Ethnic Lives Matter ELM  is based in unity and non-divisiveness.

The ELM organization has its roots from 2009 with the re-etablishment of the Sicilian/Italian/Hispanic cultural club SOCIETA' ITALIANA DEL TIRO AL BERSAGLIO.   The ELM was inspired by this  Society called the:  " SOCIETA' ITALIANA DEL TIRO AL BERSAGLIO" which is one of the oldest ethnic clubs in the USA which was founded in 1868.  Six years later in 1874, the Italians were permanently freed from slavery in New York City and other places in the USA by the Padrone act of 1874 in the US Congress.

Our Core principles include:

1. Recognizing all ethnic groups as deserving of respect and dignity.

2. Promoting harmony of all ethnicities. See 3,000+ World Ethnic Groups

3. Condemning any individual or institution who chastises or ridicules any person or group based on the color of: their skin, eyes, hair, or family.

4. Demand that all racially divisive education and training be defunded.

5. Asking institutions such as Universties, Seminaries, Religious Bodies, Hollywood, Political Parties involved in Slavery or Segregation, Silicon Valley, Public Companies, Living Politicians, and Unions to attone for past wrongs. 

Ethnic Lives Matter is also a court-like restorative justice body assembled  to include members of all  ethnicities to look at the institutions, educational bodies, churches, unions and historical figures tied to slavery, confederate monuments, trafficking, economic slavery, lynchings, the KKK, segregation, Jim Crow. 

Victims of gross human rights violations are invited to give statements about truth and history of bigotry and racism from the American Revolution all the way up to Jefferson Davis, the Confederate Democrats,  Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Lyndon B Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
