For a massive show of solidarity and unity with the oppressed people of the world

November 13th March & Rally - Malcolm X

Park Washington, DC

The election of the first black president of the United States – Barack Hussein Obama – has not ended the suffering of our people or U.S. injustices around the world. In fact, the only change we have experienced is an intensification of the exploitation and oppression of black people and oppressed people worldwide, by the global white power machine.

While the U.S. Congress has given Wall Street and the auto industry trillions of dollars, the same Congress refuses to repair the legacy of slavery for descendants of enslaved Africans or prevent “ethnic cleansing” of black people in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina.

Every day, our people suffer police brutality and murder, unjust imprisonment, depression-level unemployment, underemployment, slave labor in the thousands of U.S. prison camps, disenfranchisement, evictions, foreclosures, and homelessness. And there is no health care to speak of.

African people who dedicated their lives to the freedom struggle during the 1960’s still rot in U.S. prisons, and U.S. wars have expanded beyond the African community in the U.S., to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and now threaten Venezuela, Iran, and the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea.

Under Obama there has been an escalation of the establishment of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), a comprehensive military presence of African soil to defend the capitalist imposed status quo in Africa against efforts of African liberation and their own imperialist competitors.

Under the Obama regime the proxy wars in Africa continue along with the promotion of U.S. imperialist foreign policy objectives that require the permanent subjugation of African people for its ongoing success.

And under Obama, the UN Military forces, including U.S. Marines still illegally occupy the Republic of Haiti, and the U.S. and European funded war in the Congo that has caused millions of African lives has no let up in sight.

In Washington, D.C. on November 13th, beginning at historic Malcolm X Park, the imperialist policies of the Obama regime will be countered with a massive show of solidarity and unity with the oppressed people of the world.

This will be the second consecutive year that the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace, and Reparations (BIB) is calling on all African working people, youth, students, immigrants, trade unionist, community and human rights activists, the indigenous and Chicano/Mexicano people, and all freedom loving people opposed to neocolonial violence and oppression to participate in the Rally and March in Washington D.C. on November 13th, 2010.
