and she said "black Voters matter" - I think it is perfect.

That way, when Republicans automatically respond with "ALL ...." (as in All Voters Matter), we can respond with, "well, that's what WE have been saying all along!!"
