Every year at this time we recommit ourselves to the path of revolution and liberation laid out for us by Dr. King and the long lineage of Black freedom fighters who came before us.
This year as Israel’s brutal siege and genocide on Gaza continues, we will continue to be in full solidarity with our Palestinian siblings and comrades in their calls for a ceasefire and end to the occupation. APTP acknowledges that Black liberation and Palestinian liberation are tied together, and that none of us will be free until all our people are free!
Our movement for Black liberation is in fierce solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle.
Dr. King’s legacy of radical direct action teaches us that real change comes from the people. For decades Oakland has been at the vanguard in the fight for Black liberation. It’s time we reclaim that legacy. Fighting for liberation is Town Business!
