On Thursday, we will be hosting a Political Education offering to connect the Anti-Imperialist work of Baltimore-based organizers from Coal Free Curtis Bay to the ongoing Anti-Imperialist Struggle occurring in the Alliance of Sahel States in West Africa. The Coalition For The Elimination of Imperialism in Africa will help us navigate current happenings on the continent.
On Friday, our monthly open mic returns! Hosted by Nicola Uatuva exploring the theme of “African Liberation Month”. African Liberation Day is celebrated yearly on May 25th to commemorate the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963. On this upcoming 63rd celebration, we will remember the ancestors responsible for leading liberatory efforts on the continent through storytelling and artistic expression! Come celebrate these visionary ancestors with us!

Cooperative businesses are a necessary, but insufficient, component of a solidarity economy that meets the needs of Baltimore’s black residents. We also need bottom-up political engagement that challenges US imperialism, capitalism, racism, sexism and traditional electoral politics. For black-led solidarity economy organizations and cooperatives to make a meaningful difference, they should support and/or participate in black-led, anti-imperialist political organizations that recognize the shortcomings of “black capitalism” as a viable path for broadly-felt, social transformation in Baltimore. Join these stellar panelists as they explore this question!
