This year’s Plenary is themed, “This Time ‘Til it’s Won! Power in Our Own Hands! It’s not just Trump, it’s the whole damn system!”
Read the call for participation in the APSP’s April Plenary
While freedom-loving people throughout the world are courageously putting their lives on the line in opposition to the genocidal frenzy of U.S. international and domestic military aggression, the APSP calls on freedom-loving people to go beyond protest and build the liberated economy to negate the colonial mode of production.
Chairman Omali describes the significance of the upcoming Plenary: “The African People’s Socialist Party International Plenary is the planning forum we use to deepen our organization, enhance our organizing and lead the African working class beyond spontaneous protest and social media militancy to the capture of actual contending dual power designed to negate the colonial domination of our people and the oppressed peoples of the world.”
The APSP’s April 17-19 Plenary will include presentations, workshops and training sessions on:
- Building a dual and contending economy and creating liberated territory.
- Using the electoral process to seize political terrain. Candidates and former elected officials NY Assemblyman and NYC Councilman Charles Barron, St. Louis Alderman Jesse Todd, candidates Akile Anai, Jesse Nevel.
- Security and self-defense for the community and the movement. Know your rights when the FBI knocks or you get stopped. With Unión de Barrio.
- Campaign to repeal the Foreign Agent and Conspiracy laws used for political repression.
- Dred Scott Sanctuary City Resolution expansion to protect African and other colonized communities from federal raids.
- Unifying the African Nation for total liberation. On-the-ground reports from South Africa, Sierra Leone and Europe.
- Independent Black-owned media. How to get involved!
- Science, engineering, agriculture, education and healthcare in the service of African liberation.
- African women are equal makers and shapers of history.Stop “Child Protective Services” kidnapping of Black children’; “Black Mothers March on the White House”.
- Unity through reparations. How white people can stand in accountable solidarity with African liberation. APSC Chairwoman Penny Hess and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Chair Jesse Nevel report on reparations work.
Chairman Omali promises the upcoming Plenary will provide the ideological and practical leadership needed in this period. “In the 53 years of our Party’s existence, our leaders and institutions have survived police beatings, imprisonment, firebombings, FBI raids, armed assassination attempts, economic sanctions and other attempts to crush us. We have been able to thrive and grow because our theory of African Internationalism has been tested and proven correct in our practice, building genuine self-determination and creating liberated territory. Join us in our victorious struggle. This time ‘til it’s won, power in our own hands!”
