Note from The Liberation Movement:
This movement exists because the conditions you are living under are not accidental. Black people and oppressed communities across the world face systems designed to extract labor, control movement, erase history, and limit the future. These systems call themselves governments, markets, borders, schools, and law. We name them for what they are and we organize to replace their function in our lives. Liberation is not an idea. It is a responsibility. This declaration names what we fight for and what we are building together.
About the DECLARATION OF LIBERATION
Black people and oppressed communities across the world live under conditions shaped by violence, extraction, and control. These conditions are not accidental. They are maintained through policy, economics, policing, borders, media, and education. Many institutions explain these systems without challenging them. Others deny they exist at all.
This movement does neither.
We do not offer demands for recognition. We do not appeal for reform. We organize for liberation by building power, knowledge, and protection outside systems that have proven hostile to our survival.
The declaration to the right names what we fight for, what we refuse to accept, and what we commit to building. It is not symbolic language. It is a framework for discipline, education, and action.
1
We fight for self determination.
You have the right to decide the conditions of your life, your labor, your body, and your future. No institution owns you. No system speaks for you. Liberation begins when you recognize your authority and organize collectively to protect it.
2
We fight for truth and political education.
You deserve honest history and clear language about power. Education must explain how systems function, who they benefit, and how people resist them. We reject schooling that trains obedience while hiding reality. Knowledge must prepare you to think, analyze, and act.
3
We fight for youth protection and youth leadership.
Young people already live inside political consequences created without their consent. Protection does not come from silence. It comes from truth, skill building, and responsibility. Youth leadership is not symbolic. It is necessary for survival.
4
We fight for economic liberation.
Poverty is enforced. Exploitation is organized. We build cooperative economics, mutual aid, land control, and community owned infrastructure. We reject profit as the measure of value. We measure success by stability, dignity, and collective survival.
5
We fight for land, housing, and environmental justice.
Land is survival. Housing is survival. Clean water and food are survival. We resist displacement, environmental poisoning, and extraction that target Black communities. Environmental violence is political violence.
6
We fight against policing, prisons, borders, and state violence.
These systems do not exist to protect us. They exist to control movement, labor, and resistance. We organize defense, documentation, and community based safety rooted in accountability and care.
7
We fight for cultural power and independent media.
Control of narrative is control of reality. We build our own journalism, art, music, and storytelling. We document conditions as they are, not as institutions describe them. Memory is a weapon and we protect it.
8
We fight for global Black solidarity and internationalism.
Our struggle does not stop at national borders. The same systems operating here operate across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Global South. We stand with global movements resisting colonialism, imperialism, and resource theft.
9
We fight for a disciplined organization.
Liberation requires structure, study, accountability, and long-term planning. We value organizers over influencers. We value consistency over spectacle. We build institutions designed to outlive individuals.
10
We fight for a future rooted in dignity, not survival.
A liberated world allows people to live fully, raise families without fear, and imagine futures without apology. We organize for that world now.
