The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) is organizing a webinar a few days ahead of May 1, 2021, the deadline for the United States to pull all troops from Afghanistan. However, in recent weeks the Biden administration announced it would exit by September 11, 2021, thereby violating a peace agreement the Trump administration had brokered with the Taliban. Now U.S. officials are openly speaking about how to continue a U.S. presence in Afghanistan past September 11 to continue it's so-called "anti-terror" operations.

What does this mean for the people of Afghanistan, for women's rights, for the region, for the world and for the re-developing anti-imperialist movement in the United States?

Join BAP and its Solidarity Network at 7 p.m., ET, April 29, 2021, for "#MayDayAfghanistan: Building a People's Movement to End U.S. Imperialism in Afghanistan and Around the World."

This webinar will feature the following speakers:

Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly - radical Black Studies scholar

Jacqueline Luqman - independent journalist and radical activist
Vijay Prashad - historian, author and journalist
