Black Is Back Coalition: Fight US Imperialism at Home and Abroad

The Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations will mark its tenth anniversary with a march on the White House and national conference under the banner, ā€œTurn Imperialist Wars Into Wars Against Imperialism.ā€ Although Donald Trump and Barack Obama are very different presidents, the enemy remains the same: US imperialism, says Coalition chairman Omali Yeshitela. ā€œIt’s necessary, not just to simply protest and condemn what the US government is doing, but to open up new fronts of struggle here in the United States,ā€ said Yeshitela.

US Cops Act Like Soldiers, While US Soldiers Police the World

Local police and foreign-deployed US militaries both practice a kind of ā€œcommunity policingā€ designed to control and gather intelligence on occupied populations, said Dererka Purnell, a movement lawyer, writer and activist. Purnell recently published an article in War and Peace, titled ā€œMass Shootings, Militarism and Policing are Chapters in the Same Manifesto.ā€

Pelosi Slow to Impeach Trump, But Quick to Collaborate With Him

Shahid Buttar, a lifelong activist who is trying to unseat Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi in her home district of San Francisco, says Pelosi ā€œhas actively enabledā€ the Trump administration by submitting to congressional restrictions on social spending while ā€œsupporting Trump’s foreign policy and international violations of human rights.ā€ Buttar is the former director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee.

Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network is hosted by Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey. A new edition of the program airs every Monday at 11:am ET on PRN. Length: one hour.
