Say Her Name

#SayHerName is a gender-inclusive racial justice movement that campaigns against police brutality and anti-Black violence against black women in the United States. The movement aims to highlight the gender-specific ways in which police brutality and anti-Black violence disproportionately affect black women, especially black queer women and black trans women. In the hopes of accumulating a large social media presence alongside other racial justice campaigns, including #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackGirlsMatter, the African American Policy Forum (AAPF) coined the #SayHerName hashtag in February 2015.
