November 13, 1996 is a date that should be etched into the memory of every freedom-loving African. It has even gained greater significance with the most recent State attacks against the Uhuru Movement in the form of the FBI-initiated predawn raids carried out on July 29, 2022.
Leroy Jones is an incarcerated African in the Nevada prison system. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, Africans are eight percent of Nevada’s population but nearly 33 percent of its prisoners.
In the early morning hours of Friday, July 29, 2022, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), aided by local police, raided the offices and homes of members of the Uhuru Movement in St. Petersburg, Florida and St. Louis, Missouri, seizing our computers, hard drives, phones, office equipment and files.
Unión del Barrio enthusiastically expresses our support and unconditional solidarity with the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), and we demand an immediate end of all U.S. state repression against the Uhuru Movement!
