“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Clapback is a 90-day campaign designed to galvanize, mobilize and inspire, for the ultimate purpose of building true collective power, capable of driving lasting social change.
We Will Not Be Silent
It's Time to Clapback.
Throughout history, our nation has experienced times of racial progress, followed by periods of backlash. It happened following the Emancipation Proclamation, it happened following the Civil Rights Movement, and it’s happening today.
Whether the reversal of the Voting Rights Act, backsliding on corporate commitments following the murder of George Floyd, the Supreme Court’s decision declaring affirmative action unconstitutional or the recent litigation filed against Black led funds and organizations, the recent aggression towards Black people has been unrelenting. And it has triggered much confusion, paranoia and fear among Black leaders and those who support our cause.
At Black Innovation Alliance, we are committed to fighting back.
Through this campaign, Black Innovation Alliance stands in solidarity with those who choose to persist, to stand on the right side of history and advance the cause for racial justice that our forefathers initiated generations ago.
What we Believe
Our Five Assertions
1.
We do not live in a color-blind, race-neutral society.
2.
The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation lives on.
3.
While we've come a long way, we've got a long way to go.
4.
Racial equity is necessary in order for racial equality to be realized.
5.
We won't stop until equal opportunity is achieved.
Over the next 90 days, we will take you on a truth voyage, exploring the ugly roots of our current predicament and exposing the age-old tactics that power brokers, hate mongers and wealth hoarders have used over and again, to distract from the aim…a fair and just democracy. We’ll provide resources and tools to those in the fight for racial equity and create opportunities and spaces for dreaming, sharing, building and planning.
When they marched, they clapped back.
When they resisted, they clapped back.
When they escaped, they clapped back.
When they rebelled, they clapped back.
Our generation won’t be stomped into acquiescence. We won’t back down from unfair treatment.
We will find our friends. We will speak the truth. And we will do it in service to generations of freedom fighters who, by standing in their power, gave us the blueprint to stand in ours.
