We cordially invite you to join us for our free online conference, ‘Black Liberation in an age of international crises’ which will run from 11-4pm on Saturday 19 November. The event will address how the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, Covid-19 and war hit Black communities hardest -- and most importantly, address solutions. From Haiti to Honduras, these crises come at a time when the governments of the West have explicit imperialist policies of conflict, division, extractivism and exploitation of our communities. It's a day of discussion you won't want to miss.
The sessions for the day:
Black Liberation and 21st Century Socialism
Fighting Imperialist Wars - Justice for Palestine
The Cost of Living Crisis - Black Liberation in Britain
Black Lives Matter - Stand Up To Racism & Fascism

In recent months, the Black Liberation Alliance have been active on campuses across London and taking our pace in the streets joining the broader movements for change, including speaking at anti-war, anti racism event and the Roe v Wade demo supporting Abortion Rights. We mobilised our supporters for demonstration blocs at the UN Anti-Racism Day and Palestine national demonstrations, and in the last week we extended our solidarity with the strikers taking industrial action.
So, join us as we take our focus to building internationalist connections online!
