Black Women and Anti-Imperialism Webinar

 

Black Alliance for Peace member Erica Caines hosted an October 7, 2020, webinar, "Black Women and Anti-Imperialism," which was described as: "A very necessary webinar highlighting the symbiotic relationship that exists between the military industrial complex and militarized policing emphasizing why Black women residing within the US SHOULD care. ⁣ ⁣ In the last 10 years, as the expansion of US imperialism increased, coinciding with the increase of police repression backed by department of defense programs, there has been a deliberate attack on internationalism making it harder for colonized people in the US to understand why and how what happens abroad directly affects us here—especially Black women in the binds of triple oppression. ⁣ ⁣ We’ll be discussing the history of Black women radicals and anti imperialist movements in the US, what imperialism is and what it looks like domestically, internationalism and AFRICOM. ⁣ ⁣ Featured panelists include: ⁣ -Nnennaya Amuchie of # 8ToAbolition⁣ -Asantewaa Nkrumah-Ture of Black Alliance For Peace and Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign in Philadelphia -Onyesonwu Chatoyer of All African People’s Revolutionary Party- New Mexico, Anti-War Coalition of Albuquerque and Hood Communist Blog⁣"
