BLM

An abbreviation for "Black Lives Matter," a social justice movement focusing on black oppression and police brutality in the US and abroad. Its start is typically associated with the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager who was unarmed at the time of the shooting. A BLM demonstration is being held outside city hall today. "All lives should matter, but all lives don't receive equal treatment in society—this is why a movement like BLM is necessary," the speaker said. Some of the protesters were holding signs that said "BLM."

At the state level, BLM has planned potential timeframes to approach the cleanup, but several factors made even starting a path extremely difficult: the remoteness of the sites, procuring the necessary equipment and proper staff with expertise to plug wells or perform site remediation--often in competition with industry--and the funding.

Robert Brumbaugh, BLM Geologist, elaborated by adding, "In the past, we've only been given money for emergency-type funding for a situation.
