The Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) is the organization of white people formed by and working under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) with the mission of going into the white community to organize white people to stand in solidarity with African people in the U.S. and abroad.

White people, we need to take responsibility.

It is with our permission, whether through silence and complicity or through open approval and even hero worship of law enforcement, that the State carries out the murders of Africans every 28 hours.

HUNTSVILLE, AL––After almost two years of fundraising and planning, and with tremendous support from dedicated AAPDEP members and supporters, the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) and the wider Uhuru Movement, Zenzele Consignment opened for its first official day of business on Saturday, August 13, 2016!

CALIFORNIA––Twenty-eight-year-old San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a stand on the side of Africans and other oppressed people around the world on Friday, August 26th by refusing to stand for the national anthem at Friday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

Colin, the biological child of a white woman and an African man, was adopted at five weeks old and raised by a white couple. Despite this, he has firmly stated that he is “a representative of the African community.”

This is the third time that Colin has refused to stand for the national anthem before a pre-season game.

With this third act of resistance Colin has put his football career and endorsements on the line, and has upset the general white population––some of which have burned their Kaepernick jersey in protest. Colonial media is also in a frenzy.

Colin has since come out to say that they can take football and his endorsements away, but he has to stand for what he believes in. He is also reported as saying that he has been thinking for a while of what he could do to speak out.

The African community of St. Petersburg, Florida came out in droves on Sunday August 21, 2016 for Burning Spear Media’s event, “Black August: Celebrating African Resistance––From Haiti to Ferguson.”

Editor's Note: James McLynas, who originally published the article below on his blog mclynas4sheriff.com, is running for sheriff of Pinellas County against the current sheriff Robert “Killer Bob” Gualtieri in the county primary election Tuesday August 30.

Gualtieri heads up the brutal colonial sheriff’s department and has the blood of the Dominique Battle, 16, La’Niya Miller, 15, and Ashaunti Butler, 15 on his hands. Gualtieri defended and upheld serial murderer deputy Howard Skaggs and other deputies after the deputies pursued and then murdered the three African girls in a high speed chase on March 31 of this year. The deputies murdered the girls by pushing their car into a pond in what is called the Pit maneuver.

Gualtieri stated that the deputies at the scene attempted to go into the water to save the dying girls, something that the videos later proved to be a bold-faced lie since the murderer Skaggs is recorded as standing back and casually remarking, “I thought I heard yelling as they are going down but they’re done. They are f--king done,” after the screams of the girls died down.

For two days, August 13th and 14th, Africans from throughout the U.S. convened in Philadelphia at the First Unitarian Church to attend a historic conference. 

This conference was the clearest demonstration yet that the struggle for our liberation has reached a new height.

A coalition of more than 50 black organizations rebranded under the “Movement for Black Lives” (M4BL) released its policy platform on August 1st. Titled "Vision 4 Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice,” it is said to be the outcome of a conference in Cleveland a year prior.

While the proverbial high fives were slapped at the unveiling of the platform, it was also revealed that the Ford Foundation will be funding a whopping $100 million dollars to directly support the Movement for Black Lives.

A group of black mothers who are known because of the murders of their children at the hands of police and white vigilantes have been branded “The Mothers of the Movement” by the Hillary Clinton campaign. 

The group, which includes the mothers of Michael Brown Jr., Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Jordan Davis, debuted their unnatural brand through Clinton’s campaign, as a strategy to help Clinton win the black vote.
