Projects of the Uhuru Movement
Support Africa's future in the hands of African working people! A revolutionary idea!
- Africa - richest continent on earth, but over half its people live on less than $2/day
- Oil, diamonds, gold and other minerals in Africa can end the poverty, but they now enrich the rest of the world.
- Charity programs make donors feel good, but don't change conditions. African people uniting and empowering themselves is bringing real change.
- A free and liberated Africa in the hands of African working people is essential for world peace.

African People's Socialist Party (APSP) and the
African Internationlist Student Organization (AISO)
Under the leadership of Chairman Omali Yeshitela, the African People's Socialist Party (APSP) has built the Uhuru Movement. For 30 years, the Uhuru Movement has been on the front lines defending the democratic rights of African people. It leads campaigns for economic development in impoverished African communities, for withdrawl of police containment policies and community control of schools and housing.
In the tradition of the great African leader Marcus Garvey, the APSP has traveled the globe to bring together African people to build a socialist and liberated Africa that benefits all African people.
The African Internationalist Student Organization (AISO) is the student wing of the African People’s Socialist Party, building on college campuses around the country. As in the 1960s when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and other students played a dynamic role in the Black Power Movement, AISO reflects the growing motion of young African people in the U.S and around the world working for real transformation for African people.
African Socialist International
With the understanding that Africans are one people wherever they have been displaced around the world, the Uhuru Movement is building the African Socialist International (ASI). Its vision is of one united Africa without the divisions set up by colonial powers, with the commitment that Africa's resources belong to African working people. The ASI has members throughout Africa, the Americas and Europe.
All African People's Development and Empowerment Project
Colonialism has left Africa and Africans throughout the world without the infrastructure that we take for granted. The All African People's Development and Empowerment Project is an independent African-led initiative working with African communities in Africa and elsewhere. The project is building people's power through renewable energy projects, water purification and prosthetics programs.
Burning Spear Media
Burning Spear Media features Uhuru News, Radio and TV (UhuruNews.com), broadcast worldwide on the internet. The shows cover issues affecting African people on the continent, the U.S. and elsewhere. Burning Spear Media also produces The Burning Spear newspaper, as well as films (Burning Spear Productions) and music (Burning Spear Records). Other Uhuru Movement institutions include Uhuru Furniture stores, The TyRon Lewis Community Gym, and Uhuru Basketball team.
Defending the democratic rights of Africans in the U.S.
African communities in the U.S. continue to face poverty, powerlessness, police brutality and mass imprisonment. For 30 years the Uhuru Movement has been on the front lines to stop the war against African people with campaigns for economic development in impoverished African communities, withdrawal of police containment policies and community control of schools and housing.
Return the diamonds to Africa
Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Congo are among the countries in Africa where people live on 30 cents a day while African diamonds are systematically extracted and sold in Western countries for billions of dollars. All diamonds are blood diamonds! Return your diamonds to Africa to fund the All African People's Development and Empowerment Project.
