We center the lived experiences of subjugated knowledge of Black Women and Girls.

We start from the position that Black women and girls have fundamental human rights and that all structures, institutions and practices that are in place to deny those rights must be targeted and dismantled through our own efforts in relationship and in solidarity with allied organizations and individuals.

OUR PRINCIPLES

Black Unity in the Americas

AfroResistance is a political platform to help unify Black people in the Americas. We aim to collectively knit and co-design a political agenda that is grounded in gender, racial, reproductive, and economic justice.

Gender Analysis that centers Black TransWomen and Girls

Gender is our starting point for all of our work at all its intersections. How all systems impact Black TransWomen and Girls is an intentional stand that will lead to the liberation of all Black Women and girls.

Racial Justice that centers Blackness

Centering Black people's liberation due to the historical and global history of structural and systemic oppression that Black people continue to face. It’s a vital path to our liberation.

Reproductive Justice as a human right

Reproductive justice is a framework elaborated by Black women and it is central to our analysis of health and health inequalities of Black women and girls.

Migration that honors Black peoples movement

regardless of ‘status’

Having an internationalist perspective on migration, where Black migrants regardless of political, social, economic or cultural migration realities and stories are honored and centered as members of society and therefore entitled and guarantee of all their human rights.

Economic Justice grounded in equity of wealth

In a capitalist world, class and access to assets and wealth, including land, are essential to the discussion on historical inequalities and gender discrimination.

AfroResistance

Educate and organize for human rights, democracy and racial justice throughout the Americas.
