The Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) will hold its annual national conference on March 11-12, 2023 in St. Louis, Missouri to organize white people in defense of the African community’s right to fight for freedom!
The conference is part of the counter-offensive to the July 29, 2022 pre-dawn raids on African People’s Socialist Party (APSP), in which the U.S. government carried out the most serious attack on the Black Liberation Movement since the 1960s.
During the raids, federal agents used battering rams, flash bang grenades, drones and assault rifles on APSP Chairman Omali Yeshitela and Deputy Chair Ona Zené Yeshitela and handcuffed them outside their home in North St. Louis, Missouri. Concurrently, the FBI raided six other homes and offices of Uhuru Movement leaders.
Included in this raid was the Uhuru Solidarity Center in South St. Louis, a building owned by the APSP and the base for USM to organize for white solidarity with black power. The U.S. government has announced its intention to indict Yeshitela and put the Uhuru Movement on trial, using the bogus, racist charge that they are “Russian agents”.
USM calls on white people who are ready to take action for African freedom to register for the National Convention.
Says USM Chair Jesse Nevel, “Stop the legal lynching of Chairman Omali Yeshitela. Refuse to stand by while the U.S. attempts to imprison and kill Chairman Yeshitela as they did to Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Fred Hampton and others. It is time for the millions of white people who marched for justice for George Floyd in 2020 to recommit ourselves to the stand of genuine solidarity with the anti-colonial struggle of African people. It is time to organize!”
The Convention will feature keynote presentations by APSP Chairman Omali Yeshitela, African People’s Solidarity Committee Chairwoman Penny Hess, USM Chair Jesse Nevel and other Uhuru Movement leaders. Participants will learn how to become active organizers for unity through reparations to African people.
