Black August was established in the California prison system in the early 1970s by men and women of the Black Liberation Movement. Black August holds great significance in the African tradition of resistance against white supremacy in the United States. Some revolutionary events that took place in August include the Nat Turner rebellion (1831), the beginning of The Underground Railroad (1850), the birth of Marcus Garvey (1887) and the March on Washington (1963). The most significant event to the founders of Black August was the assassination of George Jackson in August (1971).
Every year thousands of people are improperly stopped, detained, arrested, brutalized and even murdered by the police. Young people of Afrikan descent are frequent targets of the cops. Although most cops don’t respect them, you do have legal rights.
IF THE COPS STOP YOU:
Stay calm and be cool.
Don’t physically resist.
Don’t run! If you do, you may be shot and even killed.
Give your name and address but you don't have to give any other information.
THE LESS YOU SAY THE BETTER.
Although
it may be difficult, try to remember the badge number, name and a
physical description of the cop(s) who stopped or arrested you.
As Malcolm X taught us the basis of revolution is land. We as the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) have just purchased 25 acres in Lowndes County Alabama (The place of the first usage of the Black Panther as symbol of Black Power and Resistance to White Supremacy).
We see this land as liberated territory in our struggle for self-determination. The land will be developed to be a permanent camp site, a retreat center, farming/gardening center, and a base of operations for continued grassroots organizing in the black belt south.
The New Afrikan Scouts (NAS) is a dynamic national youth program sponsored by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement consisting of youth (male and female) of Afrikan descent who ages range from 6-17 years old. NAS was formed to give identity, direction and purpose to our youth and to combat some of the obstacles placed in the paths of our children. By working with the NAS, we are making a sincere effort to instill discipline and an understanding of what it means to go through the stages of childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. We are helping our youth rise to meet the challenges of being young in these times and in this place.
Our activities include basic survival techniques (both rural and urban), drilling, arts and crafts, political education and other cultural/community activities. Through their involvement in the NAS our youth will develop their sense of self-esteem, community awareness, and overall commitment to the liberation of our people. We also hope to encourage in our Scouts a love 'supreme for our families, elders, ancestors, communities and all Afrikan people.
Our fortitude and seriousness will be greatly enhanced by the support of everyone - the parents, the community and the Black Nation. If you, your child, or someone you know are between the ages of 6 and 17, have them join the New Afrikan Scouts! By contacting us at

As part of our dedication in fighting for self determination, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement has initiated the Community Education Project, a community workshop series. This series consists of nine focused and informative workshops on issues faced by Black/New Afrikans in America.
"Education is our Passport to the Future, for Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today."
A committee within MXGM which opposes any form of oppression that limits girls and women from becoming self-determining individuals and reaching their fullest potential. As a manifestation of our sixth principle of unity (ending sexist oppression), NAWC recognizes that cultural, economic, political and social institutions, practices and beliefs limit the human worth of our girls and women. We NAWC will actively struggle for the liberation of the New Afrikan Nation –By Any Means Necessary!
New York Task Force on Political Prisoners (NYTFPP) is a collective of attorneys, former political prisoners, politicians, activists, clergy, and political prisoners family members dedicated to providing legal, organizing and technical support to New York's incarcerated political activists.
The Peoples’ Self-Defense Campaign (PSDC) observes, documents, and prevents incidents of police misconduct and brutality through educating and organizing our community and supporting survivors/victims of this misconduct.
Vision: PSDC recognizes the right of all people to live free of oppression and human rights violations, as well as any community’s right to observe and document abuse. People in communities of color are routinely stopped, searched, and detained without probable cause or reasonable suspicion. We believe that increased community control is one solution to this problem.
Resistance has always been a part of the African experience in the so called "New world". In the midst of the middle passage, Afrikans fought their captors in more than 155 mutinies. Once on the shores of America and in chattel slavery, Afrikans continued to engage in acts of resistance, from teaching themselves to read, to escaping from plantations, to plotting rebellions insurrections, revolts, arson and run-aways.
Is to reignite black radical politics on college, university campuses and academic settings in this country and abroad. The SC also acts as a network of support for MXGM members attending school to ensure that they are involved and active within MXGM work and dialogue. We work to build a progressive student movement that will workto eliminate oppression upon peoples of African descent/New Afrikans within the United States and abroad. Understanding the historical roll that students have played in the Black Freedom Struggle.
... is the battle cry of the New Afrikan Independence Movement (NAIM).
The NAIM is part of the Black liberation Movement in North Amerikka that wants independent Black Nation on land in north amerikka. The land identified by the New Afrikan Independence Movement is primarily known as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, as well as other areas of what is now called the Black-Belt South, where Afrikan people are in the majority or have a historical/economical/socio-cultural relationship to. When we say “Free the Land” this is the land we are talking about freeing. Malcolm X once stated:“Revolutions are fought to get control of land, to remove the absentee landlord, and gain control of the land and institutions that flow from the land. The Black [Nation] has been in a very low condition because [it] has no control whatsoever over the land.” He later stated:“A true Negro revolt might entail, for instance, fighting for separate Blacks states within this country…”
The term “New Afrika” designates us not just as a group or a collective but as a Nation. We claim nationhood and sovereignty at this time and in this place!
