Only by Revolution through which we overthrow white supremacy and capitalism will we be liberated as a people. Revolution is not an event. Revolution is a process that requires the involvement of the masses of our people. As we work to elevate the revolutionary consciousness of the masses of our people for Revolution through Political Education, we have still got to eat and we have still got to live. The best way for us to move forward is unified, employing holistic programs of self-help and cooperative economics.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was initiated by the arrest of Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger, violating the city's segregation laws that required Black people to sit at the back of the bus. It should also be noted that Black people could not be bus drivers in Montgomery, Alabama. Injustice perpetrated against Black people was the root cause of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
The boycott launched against companies in America (i.e. Target, Meta Platforms, Amazon, McDonalds, Walmart, Ford, Lowes, Harley-Davidson, Brown-Foreman, John Deere, Tractor Supply) today, who rolled back their DEI programs, results from injustice perpetrated against Black people.
What made the boycott of the Montgomery Bus System successful was that Black folk were unified in sacrifice because they recognized that there was STRENGTH IN UNITY. The Black citizenry of Montgomery refused to ride the buses in their city for 381 days until segregation on the buses was no longer the law in Montgomery. This represented a major victory for the Civil Rights Movement. This boycott called for major sacrifices of our people back then because many Black people caught the buses to and from work. The sacrifices they made were far greater than the sacrifice we are asking Black people to make today when we ask you to boycott companies that have rolled back their DEI programs. We are not asking you to stop shopping for products and services that you need. We are asking you to boycott the aforementioned companies who rolled back their DEI programs.
Movements today require unified sacrifice. There is STRENGTH IN UNITY. The sacrifice we are asking you to make today is really to our collective advantage as a people. We are asking you to give up the convenience of shopping at familiar White businesses who will no longer hire you for a job and BUY THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU NEED AT A BLACK OWNED BUSINESS.
The purpose of our boycott today is for Black people to demonstrate the same solidarity to White Corporate America that the Black people in Montgomery demonstrated to the segregated city of Montgomery, Alabama back in the 1950’s. What we want to demonstrate to White Corporate America with our dollars is that WE ARE UNIFIED AND WILL NOT TOLERATE INJUSTICE PERPETRATED AGAINST OUR PEOPLE WITHOUT PUNISHING YOU ECONOMICALLY FOR IT BY SPENDING OUR DOLLARS ELSEWHERE.
Why would you ever want to spend your hard earned dollars somewhere you can’t even work?
Marinate On That!
Ready For Revolution
All Power To The People!!!
