The Black Left Unity Network (BLUN) is an organizational network aimed at bringing the Black left into a dialogue and coordinating process to give leadership to the rebirth of the Black Liberation Movement. The main task of this directory is to answer the fundamental question of what is the Black left. We are taking a broad inclusive approach based on what we are calling the 80-20 principle, meaning we can allow for some level of debate and disagreement within the network. We are answering the question of what is the Black left by identifying some of the forces who are part of the Black left. Everyone listed in this directory is against capitalism and fighting in some way against the US ruling class and its state apparatus. Most are veterans of the struggle. The Black activists being radicalized by the struggles of today in a period when the contradictions of capitalism have caused deeper poverty, unemployment, wars and Blacks being murdered by cops every 28 hours, must learn from the past and create new ideas to lead the struggles for revolutionary change in this period. Please send us names of people you want to nominate to be included, including some links to their voice and written texts. We are looking at theory as a practice based summation of lessons to guide the movement. We are not about giving legitimacy to merely arm chair academics or media based public intellectuals. Although we are not excluding people who are contributing from an academic institutional context. Our primary focus is on the activists who speak from the grassroots foundation of our struggle. |
