Economic Crisis and Growing Resistance

All progressive people, allies of the black community:

We are building A Day in Solidarity with African People right here in Oakland, to be held on Thursday, October 13th as part of a national fundraising campaign to raise $10,000 towards the Uhuru Movement programs.

At this meeting, we will discuss the economic crisis in terms of a system built on the resources of the peoples of the planet and the growing resistance to colonial occupation and oppression.

After that, we will get down to the work to build the events for A Day in Solidarity with African People!

All around the world, people are taking the pledge of solidarity with reparations, justice and self-determination for AFrican people.

The problem in Oakland is not the youth or the so-called gangs. The problem in Oakland is the public policy of police containment of the African and Mexican communities where you have military forces with specialized weapons surrounding neighborhoods in East and West Oakland. You have police containment in the face of poverty, unemployment, oppression. You have America's other war.

We reject a military solution that continues the criminalization of African and Mexican people and call for economic development, justice and reparations!

Come build a public response to the call for a curfew and more gang injunctions. Come build A Day in Solidarity with African People on October 13th. A special event will also take place sponsored by Uhuru Foods on Saturday, October 15th
