What everyone needs to know about the U.S. government attack on the Uhuru Movement and the African liberation struggle:

1. What happened on July 29, 2022?
   See the video of the attacks
   • On July 29th the U.S. government attacked the African People’s Socialist Party
     with a violent FBI attack on 7 offices and homes of APSP and Uhuru Movement,
     leaders including the home of Chairman Omali Yeshitela and Deputy Chair Ona
     Zené Yeshitela in St. Louis, the Uhuru House in St. Pete, the Uhuru Solidarity
     Center in St. Louis.
   • Chairman, Deputy Chair Ona Zené, and others were handcuffed with assault
     rifles pointed at them. The FBI used flash bang grenades, drones, battering rams,
     breaking down doors, windows, stealing property, computers, phones, files,
     archives.
     
     
2. The real basis for the attack
   • The Party was attacked because it has always fought for the liberation of Africa
     and African people everywhere and is a global anti-colonial organization.
   • This happens at a time when the Party and the Black Power Blueprint are at new heights of success after 50 years of relentless leadership fighting for
     African Liberation.
   • The FBI made the false, insulting allegations that the Chairman and the Party
     were under “Russian malign influence” in running African electoral candidates in
     the U.S. and in struggling against U.S. genocide against African people and for
     reparations. It goes without saying that no African person in the U.S. needs a
     Russian to tell them the conditions they face right here.
   • This attack on African people is a continuation of COINTELPRO, the U.S.
     government’s counterinsurgency to try to crush the African Liberation Movement.
     
     
3. Our Movement’s powerful response: Hands Off Uhuru! Hands Off Africa!
   • The HandsOffUhuru.org website has documented media coverage and
     collected scores of solidarity statements from organizations and individuals.
   • In September, the Hands Off Uhuru! Hands Off Africa! Committee launched a powerful tour of Chairman Omali Yeshitela beginning at the REFAL center in Newark, New Jersey.
   • The Chairman has been on a non-stop media campaign.
     • The Chairman interviewed on Democracy Now!
     • Fox News covered the Chairman’s press conference
     • APSP Director of media and communication Akilé Anai’s press conference
   • We are winning! The FBI’s efforts to intimidate the African People’s Socialist Party and their supporters has backfired.
     
     
4. The African People’s Socialist Party continued all its work despite the attacks
   Through thousands of donations from supporters including white people paying reparations, the Party was able to successfully complete the Black community Basketball court, launch the African women’s doula program, paint the beautiful murals, maintain the community garden, the farmers market and many more projects of the Black Power Blueprint in St. Louis.
