SUMMARY:The 60th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party - ASPE
DESCRIPTION:Join PACA for an upcoming Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) examining the Black Panther Party’s origins\, political vision\, and organizing—from armed self-defense and Survival Programs to internationalism and community control. Moving beyond romanticized images and popular misconceptions\, we’ll critically explore the Panthers’ strategies\, contradictions\, and shortcomings to draw lessons for organizing today. We’ll also discuss COINTELPRO and how tactics of state repression have evolved and continue to affect movements. Together\, we’ll consider how the Panthers’ struggles for community control inform the vision we are building through Community Control DC. \nFood will be provided! \nThe ASPE are hybrid sessions with the option to participate via Zoom. To join via Zoom use this link https://tinyurl.com/africansstudy

SUMMARY:Transit Solidarity Program
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, thousands of Washington\, DC residents rely on Metro to get to work\, school\, medical appointments\, grocery stores\, and care for their families. But for many working-class residents—especially in Wards 7 and 8—the rising cost of transportation has become another barrier to meeting basic needs. At the same time\, increased fare enforcement has placed additional burdens on communities already facing high housing costs\, unemployment\, displacement\, and economic inequality.  \nTransit Solidarity is a mutual aid initiative of the Pan-African Community Action (PACA) that helps keep our neighbors moving by distributing donated and community-funded SmarTrip cards while organizing for a transportation system that serves people—not profit.  \nEvery second Saturday of the month at the Anacostia Metro Station. In this month of October\, however\, it will be on the third Saturday.

SUMMARY:People's Pan-African Wellness Front - Health Services for the People by the People
DESCRIPTION:D.C.’s healthcare system\, like the rest of the U.S.\, is profit-driven and structurally racist. Black residents—especially those east of the Anacostia River—suffer from higher rates of chronic illness and maternal mortality and life expectancy gaps of over 15 years compared to white residents. Pan-African Community Action (PACA) has launched a revolutionary survival program to provide practical services while building political power. The People’s Pan-African Wellness Front (PPWF) is a community-based grassroots program led by PACA to confront the health disparities impacting African/Black working-class communities in Southeast Washington\, D.C. Inspired by revolutionary legacies like the Black Panther Party’s People’s Free Medical Clinics and the Cuban healthcare model\, this program seeks to deliver immediate relief while organizing toward long-term self-determination and community control of health. \nThe PPWF will provide: \n\nFree high blood pressure screenings\nFree glucose tests (diabetes screening) (available upon request)\nFree hygiene products and medical supplies\nFree health information and guidance for preventative care\nFree fresh produce\n\nAs well as political education on community control of health and radical health programs\, including the Black Panther Party’s Free Medical Clinics and the Lincoln Detox Center. Medical professionals will also be available to answer health-related questions. Come out March 22nd either to receive services and/or to learn how to come involved with later phases of the program to scale up services\, expand into more neighborhoods\, and anchor broader campaigns around community control. This effort is part of PACA’s broader strategy to build forums for participatory democracy and build a mass movement for power. \nThis is more than a health program—it’s a step toward Black self-determination. We welcome healthcare workers\, students\, community members\, and all who are ready to organize\, learn\, and build power. \nAt this PPWF\, PACA will host a teach-in on Cuban Medical Solidarity with Africa and the ELAM Medical Program from 2:30-3:30pm\, as a contribution to this month’s Pan-African Solidarity Campaign for Cuba.

SUMMARY:U.S. AFRICOM Out of Africa — ASPE
DESCRIPTION:Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for this Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) session\, where we will examine AFRICOM’s role in advancing U.S. imperialism and neocolonialism across Africa. We will explore how African political elites enable Western military intervention\, repression\, and destabilization at the expense of working-class Africans. We will challenge the narratives used to justify AFRICOM’s presence\, including claims of promoting security\, democracy\, and countering Chinese influence. Finally\, we will connect these struggles to Black working-class communities in D.C. and discuss how Pan-African organizing can advance African liberation and self-determination. \nFood will be provided! \nThe ASPE are hybrid sessions with the option to participate via Zoom. REGISTER HERE
