on Blackness
Black Pacific Alliance (BPA) is an international non-profit organization that supports people of Africana/Pasifika or Melanesian heritage concerned with addressing anti-blackness and white supremacy, and developing cultural competencies within our respective communities.
BPA was established after the murder of George Floyd as a virtual space to share our critical responses to the disingenuous #PacificIslandersforBlackLivesMatter that was trending at the time.
We’ve taken what we learned during our virtual gatherings to create an organization addressing anti-Blackness in the Pacific Islander Community and to work towards undoing the erasure of Blackness in the Pacific.
