🤲 Black History Month Socialist Spotlight 🤲
|
✊🏿Happy Black History Month✊🏿
This week, we’re diving into a lesser-known chapter of radical history, the Atlanta Black Panther Party. From 1970 to 1973, Panthers organized right here in neighborhoods like Vine City, Summerhill, and Old Fourth Ward, building survival programs, political education, and community power. They fed hundreds of kids every morning, ran free medical clinics, and fought against police violence, all while facing intense government repression.
Learn more about their work in this video, and let’s continue the fight for Black liberation and socialism right here in the South.

Volunteers must be willing to talk to law enforcement officers to verify what agency they are with. Additional tasks may include recording law enforcement activity.
You do not have to speak Spanish, but ICE Chasers must be allies and U.S. citizens or residents for safety. Individuals willing to become ICE Chasers will receive ICE Free Zone and other training. Individuals who want to volunteer with ICE Chasers must fill out the form below.
