Description

OVERVIEW

African People's Solidarity Committee 2015 National Conference

Stop Obama's Imperialist Wars at Home and Abroad!
Not one more black life! Reparations Now! Imperialism Must Go!

The African People’s Solidarity Committee is calling on white people everywhere to take action in the face of the profound crisis of U.S. imperialism, the enemy of the majority of humanity.

We cannot leave the hideous conditions of war, suffering, poverty and devastation to the next generation.

The future of this crumbling system is bleak for the ruling class, but for all those who have suffered the ravages of imperialist terror for the past 500 years, the crisis represents a new beginning in the struggle for a better world!

Today’s crisis reflects the desperation of this parasitic social system which terrorizes and exploits the majority of the world for our benefit, a situation that is both untenable and unbearable.

As the beneficiaries of hundreds of years of slavery and economic exploitation, white people have a responsibility to be part of this historic struggle for social transformation.

APSC was formed by the African People’s Socialist Party in 1976 as a strategic front of the African Liberation Movement with the mission to organize other Euro-Americans to struggle for black power inside the belly of imperialist white power, to organize for reparations to African people and to recognize our interest in ending our self-imposed isolation from the rest of humanity.

Under the leadership of the African Liberation Movement we can turn loose our allegiance to imperialism and stand with the oppressed, the key to the future of the planet!

With workshops and presentations on the key political questions of our time the APSC national conference is an opportunity for us to begin see the world through the eyes of the oppressed and to find out how to get organized in the fight for genuine social justice and reparations.

Unite with oppressed peoples and nations across the planet and inside this country who are locked in a life-or-death resistance against the violence, exploitation and terror of this blood-sucking social system.

Join the African worker-led movement to build a sustainable and humane world founded on justice and social equity, not death and exploitation. We must build a world without oppressors and the oppressed.

Join humanity in ending Obama’s brutal global wars, not by simply calling for “peace,” but by supporting victory to oppressed peoples everywhere.

End racism—the ideological foundation of the system that colonizes African people inside this country and around the world—by standing in solidarity with the African Liberation Movement that strikes at the jugular vein of capitalism built on slavery, genocidal violence and colonialism.

We can and must play our role in ending this deathly system that has plagued the planet for so long.

Join the African People’s Solidarity Committee on January 11 and 12, 2015 in St. Petersburg, Florida for our national conference featuring a keynote presentation by Chairman Omali Yeshitela and APSC Chairwoman Penny Hess.

Register today! Uhuru!
