On Sat. Oct. 16, 2021, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) is hosting a March for Reparations to African People in five cities across the U.S.  The march is part of a decades-long campaign calling on white people to go beyond protest and get organized under the leadership of the African working class. Oakland’s march will begin in Snow Park near Lake Merritt (19th and Harrison) at 11:00 am. It will feature speakers from the African People’s Socialist Party, African People’s Solidarity Committee, Uhuru Furniture and Collectibles, and more.

Oakland, CA : On Saturday October 16, 2021, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) is hosting a March for Reparations to African People in five cities across the U.S.  The march is part of a decades-long campaign calling on white people to go beyond protest and get organized under the leadership of the African working class. Oakland’s march will begin in Snow Park near Lake Merritt (19th and Harrison) at 11:00 am.

USM is the mass organization of white people formed by and working under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP): the worldwide revolutionary party of the African working class, fighting for liberation and self-determination. Through the theory of African Internationalism-- the theory of Chairman Omali Yeshitela, founder of APSP and the International Uhuru Movement. We understand that white people have been benefiting from a system of parasitism - latching on to the labor and resources of African people for hundreds of years. We are in complicity with the US government, prioritizing our own comfort and continuing to thrive at the expense of their livelihood and well-being.

We say “No More!” As white people, we must take a stand in solidarity with the Black community’s uprisings after the brutal police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Walter Wallace and countless others.
We call on all white people to march in unity with the righteous struggle of African people to take political and economic control over their lives and resources so that never will another African life be destroyed by colonial police and white nationalist killers.

This is not a fight against racism: the ideas of black people in white people’s minds; this is a stance of solidarity with the black struggle for freedom over their own black lives to feed, clothe and house themselves. We must support their fight for economic and political power in their own hands.
