Oakland, CA–During January and February of 2013, the International President of the International Peoples Democratic Uhuru Movement, Diop Olugbala will embark on the international “Protect and Defend Our Own” tour.
The tour events will serve as local African Community Conventions (ACCs).
Some of the main goals of the ACCs will be to unite and organize the African community, while mobilizing Africans from different areas to attend InPDUM’s upcoming International Convention on March 23-24, 2013 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The theme of this year’s International Convention is “One Africa! One Nation! Protect and Defend Our Own Through Organized Resistance!”
The tour will go to at least eight different cities in North America and several more in Europe.
The ACCs in Europe will feature a live presentation by President Olugbala via the internet.
The following are the main panel discussions we want to hold during the “Protect and Defend Our Own” tour:
Protect and ORGANIZE the African Woman! Defend and Organize the African Community!
