DESCRIPTION:On October 17th, 2020, thousands of white people will march in support of 
 reparations to the black community in cities across the U.S., including San 
 Diego, as part of the National March for Reparations to African People.  
 \n\nIn face of the rampant police terror against black people in the U.S., 
 including the recent shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the 
 March for Reparations calls on white people to stand for justice and 
 reparations to the black community. \n\nThe African People’s Socialist 
 Party has initiated this historic campaign tasking the Uhuru Solidarity 
 Movement - the white activist organization under its leadership - to 
 coordinate marches in at least eight cities including:\nMinneapolis, 
 MO\nNew York, NY\nBoston, MA\nPhiladelphia, PA\nSt. Petersburg, FL,\nSt. 
 Louis, MO\nPortland, OR\nSan Diego, CA \n\nThe organizers describe the 
 March for Reparations as “the way for white people to take a genuine 
 stand in solidarity with the heroic black community uprisings that swept 
 the country after the brutal police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor 
 and Ahmaud Arbery and so many others.”\n\nThe March for Reparations has 
 issued a set of demands that includes pressuring Bank of America and other 
 Wall Street banks to pay reparations to an “anti-colonial black economic 
 development program” called the Black Power Blueprint. Also included in 
 the demands is a stop to all U.S. wars, immediate release of political 
 prisoners, and solidarity with Indigenous liberation. This includes 
 supporting the “Free Denzel” campaign of the San Diego International 
 People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement to protest the jailing of local 
 protester Denzel, whose bail has been set as high as that for people 
 alleged of committing multiple homicides! \n\nThe San Diego March will 
 conclude at 6th and Laurel with a rally featuring speakers from the Black 
 Liberation Movement. There will be socially distanced vendors, culture, 
 raffles and food. We will do a call for donations as reparations to African 
 People. We ask all participants to wear masks.\n\nThe March for Reparations 
 is also a fundraising campaign through its website: 
 https://fundly.com/march-for-reparations/ to generate material support for 
 the Black Power Blueprint and other economic development and 
 self-determination programs of the African People’s Socialist Party. \n 
 \nNational organizer Jesse Nevel stated, “It is time for white people to 
 break the silence and march for reparations. We must refuse to be complicit 
 with our own government’s crimes against the black community. Stand in 
 solidarity with oppressed people by waging a struggle with our own ruling 
 class to pay reparations.” \nVIDEO TRAILER:
