The Uhuru House: Embassy for the African world
Known as the “Embassy for the African world,” the St. Petersburg Uhuru House is home to the African People’s Socialist Party. It functions as a vital and unique community center both locally and internationally, transforming the lives and addressing the needs facing African people everywhere.
The Uhuru House has been a key African community hub for:
-
Tribunals, justice hearings and Town Hall meetings.
- The worldwide movement for reparations to the African community.
- The struggle for community control of education and housing.
- Building revolutionary African community health, fitness, youth and cultural programs.
- Building African working class organizations, such as the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement among many others.
- Burning Spear Media, including Uhuru Radio, Burning Spear Records, The Burning Spear newspaper.
Now, more than ever, supporting the St. Petersburg Uhuru House will benefit the international African community as a whole.
Fundraising Goal: $600,000
Make the Uhuru House a self-reliant African community center to build a collective, sustainable and liberated economy
The goals for the Uhuru House Development include making the following a reality:
- Fully pay the renovation mortgage so the building can always meet the needs of the African working class community.
- Retrofit the Uhuru House with solar panels to rely on the sun for up to 75% of energy use
- Provide a sound system and portable stage for the auditorium
- Outfit the recording studio as an economic institution of international African culture
- Create a fully equipped licensed community kitchen.
In addition, The Uhuru House needs enormous resources to function everyday: utilities, phone, the demand for travel, campaigns to defend democratic rights, the Basketball Program, equipment for development of the Uhuru News bureau in Azania and expansion throughout the world.
The Uhuru Movement does not get grants or funding. It relies on community support.
