This is an essential tool for anyone wanting to stay actively engaged in the Black lives matter movement. With three new resources to learn from, three funds to contribute to, and three petitions to sign every day, you can stay actively engaged well past the news cycle. Our extension ensures that every day, you’re reading something new about the Black Lives Matter movement, finding new places to donate, and signing the petitions that are critical now.

In addition, we feature a selected piece of art from a Black artist and links to their portfolios/Instagram where you can check them out. Your new tabs are now not only educational, they're also beautiful.

Our content is constantly being updated by you, the users, based on suggested resources and funds. Check out our resources and contribute your own using the google forms on our website. We also provide a way for you to save these resources, as well as those you find online, in the extension itself. We're hoping to have ads on our extension soon and donate 100% of this revenue to organizations that empower Black folks, but to do this, we need to have a large number of users download our extension.

Install today, leave us a review, and promote us on social media! Every installation helps.

PS - We’re searching for brands and companies to work with us who want to advertise on our extension! 100% OF PROCEEDS will go to various Black lives matter funds. If this is you or anyone you know, please reach out to us via our email address.

This is the best tab I've seen so far but sometimes the page comes up with the read donate and sign buttons but no art in the background, just a blank grey page. I love it regardless but I miss seeing the pieces, could this be rectified? Thank you. Blessings and Abundance to you creators.

This is beyond brilliant! There have been so many great websites/social media accounts/Google Docs lists/etc. about Black Lives Matter, but I never even considered how someone could also create an innovative Chrome Extension like this. It's beautifully designed, easy to use, and I love its multiple functions: opening a new tab creates a sleek and informative page with new resources in different categories, but then you can ALSO click on the extension icon in the top of your browser and that gives you a simple but powerful menu of options to save your current webpage/tab as a resource to Read, Sign or Donate. I've only just started exploring this extension and I'm already loving it-- what a genius intersection of coding and the BLM movement. Definitely sharing this with friends and family!

Love this so much! This will definitely help me continue to educate myself and take small actions every day. Also seeing cool art every time I open a new tab is a plus!!
