Kawsachun News | ‘Zone of Peace’ Campaign Launched
The Black Alliance for Peace, along with other organizations, today launched a new campaign to make the Americas a ‘Zone of Peace’, free from imperialism and foreign intervention. The campaign follows a call from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), in 2014, declaring the region a Zone of Peace.
Ajamu Baraka, National Organizer for the Black Alliance for Peace said in his opening remarks at the press conference launching this campaign: “We recognize that we’re not going to be able to transform ourselves and transform the politics of the region unless we have a massive, region-wide popular movement”.
The organization is also celebrating its sixth anniversary today, having been founded on the anniversary of MLK’s assassination.
