The Black Is Back Coalition For Social Justice Peace & Reparations The Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations calls on all black, oppressed and freedom loving people to join the mass mobilization in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Nov. 7.
We are marching under the call:
Resist U.S. Wars and Occupation in the U.S. and Abroad! Reparations Now!
Despite the escalation of U.S. imperialist aggressions against the peoples of the world and the growing oppression and emiseration imposed on black people in the U.S., most black leadership in the U.S. has suffered political paralysis since the election of Barack Hussein Obama as U.S. president.
Thus the Black is Back Coalition is issuing this call to march on November 7 because we owe it to ourselves and to the peoples of the world to unite with the efforts of freedom-seeking peoples across the planet to liberate themselves and their resources from imperialist domination.
This is a call to resistance, a call to pick up the righteous mantle of struggle that has characterized our people since our first encounter with U.S. and European-imposed enslavement and the forcible expropriation of our right to be a self-determining people, equal among the free peoples of the world.
We must act because the Obama regime has expanded the U.S. wars against the peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan and continue to occupy Iraq against the will of the Iraqi people.
We must act because one out of every three young African men within the U.S. is tied to the profitable prison system. Our young people are placed there by an America that has never acknowledged its crimes of slavery, oppression and deprivation stemming from the brutal, genocidal economic exploitation of slavery, convict leasing, sharecropping and subhuman wages.
We must act because of the abandonment of black people in the Gulf Coast region before, during and after hurricane Katrina and other disasters.
We must act because of the millions of black people who lost their homes as a result of the predatory subprime mortgage scams that made billions of dollars for bankers and Wall Street.
We must act because of the unemployment—more than double the U.S. jobless rate—that stalks our community like a vicious lynch mob.
We must act because of the police killings and public policy of police containment that the presidency of Obama is designed to obscure.
We must act to demand reparations for the hundreds of years of slavery, colonial oppression, exploitation, terror and deprivations that continue to be experienced in the U.S. by African people to this day.
This reparations demand must be made loud and clear in the face of the trillions of dollars of bailout given the bankers and other ruling class institutions that owe their existence to the historical exploitation of African labor and resources.
We must act to declare that the political assassinations and jailings of our leaders did not destroy our will to resist and to win our freedom.
We must act as our statement to the world that Black is Back!
Join the march on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at Malcolm X Park, Washington, DC.
