SUMMARY:#Justice4Zo: Building The Movement for Community Control
DESCRIPTION:Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for an interactive Assata Shakur Study Group session.\n\n\nJanuary 2 marks the birthday of Alonzo (Zo) Fiero Smith\, whose killing by DC Special Police exposed the deep failures of systems that deny communities control over their own safety. The #Justice4Zo campaign launched in 2016 became a catalyst for the formation of PACA\, Pan-African Community Action\, and helped advance a local struggle for community control over policing in DC. Join PACA next Wednesday to examine the political origins of the Justice for Zo campaign and its role in building organized power beyond reform-based responses. This session will focus on how PACA continues to develop a movement for community control through political education\, organizing\, and collective action. \nDue to expected harsh weather conditions\, this ASSG will be on Zoom only. Register for it here https://tinyurl.com/AfricansStudy \n—————————————————– \n\n\nPan-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.

SUMMARY:Mobilization\, Organization\, and Developing a Mass Movement - Assata Shakur Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Crises produced by capitalism and imperialism repeatedly drive people into the streets—from mass protests against ICE raids to uprisings responding to police violence and war abroad. This session unpacks why people mobilize in moments of pressure and contradiction\, what mobilization can and cannot accomplish on its own\, and how these moments are often captured or redirected by political elites and counterinsurgent forces. Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) to examine concrete examples of recent mobilizations to assess what “winning” has looked like in practice and why many movements dissipate once the moment passes. The discussion will focus on why mobilization must be linked to durable organization in order to build real community power and sustain long-term struggles for liberation. \nFood will be provided! \n\nPan-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.

SUMMARY:Unpacking the History of the Black Radical Tradition
DESCRIPTION:The Black Radical Tradition is a historical current of organized struggle rooted in socialist\, Pan-African\, internationalist\, and decolonial politics that confronts racial capitalism\, internal colonialism\, and imperial domination. This session unpacks how that tradition has been systematically whitewashed and commodified\, reducing revolutionary movements and figures into harmless symbols while erasing their politics\, organizations\, and strategies. We will examine concrete examples of organized resistance—from RAM and the Panthers to international solidarities with Haiti\, Cuba\, and Palestine—to assess how different tactics emerged from real material conditions and what they achieved in practice. \nThe discussion will focus on how today’s movements\, including Pan-African Community Action’s (PACA’s) work for community control and Pan-African unity\, must reclaim this lineage and build durable organization capable of resisting liberal cooptation and sustaining long-term struggles for liberation. \nLight snacks and refreshments will be provided! \nThis is a hybrid event with an option to participate online. Select the appropriate option when you register. If you select the option to participate on Zoom\, an access link will be emailed to you on the day of the event. \nIf attending in person\, please wear a mask and don’t come if you’re sick!
