MORE THAN A HASHTAG (#EndSARS: The role of security and policing in African Societies)

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZclcequqTsvHdxMxRgMZ3m1pin8kVkEJXQ_

As you are aware, Nigerians have taken to the streets both in Nigeria youth and in the diaspora to protest police brutality with a movement known as the #EndSARS movement. On October 20, 2020, the Nigerian military used violence to crackdown on protesters, resulting in several deaths.

The Take Back Africa Foundation stands in solidarity with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating for police reform and seeking an end to corruption in their democracy. With this being said, we would like to bring awareness to the current protest but also engage in a larger a dialogue about the role of security and policing in African societies by having a zoom webinar on November 14, 2020.

The goal of this event is to bring awareness to the current situation in Nigeria in regard to the ongoing protests against police brutality but also engage in a larger dialogue about the role of security and policing in African societies. Many African countries are experiencing similar (violations of civil rights) by police and there is a larger reason for this that must also be addressed.

The event will be held via Zoom on Saturday, November 14th from 1:00PM – 2:30PM CST. As a leader and current participant in the movement, you are an especially galvanizing voice in our community.

Statement oN Black Lives Matter

The Take Back Africa Foundation stands with and acknowledges the Black Lives Matter Movement. The Black Lives Matter Global Network is on a mission to create a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive. The Take Back Africa Foundation supports this mission. As Africans living in the diaspora, we are fortunate to benefit from all that African Americans have fought and died for in the fight for civil and equal rights. We are also subjected to racial injustice because of this. With this, we are speaking out against police brutality and demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Arianna Jefferson and Ahmad Arbery.

Police brutality disproportionally affects black people in America. Data collected by the Washington Post on the use of lethal force by police officers since 2015 indicates that, blacks are overrepresented among all those killed by police. Blacks made up 12% of the US population. However, from 2015 – 2019 they accounted for 26.4% of those that were killed by police under all circumstances. As Africans living in America, we must acknowledge this as the reality. This is the reality of what it means to be black in America. As a predominantly African Diaspora organization, we see the necessity to start having conversations about racism on the continent. It is important to educate our people interested in traveling abroad about the racial realities that comes with living in the United States.

We are asking our members and supporters to partake in the movement any way they can. Here are some examples of what that can look like for you:

Attending protests that support justice and peace for not only George Floyd but so many black men and women being killed by police
Being at city council and legislative meetings to make sure that police brutality is on the agenda and addressed.
Getting involved with organizations like the Minneapolis Freedom Fund or Black Lives Matter Mpls or the NAACP to work on a solution for the injustices that we face.
Signing petitions and emailing your local representatives about how they plan to implement legislation and policies to prevent police brutality.

Everyone has a role to play in this movement for equality and justice. If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that “normal” is not something we should strive to get back to. If you would like to keep up with what TBA is doing to support BLM and our communities, please feel free to follow us on social media and check our website for updates. We thank you for your support, and we look forward to continuing to work together to help make lasting and positive change for generations to come. Black Lives Matter.
