New study finds ”places with Black Lives Matter protests experience a 15% to 20% decrease in police homicides over the ensuing five years.” Further, the effect ”is most prominent when protests are large or frequent.” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Morris, Kodira, Jordan & others who have protested alone represent a small fraction of the racial justice events that have happened since the murder of George Floyd.
Just 23 of more than 8,000 demonstrations have been solo protests, per @CountLoveOrg data trib.al/oDbCuYm

Protesting alone has a power of its own, in its intimacy, its risk, and in the way it can invite both confrontation and support. @HallieGolden4 talked to several people who went solo during BLM summer. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NEW: What has this latest swell of protests shown us about the Black Lives Matter movement?
It has grown into a remarkably durable force in American society, representing a lever for change and a guiding voice on issues of race.

ALT A list of 47 cities in Oregon that have had at least one documented event take place "for Racial Justice" between May and August 12, 2020. Data is collected by Countlove.org algorithmically crawling local news and television sites to count "public displays of protest that are not part of regular business". The ten cities with the highest number of events are Portland, Bandon, Eugene, Salem, Springfield, Corvallis, Bend, Sandy, Hood River, and Hillsboro.
We built a visualization tool to explore what Americans have protested for. Larger circles represent more frequent categories and reasons; the more often categories/reasons appear together, the thicker their connecting line. countlove.org/blog/protest-t…
Racial justice, gun control, compassionate immigration, and decarbonization top the list of US protest priorities since Jan. 2017. countlove.org/statistics.htm…

We are still reviewing thousands of articles since George Floyd’s death and expect to find many more protests for racial justice and greater police accountability over the last week.
Inspiring to see photos of protesters across the country advocating for greater racial justice. nytimes.com/interactive/2020…
