BALTIMORE MAY DAY: JOIN THE
NATIONAL SHUTDOWN!

As the US ruling class attempt to wage endless wars abroad, as they send ICE into our communities, as they cut funding for all of the things we actually need, working and oppressed people across the country and world are struggling.

And with every assault, every act of aggression, energy for change rises. Every day, the system requires us to go to work, to go to school, to shop.

But that means that we have the power to bring the system to a grinding halt. This is the power of the general strike, to refuse business as usual.

We can shut things down until our demands are met. Workers have the power to make the changes we know are necessary.

We demand an end to the US’s endless wars! We demand ICE out of our communities! We demand money for people’s needs instead of the US war machine.

🗣️ ALL OUT FOR MAY DAY

The France–Africa Summit is scheduled to convene in Nairobi on May 11–12th, branded as "Africa Forward" and spun as an effort to improve mutual innovation and growth between Africa and France. This summit has emerged in the wake of France's military and diplomatic retreat from West Africa, where anti-imperialist uprisings expelled colonial troops from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. French imperialism is now turning to East Africa, with Kenya as its principal gateway. 

The Black Alliance for Peace’s Africa Team / U.S. Out of Africa Network (BAP) holds that the actual role and intentions of France in Africa are revealed in France’s current efforts to establish a permanent military presence in Kenya as direct compensation for its losses in the Sahel.

As a prelude to the Pan-Africanism Summit Against Imperialism, designed to expose the imperialist nature of the France–Africa Summit, BAP invites you to this webinar that will cover such issues as the significance of the U.S. formally designating Kenya as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA), the first in Sub-Saharan Africa, and France being a founding member of NATO. Speakers will deconstruct the real underlying motives of France and the West – military expansion and economic domination – and highlight the revolutionary response to be reflected in the Pan-Africanism Summit Against Imperialism.

Speakers

• Ajiambo Ashlyn - Communist Party Marxist Kenya

• SALAMI Nidol Ishola - Communist Party of Benin

• Sobukwe Shukura - All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP)

• Kossi K.P. Paul, BAP’s U.S. Out of Africa Network Steering Committee and A-APRP- France Chapter 

Moderator: Margaret Kimnberley, Co-Coordinator of The Black Alliance for Peace, Africa Team.
