Black Lives Matter is a movement born in 2013 against police brutality and racially motivated violence against black persons. It is marked by demonstrations, especially on the streets and is a calling card for action against discrimination. The movement sparked to prominence around mid-2020 with mammoth protests against the police killing of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis, the US.

Spinning off from the BLM movement, the southern tip of Mumbai started their own, called Colaba Residents Also Matter (CRAM), at the end of 2020. The organisation, comprising locals, has eight members as of now and is concentrating on area-specific civic problems.
