Markers on the map can be filtered by categories of business like "food and beverage," "entertainment" and "health and beauty" across any given area. Beyond the Google-powered map, the site also includes dropdown lists of black-owned e-commerce sites and nonprofits.
"Black-owned business have long been a staple in the Black community providing jobs, economic security and somewhere for us to go and feel seen and safe," Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a statement. "In these uncertain times, we need these places more than ever."
The project will be boosted by a social media campaign involving promotion from key activists and influential personalities. Black Lives Matter has also enlisted the storied ad agency to handle much of the group's advertising and marketing needs going forward.
"Working in advertising, I believe that the messages we push out have an impact and that we have a responsibility to try and shape culture positively," JWT CEO Lynn Power said in a statement. "I am really glad that our partnership with Black Lives Matter is giving us the opportunity to play a truly active role."
