The Black Radical Congress is
continuing the long tradition of anti imperialism among peoples of African
descent living in the United States. The Black Radical Congress goes on
record to express its opposition to US military intervention overseas. The
BRC is especially opposed to the large military spending of the government
as opposed to social spending. As oppressed peoples in this country, we
are aware that military support for dictators oppress working peoples all
over the world. The culture of militarism at home corrupts the society and
accounts for the proliferation of weapons. The international caucus is an
active supporter of genuine peace and is opposed to all forms of genocide
and genocidal violence. The BRC is especially active in the area of
supporting African women and the Pan African women’s initiative for
peace. The international caucus works with all sections of the BRC to
promote the anti imperialist work and is at the forefront of the struggles
for a new international economic order. In particular, the BRC is
supporting the struggles against the WTO, the struggles against the World
Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The BRC calls for reparations
for Africans at home and abroad and for a cancellation of the African,
Caribbean and Third World debt.
The BRC supports the 500 year struggles of the indigenous peoples of
this hemisphere for their rights. The international caucus supports their
just cause for justice in all parts of the hemisphere, especially in
Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico. This includes the struggles of the
First Nation Peoples in the USA and Canada. The BRC supports the struggle
of the Chiapas for political democracy in Mexico and the struggle of
indigenous people everywhere for social justice. The BRC is opposed to all
forms of colonialism.
The BRC supports the struggles of working peoples in all countries of
the world for social, economic and environmental rights.
