On October 24, 2021, the African National Women's Organization held the Arrest CPS organizing conference to bring together parents, organizers and lawyers as a strategy to strengthen parents’ defense of their children and offer a network of support that is rooted in empowering African families. The organizing conference featured panel discussions from members of the Uhuru Movement, Union Del Barrio, Operation Stop CPS and Movement for Power.
This episode features excerpts from that conference. It establishes the state-sponsored child welfare system as part of a long history of colonial domination of African and Indigenous people and provides practical ways for people to organize in their best interest.
Guest featured on this episode are Yejide Orunmila, President of the African National Women's Organization, Chimurenga Selembao, National Director of Organization for the African People's Socialist Party, Demetria Hester, also of ANWO and the APSP, Erin Miles-Cloud of Movement for Power, and lastly Taffarah Austin and Amanda Wallace of Operation Stop CPS.
