The newly founded Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) and the United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC) issued a joint statement denouncing U.S. âdestabilizationâ and âattempts to cause regime changeâ in Venezuela. âWe share the objective to revive the anti-war movement -- the anti-imperialist movement in the U.S.,â said BAP organizer Ajamu Baraka, the veteran human rights activist and 2016 Green Party vice presidential candidate. âWe are, of course, committed to peace, but we understand that there can be no peace without justice, and that means people have to be prepared for struggle,â said Baraka.
âIsrael is massacring Palestinian civilians again, but âthe UNââmeaning the Security Councilâhas no power to stop it.â
âAnti-colonial nationalism is the antithesis of US imperial rule, which is predicated to the unmitigated corporate and military plunder of the planet.â
âIt is impossible to understand, or even fully appreciate, how black women have shaped national and global politics today without knowing the larger history.â
âThis moment we are living through has infinite possibilities, and not all of those possibilities include the existence of humans.â
âOne effective method of attacking the imperialist infrastructure is to drain its pool of enforcers by organizing a total boycott of the U.S. military.â
