4. A LOOK AHEAD TO 2012: A YEAR OF REVOLUTION AND REPARATIONS!
This conference will lay out the exciting activist work of the African People's Solidarity Committee for the upcoming year of 2012 as the Uhuru Movement continues to build revolutionary organizations on multiple fronts throughout the world. Upcoming events, projects, actions, marches, fundraisers, campaigns, conferences, and plans will be discussed in a workshop called, “2012: Revolutionary transformation, not reform!” This is your opportunity to hear first hand from the organizers in the APSC about the work of the upcoming year and learn how you can get involved.
5. LET'S GET ORGANIZED! TRAININGS & WORKSHOPS FOR ACTIVISTS
This conference is not just a talkfest. The APSC is first and foremost an organization built for the purpose of material solidarity – solidarity through action, not just in words. The national conference will feature workshops and trainings for organizers on how to build and sustain organization through recruitment strategies and sustainable membership. APSC organizers will also lead a study of the organizing manual of the African People's Socialist Party, a historically significant document that has served as a powerful tool in the hands of the revolutionary leadership of the African working class. This training will focus on how the principles in the manual can be applied to the work of the solidarity movement.
If you believe that African people have a right to self-determination and freedom and that white people can take a stand in solidarity by working under the leadership of the African Revolution, then now is the time to register for the national conference of the African People's Solidarity Committee, January 8-10, in St Petersburg, FL.
