BLM Leaders Issue First Statement on Donald Trump's Election
------------------------------------------------------------

The leaders of the Black Lives Matter Network have issued their first
statement on Trump's election. In the statement, they called Trump a
white supremacist and said, "Today, like every day before it, we demand
reparations, economic justice, a commitment to black futures and an end
to the war on black people, in the United States and around the world.
The work will be harder, but the work is the same."
