Afro August | A Legacy Of Rebellion

Beautiful Beings and Bienvenido!

It is Afro August and we want to take a moment to celebrate with our community!

The festivities include

-actualizing by creating a culture of reparations, resource return, and self growth.

– a party. Singing, music, dancing, drumming to the rhythm of our ancient teachings.

-Ancestral altars. leave food, gratitude and praise offerings to those who fought for freedom.

– storytelling. Remembering our continued rebellion against enslavement, racialization, colonization, genderphobia and capitalism.

In a moment when governments, work spaces, corporations, and ignorant folks are calling for a return to the normal status quo, we remind you that:
There is nothing ‘normal’ about structural hate, economic exclusion, and the insidious ways that anti-blackness and hetero-cis-patriarchy continue to create systemic oppression in our lives and all other problematic things some have long referred to as normal.

Invest in Community Care

Politically Incarcerated Comrades

We honour Ruchell Magee, who is the longest serving political prisoner in Amerikkka after 59 years of unjust confinement. At 82 years old, he continues to organize for the liberation of Afro people. Learn about civil rights political prisoners especially queer ones.

By writing him a letter we can ease some of the loneliness, isolation, and dehumanization he faces. Writing prompt: Imagine our utopian future world founded on liberation for all including Nature. A world where Ruchell is back with his family, peers and community. How to write to incarcerated folks?
