ABOUT THE PARTERING ORGANIZATIONS

The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement is an organization of Afrikans in America/New Afrikans whose mission is to defend the human rights of our people and promote self-determination in our community. We understand that the collective institutions of whitesupremacy, patriarchy and capitalism have been at the root of our people’s oppression.

Pan-African Community Action (PACA) is part of the historic and global movement for Pan-Africanism, or the liberation and unification of Africa and of African people on the continent and in the diaspora, under the economic system of scientific socialism. As part of the Pan-African movement, PACA is a grassroots group of African/Black people organizing for community-based power.
