🌍 As African Liberation Day approaches on May 25, it’s worth examining how the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) materially supported anti-colonial and anti-apartheid movements across the continent 👉🏽 from training revolutionaries to supplying arms and sharing development models rooted in Juche, the principle of self-reliance The DPRK’s solidarity with Africa served as a strategic cooperation between the Global South against a common enemy: Western imperialism and the apartheid regime it propped up. As U.S. empire enters its inevitable decline — stronger relations between Africa and the DPRK are more than possible. They’re necessary for building a multipolar world order based on sovereignty and socialism Forward Ever! 🫡 Sources and further reading: 🤎 @nodutdol | @aaprpinternational 🤎 https://www.iias.asia/the-newsletter/article/pyongyang-crossroads-afro-asian-cooperation 🤎 /2025/09/book-review-interrogating-north-koreas-role-in-africas-fight-for-freedom/ #AfricanLiberationDay #PanAfricanism #GlobalSouth #USOutOfAfrica #AfroAsianSolidarity

We stopped Amtrak from building a toxic vent by an elementary school in Baltimore. Amtrak told Bloomberg that they are eliminating the vent, “defus[ing] a fight with residents in West Baltimore who opposed the structure on the grounds that it would pollute the neighborhood.” Three years ago, we were told nothing could be done. But no matter what anyone says, GOD DECIDES. We are feeling deep gratitude for all the work that went into this, but the work continues.

Thank you all for your continued and dedicated support! Please dm us for any questions or concerns. 🫶

What do you dream for America for the next 250 years? 🌸⭐💭 "A [New] American Dream" won't give you the answers. Every gathering will put you in the room with others who care about what comes next. We'll figure it out together, in conversations sparked by cabaret, storytelling, screenprinting, panel discussions, poetry, and more. Because none of this works unless we're in relationship with each other, and relationships begin with conversation. And art is how we create the space for those conversations. The American Dream isn't over. That choice gets made in rooms like this one. Join curator @philippahughes_ and the Museum for a series of gatherings from May 20th - August 7th as America (and DC) marks its 250th year. While visiting, you'll engage with two art interactive installations: “these dreams belong to you and me” by Xena Ni (@msknee ) and “Hey, We Still Need To Talk!” by Philippa Pham Hughes.
