Press Release – Black is Back, November 13 march and rally in Washington, DC

WASHINGTON, DC—The Black is Back Coalition has announced a march and rally on the White House to take place November 13, 2010 beginning in Washington, DC’s historic Malcolm X Park.

This will mark the second year in a row that this black Coalition will be protesting at the White House while Barack Obama, the first black US President, occupies it.

The rally and march are to protest Obama’s continuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the administration's funding and support through AFRICOM of the different proxy wars on the African Continent, especially Congo, Rwanda and Somalia.

This imperialist aggression goes hand in hand with the ever increasing war-like posture and police violence actions against African and other oppressed people here in the US, in Occupied Palestine and throughout the world.

The coalition's official name, The Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations first came together on September 12 2009.

Following its formation, on November 7 of last year the entire spectrum of black political activists – nationalists, communists, Muslims, Christians, socialists, etc. – came together in Washington, D.C., holding the first national anti-war protest against Obama’s continuation of unjust US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Since that time, the Black is Back Coalition held its National Consolidation Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida on January 2010; and a national march and rally in Miami, Florida on February of this year to oppose US troop occupation of Haiti immediately following the devastating January earthquake.

Also, the coalition participated in numerous anti-war protests, including the ANSWER-sponsored April mobilizations in Washington, DC and on the West Coast in San Francisco, California.

Black Agenda Report’s Glen Ford, a member of Black is Back National Steering Committee also represented the Coalition at the national conference United National Peace Conference held in Albany, New York in August this year.

In addition, Black is Back Steering Committee member Alex Morley of Black Food.org in The Bahamas also represented the Coalition at the 5th Congress of the African People’s Socialist Party-USA in Washington, D.C. in mid-July.

The Black is Back Coalition maintains that even since last year's anti-war demonstration, the Obama regime has deepened the US strategy of maintaining a permanent war footing against the struggling peoples of the world who are attempting to regain their stolen resources and restore their human dignity, both of which have been stolen through means of diabolical warfare by Western European and Obama led US warmongers.
