PermalinkAt first when this video popped up, talking about joining in to Educate and Diversify the Wall St movement, I was thinking, "FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!" because a few progressive fellow Black artists were saying "Why don't these sections ever think about occupying the HOOD?" And then I read that they are looking to educate BLACK FOLKS about the need to focus on Wall St. So in my book, they have a jumped into half of the conundrum. I hope I can make a stab, by working with this teeny new grouping, to take on the other half: making a clear message about the relationship between the daily, historical oppression of people of color, and the whole System, a message that will educate the Occupy Wall St movement itself,. They have things to learn from us -- and us fom them.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
