In an environment that is high in racial justice saliency, how do identities inform motivation for supporting specific issues in the crowd? This study examines the role that intersectionality played in mobilizing participants to join the mass demonstrations sparked by the murder of George Floyd. Building on recent studies that show how protest participants connect issue-based concerns with their identities to boost support for movements, we analyze data collected through surveys with a random sample of activists participating in the protests after George Floyd’s death in Washington, DC, in 2020. We find that intersectional motivations played a significant role in mobilizing protest participants. Analysis of these factors helps explain the diversity of the crowd and provides insights into how the movement may contribute to greater success for racial justice and the degree to which the movement has staying power.

2020 年夏季种族正义运动的交叉性

在种族正义显着性高的环境中，身份如何影响支持人群中特定问题的动机？本研究考察了交叉性在动员参与者加入由乔治·弗洛伊德 (George Floyd) 谋杀案引发的大规模示威活动中所起的作用。最近的研究表明，抗议参与者如何将基于问题的担忧与他们的身份联系起来，以加强对运动的支持，我们分析了通过调查收集的数据，这些数据是在 2020 年乔治·弗洛伊德 (George Floyd) 死于华盛顿特区后参与抗议活动的激进主义者的随机样本进行的。 . 我们发现交叉动机在动员抗议参与者方面发挥了重要作用。
