On behalf of the New Afrikan People’s Organization and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, We send our deepest condolences to her family, the comrades and the extended family, all who made tremendous sacrifices to ensure she was free and now, remains forever free.

📣✊🏾THE D.C. CHAPTER OF THE MALCOLM X GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT (@mxgmnational ) DEMANDS THE VIRGINIA RETIREMENT SYSTEM DIVEST FROM WEAPONS AND WAR! Virginia has invested $300 million into weapons manufacturers and suppliers through the Virginia Retirement System. These are the companies that supply the genocide in Gaza and imperialist aggression across the world. We demand a say in where public money is invested. The bare minimum is that it does not go to corporations who profit off of war. We reject that our taxes and pensions are being used to increase their bottom line.

📣✊🏾SAVE THE DATE: People’s Assembly on Community Self‑Defense
This assembly will convene organizations and individuals engaged in supporting the physical, emotional, and social well‑being of our communities, as well as those organizing to challenge state violence and build alternative forms of community safety. The gathering will provide space to share resources, exchange lessons, and develop a shared assessment of the challenges our communities face.
Through the assembly, we aim to strengthen relationships among organizations committed to self-defense as an act of self‑determination and to explore how we can work together more effectively in defense of our communities. History reminds us that lasting safety and dignity are achieved through the collective efforts of the people themselves! Join us!
