Building A New Movement Against Racism and Police Terror

At least 2,337 people—a large number of whom were black and poor—have been killed by law enforcement officers in America since the beginning of 2009. The police are hired guns, a corrupt, out-of-control, murderous, military occupying army. They are recruited by the government to beat and kill poor and working class people who dare to demand their rights and begin to organize to dismantle the system that was created by the government to oppress them, or just black people murdered by racist in the cases of modern day legal lynchings. Yet, too many people in the black community believe the lie that if they “work with the police,” this will stop crime in our community. Nothing could be further from the truth since it is the government which is responsible for the poverty and desperation which breeds crime in the first place. Join us for a discussion on Black Autonomy Federation Radio about building a new grassroots, anti-racist/anti-cop movement and an organized resistance struggle to stop racist police terror.

JoNina Abron-Ervin 8:33am Jan 10 - We're a week away from the conference (January 18, 2014 - see address above), and Black Autonomy Federation members are excited about the opportunity to begin training our young people as community organizers. Poor, low income and working class black folks in America are facing a deep crisis. We need a new generation trained to lead the fight against black poverty, unemployment, police brutality, mass imprisonment and other issues. No one can lead us but us. We are the ones we've been waiting for! Please email Black Autonomy Federation organize.the.hood@gmail.com or call us at (901)674-8430 if you are coming to Memphis from out-of-town and have questions or need any information about lodging.
