Black Lives Matter UK is preparing for our second Festival of Collective Liberation on Saturday 19th July. You can watch a video and read about last year’s festival here.


These festivals will be building upon the long legacy of Black anti-colonial liberation organising in Britain. Uplifting the work of our elders, like Brixton Black Women's Group, the Bristol Bus boycott organisers, the Race Today collective and the Windrush scandal campaigners.


"They continue to ground us in the fight for liberation, to create a Black-first one day festival that will - we hope - in turn generate new legacies for Black organising in Britain."

BLMUK’s Festival of Collective Liberation will aim to demonstrate and strengthen our international solidarity with anti-colonial/anti-imperialist struggles across the world.

The one-day festival will be comprised of panel discussions, strategy debates, keynote speeches, workshops, trainings, art and music.
