Sanford, FL––The International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) descended on a Black Lives Matter (BLM) Rally in the small city of Sanford on July 17th.

The rally was held at the Sanford police station which sits in the heart of Historic Goldsboro, Sanford's oldest African neighborhood.

BATON ROUGE—Three Baton Rouge cops were killed and three more injured, one critically, on Sunday morning of July 17, 2016.

The person that the cops say was responsible for the shooting was an African man named Cosmo Ausar Setepenra. Ruling class media still calls Cosmo by his birth name, Gavin Eugene Long.

Cosmo was martyred by Baton Rouge cops, but not before first taking out three of theirs.

The incident started at about 8:40 a.m. EST. Baton Rouge cops received a call that a man wearing all black and wearing a black ski mask was walking alongside a road while carrying an assault rifle.

Two minutes later, the pigs made contact with the African man that we now know to be Cosmo. It was then that the shootout began.

NEW YORK—Ramsey Orta, the 24-year-old man who videotaped the murder of Eric Garner by NYPD, will now be serving a 4-year prison sentence.

PHILADELPHIA, PA––African activist and mother Natasha Danielle (aka Kianga) was ordered to appear in family court in 2012 to address her ex-husband’s abuse allegations. 

He accused her of harming their three-year-old daughter, Ngozi, after he saw a scratch on her belly.  

Kianga, who shared custody of Ngozi with her ex-husband, went to court believing that the charges would be thrown out because the scratch was a result of everyday activities and not trauma. 

What happened at the courthouse instead was a political ambush spearheaded by white lawyer, Deborah Truscello, who used Kianga’s political work around the case of political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal as the reason to strip Kianga of her parental rights for three years. 

The judge threatened Kianga with imprisonment if she attempted to see her child. 

TAMPA––Black Lives Matter held a demonstration and a march at the Lykes Gaslight Park on July 11, 2016. The demonstration was held in response to the murders of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, LA and Philando Castillo in Chicago by police. The Uhuru Movement made it a point to be at that demonstration.

The Uhuru Movement did not go to fight racism or to remind anyone that we matter. We went to spread the ideas of African Internationalism, the theory of the African (black) working to the masses of Africans who gathered in search of answers to ending the genocide being committed against us in the form of police murders.
