"One must remember that in choosing the lesser of two evils, one still chooses evil." --Hannah Arendt, Philosopher, Activist.

Although political protests give us the opportunity to unite our thoughts in opposition to the route which our governments are taking us, many of us all over the world have come to the realization that the lack of peace in the world and the problems that we see increasing every day have a foundation deeper than the Republicans, the Democrats, or a few select multinational corporations. What we face are institutionalized problems, problems which can only be confronted at the root, researched and solved by imaginative and broad based, non-violent social movements and community movements - not ballot boxes.

There has been so much talk about what kind of ‘charity’ third world countries (Haiti, Africa, etc.) and people of color and immigrants ‘need.’ But there is little talk about the need for self-empowering justice beyond capitalism. The AfricaNeedsFreeJustice comes from the fact that love and justice is needed the very most by all countries.

AfricaNeedsFreeJustice is a community organized with hopes of not replicating the style and approach of traditional communities, which are often alienating and racially homogenized with little attempt to create outreach and universal accessibility to non-English speaking people and to the disabled people of our society.

We hope you will consider joining our community, donating to our community or attend one of our events.

Keep working for a better world everyone. If your work is done with love... every bit makes a difference!

Love, -ANFJ
