DESCRIPTION:Hear Gaida Kambon, National Secretary of the African People's Socialist 
 Party, report on the global struggle of African people from Oakland and New 
 Orleans to Freetown, and from St. Petersburg to Caracas.\n\nKambon will 
 give presentations based on her experience organizing internationally on 
 three different continents.  As part of the efforts to build a worldwide 
 organization of African people called the African Socialist International, 
 Kambon traveled in December to Makeni, Sierra Leone, and participated in a 
 conference with the Africanist Movement, an organization led by former 
 child soldier Chernoh Alpha M. Bah that spans seven different countries in 
 West Africa. \n\nWith the theme “Touch One, Touch All!,” the African 
 People’s Socialist Party is building unity amongst African people across 
 the globe. In January, Kambon attended the World Social Forum  in Caracas, 
 Venezuela, to connect with the struggle of nearly 140 million African 
 people who suffer from colonial oppression in South America. \n\nKambon has 
 been a fierce proponent of African independence for over 20 years.  In the 
 early 1990’s, as part of the “Tampa 5,” she challenged the attacks on 
 the African community of Tampa, FLA following the police murder of an 
 African man.  In 1996, she led campaigns to challenge to the brutal police 
 murder of TyRon Lewis, and helped to galvanize the whole African community 
 in St. Petersbrug, FLA to demand economic development, not police 
 containment. \n\nKambon organizes internationally to connect and unite the 
 struggles of African people for liberation and freedom.\n\n$5-25 donation 
 requested; nobody turned away for lack of funds. \n
