She Who Struggles Is Free! The 45th Anniversary of the Liberation of Assata Shakur – November 2, 2024

Join the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) to celebrate and honor the 45th anniversary of the liberation of our beloved New Afrikan revolutionary, Assata Shakur! On November 2nd, 1979, New Afrikan Independence Movement prisoner of war, Assata Shakur, was liberated from the Clinton New Jersey Correctional Facility by the Black Liberation Army and white revolutionary allies. The daring action was done “to express the world the need to Free All Political Prisoners in the u.s.”

National Assata Shakur Liberation Day was started by the Jericho Movement in 2013 in response to the FBI’s designation of Assata as a terrorist, making her the first woman on their top ten most wanted list. Assata Shakur Liberation Day is reminder and call that winning the freedom of political prisoners is critical to the protection of our Human Right to self-determination, self-defense, and self-respect.

We will be joined by special guests, who will share reflections on the impact of Assata Shakur on our movements and recount the incredible organizing to keep her free.
