Join Cynthia McKinney at a Pan African Community Forum in Lithonia, Ga., Saturday April 20

The community is invited to participate in a forum with former congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday April 20, 2013, at the First African Church. The public meeting comes as a response to the increased attacks against Black people across the globe, economically, politically and culturally. This is especially true with the deployments of foreign troops across Africa and as Black people slip silently into increased poverty and oppression across the U.S. and the world.

In addition to the Honorable Cynthia McKinney, reports to the community will also be made by Minister Akbar Muhammad on U.S-Africa relations, Joe Beasley ongoing struggles of Africans in Brazil, and other leaders such as Baba Mukasa Dada will key highlights of the 50^th anniversary liberation struggles. Some of the other key issues include the U.S. policy promoting the militarization of Africa and the USA, Drone attacks across Africa and the world, and the great scramble to grab land and resources across Africa and the world. We will also update the community on Venezuela, and the continued emergency situations affecting African states such as Mali, Libya and the Congo. Additionally, the forum will encourage actions for the mobilization and full organization of African people during the global tribute of the 50^th anniversary of the OAU for the liberation and unification of African people.

The community forum is also part of the efforts of WADU to promote decisive Pan African actions during the OAU 50^th anniversary year under the African Union theme of “Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance” announced by the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. According to Madame Zuma, the OAU anniversary is to reflect and revive the models established by leaders such as Honorable Marcus Garvey and especially President Kwame Nkrumah in his “single-mindedness and strength to achieve the mission of the social and economic liberation of our continent.”

The anniversary activities will be from May 25, 2013 through May 25, 2014 to strengthen the union of African people and communities, globally. This public meeting in Georgia is one of many during African Liberation Year across the African world focusing on strengthening African leadership, pressing for an immediate union government of Africa, and for economic initiatives for African self-reliance, African education and the union of African people, worldwide. WADU is urging immediate actions on the long delayed establishment of a union government espoused by great Pan Africanists like Marcus Garvey and Kwame Nkrumah during the upcoming OAU 50^th anniversary year.
