From July 10–14, community activists from throughout the U.S. will converge on Washington, D.C. for the 5th Congress of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP). An organization with philosophical roots in the teachings of Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X, the APSP will unveil its program to address the current crises facing black communities across the U.S., including the unprecedented loss of homes through the subprime fraud, skyrocketing unemployment reaching 50% in some urban areas, increasingly widespread accounts of police brutality and discriminatory incarceration in private for-profit prisons.

International allies of the black freedom struggle will also be present at the Congress, including Marcos Garcia, the Labor Attache of the Venezuelan Embassy; Ernesto Bustillos of Union del Barrio, a Chicano-Mexicano rights organization in southern California; and a representative of the Nicaraguan Embassy.

The Congress will take place at the Kellogg Center, located at 800 Florida Ave. NE on the Gallaudet University Campus in Washington, D.C. and is open to the public. For more information or to register, visit apspcongress.org or call 727-821-6620.
