    This is an ongoing, collaborative archiving project. Share your footage with us here.

    Read more about police violence during the US ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests on Bellingcat and the Guardian.

    In May and June 2020, protests against police brutality swept across the US, following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Those protests were themselves met with further brutality, against protesters and journalists.

    Forensic Architecture and Bellingcat are working together to locate, record, and classify incidents of violence by police at those protests within an interactive cartographic platform.

    The first phase of this ongoing project will record evidence of violence documented against journalists; the second phase will crowd-source and record evidence of violence against protesters and bystanders.

    We need your support to create the most comprehensive archive of police violence at the recent Black Lives Matter protests in the US, which will support advocacy, reporting, activist work, and even legal proceedings, toward accountability for violent acts carried out by police officers against civilians exercising their right to protest.

    If you have footage of police brutality, please consider sharing it with us here.
