Uhuru House Development Campaign

The U.S. attempts to solve the deep economic crisis through colonial wars from Afghanistan & Iraq to the streets of St. Petersburg.
City of St. Petersburg spent $86 million of the people’s resources on a war budget funding the policy of police containment, prisons and courts, while spending nothing on economic development; this is a counterinsurgency war right here!
We call on our community to stand with the program of the Uhuru Movement, demanding all rights of a free people for self-determination and liberation. We reject an economy and jobs based on the oppression of African people! REPARATIONS NOW!

Unity in St. Petersburg through economic and social justice for the African community!
