The African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSC) will hold its annual International Conference on January 6-8, 2013.
The APSC is the organization of white people working in the white communities under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party, which leads the worldwide movement for African liberation, unification and socialism.
The Conference will feature Omali Yeshitela, Chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party and founder of the Uhuru Movement, and Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People’s Solidarity Committee.
The APSC International Conference offers a unique chance for white people to come together in the presence of the African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela and other Party leaders to understand what is happening in the world and to join the rest of humanity in overturning this oppressive system.
In Florida, African people live under oppressive conditions that demand solidarity from the white community.
Tampa police recently gunned down 16-year-old Javon Neal and refused him medical attention as he bled to death. Miami police have shot dead scores of African people in the last two years, and white vigilante violence has resulted in the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, both innocent teenagers. Eric Oliver of Bronson, Florida, heroically defended his family against a white lynch mob attack on his home and faced state persecution for standing his ground, a right which the state reserves for whites only.
In Florida and all around the world, African and all oppressed people are rising up in resistance. The Conference will provide white people with a dynamic opportunity to play a role in this powerful social and political transformation.
The Conference will include presentations on African Internationalism, the guiding political theory of the Uhuru Movement, theoretical and practical aspects of building the solidarity movement, and a Community Forum on the current political and economic situation in Obama’s second term.
