But some have tried to use a counterargument with the “All Lives Matter” label.
“We do believe that all lives matter, but we don’t live in a world where all lives matter,” said Alicia Garza, in a 2016 interview with KATU.
Garza and Opal Tometi are two of the tree co-founders of the national Black Lives Matter movement.
They spoke at Portland State University in February of 2016 and explained why the “All Lives Matter” label is problematic.
Local Black Lives Matter activist Teressa Raiford says those words still ring true today.
