In 2013, when Trayvon Martin's killer went free, Patrisse's outrage led her to co-found Black Lives Matter with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCondemned as terrorists and as a threat to America, these loving women founded a hashtag that birthed the movement to demand accountability from the authorities who continually turn a blind eye to the injustices inflicted upon people of Black and Brown skin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChampioning human rights in the face of violent racism, Patrisse is a survivor.
