Black and Afro-descendant Liberation Around the World |
|
For this month, in line with Black August, we’re uplifting ongoing movements for Black liberation around the world. We’re excited to announce the formalization of our West Africa Program, which has been long in the making. The first piece below introduces our ten West African partners who are doing ground-breaking organizing in the face of multiple assaults. The second piece provides a deeper glimpse into some of this work at the regional level through Nous Sommes la Solution/We are the Solution. We also report on a visit by members of our partner OFRANEH, who work in defense of Afro-Indigenous Garifuna communities of Honduras. They updated us on their international campaign for justice following the abduction of five community members and their recent efforts on organizing Garifuna people in the US. Lastly, we share some powerful images and reflections coming out of a recent learning exchange around healing and justice involving organizers from the US, Puerto Rico, and Honduras. |
