Social Analysis  Description  The killing of Black men and women despite whatever differences is referred to as the systematic and intentional targeting of black lives for demise.  Blacks are deprived of basic human rights.  It centers those that have been marginalized with the black community  Campaign Zero is collaboration of various activists, researchers, and protestors. That includes Black Lives Matter.  Cause and Responsibility  Dehumanization. Black people of any differences aren’t given or seen as equal to the lives of their white counterpart. Mass incarceration, stop and frisk, character degrading, lack of unity, love, and understanding between people of color and different.  The attitudes of people within racial community (Blacks and whites), the State and Federal legislature, the justice system, and law enforcement.

Solution  Similar to Black Lives Matter, move the hashtag from social media to the street and educate individuals of solutions via public awareness  They offer a Comprehensive package, urgent policy solutions informed by data, research and human rights principles.  To secure this, it involves a collaborative effort from the community, the Legislature, and law enforcement.  Actions: End broken windows, stop Stop-and-Frisk based on minority status, revise proper standards for the use of force, demilitarization, film the police, etc.

Strategies (Part 1)  Campaign Zero causes changes through public awareness. By creating the online website, their web designs carefully explains what and how of police violence and police violence prevention. Because of their association with Black Lives Matter, Both Grassroots and Direct Action can be implemented.  Ex of Grassroots Action: CampaignZero.com (Statistics and Solutions), social media page on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, The page Guiding Principles on BlackLivesMatttter.com  Ex of Direct Action: On CampaignZero.com, there is a link WeTheProtestors. It details upcoming protests. On BlackLivesMatter.com has listed BLM events and local Chapters Social Changes

Strategies (part 2)  Campaign Zero and Black Lives Matter are know for the use visual rhetoric. Some of the images include: Rhetorical Changes Both also use statistics in terms of logos, images of protests and news on recent shootings as pathos and ethos. Instills a obligation to commit and rally support

The Future Capacity to Change  Campaign Zero strength lies in its association with Black Lives Matter.  This platform rose during the controversial shooting of Michael Brown and rioting. It has strong media attention and flack. That increased their potential.  Nothing at this point can hold them back. If Black on Black crime didn’t hurt the movement, what will?  Weaknesses: Impact on the Legislature. Reliance on further police violence incidents Vision  Campaign Zero intends to make aware and reduce the killing and mistreatment of the Black Community. That include the elderly, the transgender, the disabled, etc.  I believe in a pessimistic viewpoint that things will never get better. There will be achievements and progress here and there.  I can see the with certainty that polic tactics and further legislatives will be passed to reduce police violence.  The black Community should integrate and work with other races, yet they should retain a separatist mindset.  Accept that we as a race/community will never be accepted and refocus on what you hold dear instead of what your enemies wants. relearn your history, culture and identity

Education equals preservation of Black lives
