> New Anarchist People of Color Caucus Forming
>
> A new People of Color Caucus, affiliated with the Anarchist Black Cross
> Federation, is in the midst of forming and welcomes the input and
> participation of anarchist people of color everywhere.
>
> Tentatively, the objectives of the People of Color Caucus are:
> - To give a place for people of color in the anarchist movement and
> revolutionaries of color generally to strategize, network and organize
> solutions relating to their history, experiences and communities.
> - To strive for and build principled unity among all our comrades in the
> struggle for freedom, autonomy, self-determination and revolution.
> - To address the issues faced by people of color, such.as criminalization,
> incarceration, colonialism, white supremacy and the counterinsurgency we
> face and relate such with the struggle for freedom for Political Prisoners
> and Prisoners of War.
> - To give support of and solidarity to the thousands of people of color,
> including prison organizers and "politicized" prisoners, who are captives
> of a system built on centuries of oppression.
>
> Membership to the People of Color Caucus is open, but we ask for everyone
> to respect the importance of people of color organizing revolutionary
> solutions from their own perspectives and with solutions relating to their
> respective communities. Unquestionably, people of color have struggled
with
> 500 years of exploitation, and hence our experiences relating to
oppression
> are qualitatively different. We encourage people of European descent to
> form study groups and discuss ways to confront white supremacy and skin
> privilege.
>
> ABCF member groups receive complimentary copies of the Caucus' publication
> "Break It Down," while others are provided subscriptions on a sliding
> scale, based on need. We ask all who can afford it to at least contribute
> stamps to the effort.
