Event description
Description
Join us at the African People's Socialist Party's (APSP) Midwest Regional Conference where we will be reviewing and discussing on building the revolutionary momentum of African people, building the Revolutionary Vanguard and discussing the Political Report to the 7th Congress of the African People's Socialist Party, written by Chairman Omali Yeshitela.
The Political Report is a remarkable description of the political forces in the world at this moment in history. It shows the way forward to liberate and unify Africa and African people, under the leadership of the African working class using the Party's theory and practice of African Internationalism.
At this Midwest Regional Conference, we will be calling for your participation as we prepare our attendance to the historic Congress taking place in St. Louis, Missouri from October 6th -13th, themed: Vanguard! The Advanced Detachment of the African Revolution.
