The liberation of Black women is an essential component for the transformation of society. Patriarchy, rooted in white supremacy and capitalism, produces the systemic oppression and unique gendered exploitation of women. In our communities, this is reinforced by the persistence of gender-based violence, misogynistic and sexist attitudes, and the degradation of Black women in culture and media.

To address this we must implement community driven solutions that empower us to challenge patriarchy and build a revolutionary culture that promotes respect and dignity for all members of our community

Join us at 7pm ET for the Assatsa Shakur Study Group for a thoughtful discussion on the issues facing Black women in our community, and what collective actions we can take to counter them.

This event is one of PACA's Assata Shakur Study Group (ASSG) sessions that are held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month. It is a hybrid event with the option to participate via Zoom.

Join BAP- Baltimore and A-APRP All African Women’s Union for an engaging and critical conversation on the impacts of imperialism and its systems of oppression—patriarchy, racism, and more—on African people worldwide. We’ll explore how imperialism has reshaped our cultures, harmed marginalized groups, and weaponized tools like Western feminism to destabilize communities.

Let’s confront imperialism, dismantle oppression, and organize for a world where all people are free.

The claim by Nashville City Council is that they have engaged Nashville communities & organizations and have gotten their approval on FUSUS, the FUSUS “guardrail bill”, and other related surveillance/policing technologies and techniques (LPRs, Traffic Stops, Oracle, Cop City, etc.). This town hall is an opportunity to challenge that narrative by inviting Nashville communities and the organizations referenced to speak to how surveillance & increasing police techniques/institutions have a negative effect on Nashville communities through multiple lenses.

Please join the DC Citywide Alliance of the Black Alliance For Peace on Saturday, March 29 for its teach-in ‘Arms of Empire: Gentrification in DC.’ This teach-in will be a primer on DC’s unique position as the capital of the U.S. Empire, the history of how race and class impacts the inhabitants of this city, and how gentrification is connected to private equity and the defense industry, playing a part in accelerating DC’s rapid change in housing over the last 20 years.

The teach-in will be followed by a panel discussion exploring how the United States government and multinational corporations exacerbate the housing crisis in The District and across the colonized world.
