SUMMARY:Where are All the Jobs? Unemployment and Labor Exploitation Facing Black Women in DC (ASPE)
DESCRIPTION:Learning lessons from Black women in the Black Panther Party\, local struggles in DC\, and international liberation movements for alternatives \n\n\n\n\nAs unemployment\, unaffordability\, and displacement continue to deepen across Washington\, DC\, Black women remain among the most exploited and economically marginalized sectors of the working class. These conditions are not accidental but rooted in a long history of racial capitalism that pushed Black women into low-paying\, unstable labor while excluding them from wealth\, protections\, and economic control. \nThis Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) session will examine how the exploitation of Black women’s labor impacts entire communities\, including the ability to care for families\, the expansion of state surveillance through child welfare systems\, and broader systems of incarceration and displacement. Drawing from the organizing traditions of Black women in the Black Panther Party\, local struggles in DC\, and international liberation movements\, we will explore what democratic\, participatory\, and community-controlled alternatives could look like—from worker cooperatives and guaranteed childcare to women-led organizing structures capable of transforming our communities. \nFood will be provided!  \n PLEASE REGISTER \nAPSE sessions are hybrid with the option to participation in-person or via Zoom. When registering you are given the option to choose.

SUMMARY:ASPE: From DC to the Diaspora: African Liberation Day and the Struggle for Power
DESCRIPTION:This Assata Shakur Popular Education session\, in conjunction with the Black Alliance for Peace-DC\, will explore the history and political significance of African Liberation Day as a global expression of Pan-African unity\, anti-colonial struggle\, and Black self-determination. Together we will examine how liberation movements across Africa and the African Diaspora challenged colonialism\, imperialism\, and political repression while building movements rooted in collective power and international solidarity. The session will also connect these struggles to present-day conditions facing Black working-class communities in Washington\, D.C.\, including displacement\, disenfranchisement\, and the fight for community control. \nFood will be provided! Let us know you will be attending. Register here. \nThe ASPE are hybrid sessions with the option to participate via Zoom. To join via Zoom also use this link https://tinyurl.com/africansstudy
