BLK ALERTS is a custom micronews app designed to keep Black, brown, and urban communities informed. With a focus on positivity and community happenings, this app aims to provide accurate and up-to-date information to its users. The app covers a wide range of topics including crime updates (including detailed information on alleged police brutality events), tracking of favorite Black celebrities, as well as the latest developments in culture, technology, education, politics, and the economy.

One of the key features of BLK ALERTS is the ability to receive alerts tailored to your city. By sharing content with others, users can engage in conversations through the new 'NEAR YOU' feature. This allows for a more localized and interactive experience within the app.

For those who enjoyed Black News Alerts, BLK ALERTS is the next step in staying connected to the Black community. In addition to receiving information, users can now see who else is using BLK ALERTS in their city and take advantage of the new chat feature.

If you come across something cool or have news, stories, or footage to share, BLK ALERTS allows you to submit directly to their newsroom. Powered by the trusted Urban Newsroom, BLK ALERTS aims to be the go-to source for urban and Black news.
