National Black Radical Organizing Conference

Community Movement Builders (CMB) Presents:

Unity in Our Lifetime: Connecting the National Struggle for Self-Determination with Pan-Africanism

Location: The Chateau, 335 Upper Riverdale Rd, Suite A12 Jonesboro, GA June, 23-25 2023

Community Movement Builders (CMB) is a Black member-based collective of community residents and activists serving Black working-class and poor Black communities. CMB emerged out of a need to respond to encroaching gentrification, displacement and over-policing. CMB organizes to bring power to Black communities by challenging existing institutions and creating new ones that our people control. We will be hosting a National Black Radical Organizing Conference in Atlanta, Georgia in an effort to bring together Black radical organizers from all over the country in a single location to discuss the pressing issues of our liberation struggle.

The conference will take place from Friday, 23 June, to Sunday, 25 June 2023. The theme for this conference will be Unity in our Lifetime: Connecting the National Black Struggle for Self-Determination with Pan-Africanism. Let us convene to raise our struggle to higher levels!
