Black Alliance for Peace
About Black Alliance for Peace
Serving the Bronx, NY community, Black Alliance for Peace is rooted in the historic traditions of Black radical movements that have long fought for peace, self-determination, and freedom from oppression. The organization creates a welcoming platform where community members, organizations, and activists can connect, collaborate, and work collectively toward shared liberation goals. Black Alliance for Peace understands that thriving communities require spaces where people feel safe, respected, and empowered to express their full selves while addressing systemic challenges. The organization's mission centers on recapturing the anti-war and anti-imperialist positions that have defined Black struggle, bringing these principles into contemporary organizing work in the Bronx. Through educational activities and movement support, Black Alliance for Peace builds community knowledge about the connections between domestic militarization, structural racism, and global U.S. imperialism. Members work together to oppose police violence and state repression while challenging destructive foreign policies that destabilize communities worldwide. The organization values unity, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, and creative solutions to community challenges. Black Alliance for Peace invites Bronx residents and beyond to join in building a community where Black people are empowered to thrive, where peace is prioritized over war, and where collective action creates meaningful social transformation rooted in historical wisdom and contemporary vision.
