White Lives Matter
White Lives Matter, or WLM, is a movement known for its protests, banner drops, sticker, and leafleting campaigns. The initiative, which was started in April of 2021,[1] has various chapters around the world.[2][3] The initiative is semi-autonomous, with the primary social media account providing a guidance to participants through the release of manuals,[4] checklists,[5] materials,[6] and other instructions.[7][8] Chapters of the initiative work with various other organizations, such as Active Clubs[9] and the Proud Boys.[10]
History
The initiative was launched in April of 2021,[11]
In 2022, the group claimed to have organized over a hundred rallies for the year.[12]
Messaging
White Lives Matter promotes various pro-White causes and seeks to educate the public on various issues. Primarily the group promotes love towards people of European heritage, such as the group's signature message "White Lives Matter," "Make White Babies," "Love Your Race," "White Folks Rock," "White People First", and "Love White People."[13][14][15] Other messages are aimed at stopping mass immigration, such as "Stop White Genocide,"[16] "Stop White Replacement,"[17] and "Stop Replacement Migration."[18] The group has also criticized anti-White hypocrisy on racial pride with messages like "Racial Pride For All But Whites."[19]
The issues the initiative seek to educate the public about includes such topics as the Holodomor,[20] interracial crime statistics,[21] immigration,
The group also promotes various documentaries, such as Europa: The Last Battle[22] and Defiant.[23] One common sticker the initiative uses to promote Europa: The Last Battle claims "If the news is fake imagine how bad history is."[24]
Tactics
The initiative offers participants an activist manual which claims their activism to be "peaceful & legal" and "forbids any illegal activity whatsoever." The manual further claims that while the initiative cannot stop infiltration by state actors, the quickest way to identify one is "if someone asks you do to anything illegal." The manual also claims that "WLM has no public leaders" and claims the reason for this is because "People are imperfect and can easily be attacked and slandered."[25]
The initiative offers a guide on banner drops.[26] These banners are often held above freeway overpasses for drivers to see.[27][28] Sometimes these banners are simply affixed to the overpass and left.[29]
According to the initiative, "stickering is perhaps the easiest form of activism one can do."[30] A Brother QL-1100 or QL-800 label printer for stickering[31] and offers sticker designs for downloading.[32] Participants will often cover up stickers from anti-White groups such as "antifa" with those of their own.[33]
The initiative holds monthly events where they encourage chapters of their organizations and other pro-White groups to engage in activism on a specific day of the month.[34] The initiative releases an event calendar once a year with a list of dates to conduct activism on.[35]
