-
We believe in the right of our communities to determine our own destinies. Decisions about safety, healing, and justice must be made with the people most impacted, not imposed from outside institutions.
-
We believe every person has the right to live with dignity and to contribute their skills, talents, and creativity to the well-being of the community. We reject systems that devalue some lives, exploit our labor, and force us into “slave shifts” while others profit. Instead, we affirm community-driven models of shared resources, cooperative work, and collective care that ensure everyone’s needs are met. Closing the wealth gap requires repair for the centuries of stolen labor and privilege built on our exploitation. Our future is not employer and employee—it is people working together for collective survival and thriving.
➡️ We call for resources to be redirected from extractive industries and militarized budgets into cooperative economic models, community-based enterprises, and youth-led innovation. -
Education must tell the whole truth of humanity—not erase or diminish it. We reject systems that center White or Eurocentric perspectives while portraying Africa as lesser and Black people only as victims in need of saving. Our histories are rich with brilliance, resilience, and contributions that shaped the world, and they must be taught as such. Education should honor all people as part of the thread of time, equipping us with knowledge of self, racial justice, and collective liberation. Learning must be a tool for empowerment, imagination, and transformation—not assimilation or erasure.
-
Our young people must not be sacrificed—neither to wars abroad nor to the wars waged in our own communities. Too often, youth are targeted by societal narratives that normalize violence, stereotypes, and stigmas rooted in white supremacy, leading to cycles of division, criminalization, and harm. Even before military recruiters arrive, our youth are drafted into battles created by systemic neglect, exploitation, and erasure. We demand investment in leadership development, cultural expression, and opportunities that affirm their power, creativity, and dreams. Our youth are not disposable—they are valuable members of the collective, and their visions must shape the liberated future we are building together.
➡️ This requires a radical shift of resources away from war, policing, and incarceration into education, housing, health, and youth leadership programs. Our future depends on resourcing life, not death. -
The current system equates justice with punishment, exile, and cages—but punishment does not heal harm, and exile does not create safety. True accountability must mean repair, restoration, and transformation. We commit to building systems of justice and accountability that call people in rather than cast them out, that face harm honestly and directly, and that create real pathways for repair.
This requires centering the voices of those harmed, supporting those who caused harm to take responsibility, and addressing the root causes that allowed harm to happen in the first place. Justice must be rooted in healing, repair, and transformation for everyone involved—the person harmed, the person who caused harm, and the community.
➡️ This includes rejecting the culture of public shaming and call-outs within our communities. We cannot replicate the logics of punishment in our organizing. Instead, we practice accountability that nurtures growth, repair, and transformation.
Membership commitmentS — “our demands”
-
Mass incarceration is not justice—it is slavery by another name. The 13th Amendment explicitly allows enslavement “as punishment for a crime,” and the prison system has used this loophole to cage and exploit millions, disproportionately targeting Black people and other marginalized communities. From harsher policing to longer sentences, our communities bear the heaviest burden of this system designed to control, dehumanize, and profit from our bodies.
The prison industrial complex thrives on our suffering, turning incarceration into a business that feeds on trauma and strips people of dignity. We must also recognize that the current system returns our loved ones back to their communities carrying deep trauma, with little to no support for re-entry, healing, or access to opportunity. Too often they are barred from housing, employment, voting, and other basic rights, permanently labeled and locked out of the collective.
That is why re-entry must be reimagined—not as surveillance or stigma, but as a pathway home rooted in healing, restoration, housing, opportunity, and full participation in community life. We demand freedom for all those trapped in jails and prisons and an end to the profiteering off human lives.
-
From police brutality to mass incarceration to systemic neglect, state violence continues to steal lives and futures. We demand independent systems of accountability that are not tied to the very institutions causing harm. We must move away from state-sanctioned violence in all its forms, including the inhumane treatment of our community members behind prison walls. True safety cannot come from cages, punishment, or surveillance—it comes from addressing root causes, correcting socially constructed behaviors, and investing in prevention, healing, and restoration.
➡️ Budgets that fuel police militarization and prison expansion must be redirected into the basic needs that actually create safety—housing, healthcare, mental health, education, and opportunity. -
Housing is a human right—not a privilege tied to poverty or conditions. We reject systems that force people to remain poor in order to be housed. Housing must not be one-size-fits-all; it must reflect the needs, voices, and leadership of the very people who will live there. We demand investment in diverse, dignified, and community-controlled housing that fosters stability, healing, and belonging—never punishment, surveillance, or exclusion.
➡️ Funds that currently expand policing and prisons must instead be invested in housing that heals and restores, not surveillance-based or punitive models of shelter. -
We believe our communities have been robbed for generations—through stolen labor, stolen land, stolen wealth, and stolen opportunity. What was taken must be returned. Repair and restoration are not optional; they are overdue debts. Reparations in the form of land, resources, and sustained investment must be directed back to Black, Brown, and marginalized communities—not as charity, but as justice. These resources must be placed under community control to ensure they heal past harms, close the wealth gap, and create thriving futures.
-
We believe liberation requires meeting every human need and protecting every human dignity. Our fight is not for survival alone, but for the thriving of generations to come. Liberation demands access to land, nourishment, culture, education, and justice that are free from exploitation and rooted in collective peace.
This also means confronting the theft of this land itself. True justice requires Land Back—the return of land and resources to Indigenous peoples, the First Peoples of this land, whose sovereignty has been violated for centuries. Their fight for dignity, self-determination, and restoration is inseparable from the Black struggle for liberation, as both are rooted in dismantling white supremacy, colonialism, and the extractive systems that have stolen from our peoples for generations.
Our demand is for wholeness, belonging, and collective peace—for Black people, for Indigenous people, and for all oppressed peoples. We fight not only to end cycles of harm, but to create a world where land is sacred, resources are shared, culture is honored, and generations yet to come inherit freedom.
This Ten-Point Plan grounds All Of Us in a lineage of radical tradition while updating the framework for healing-centered, restorative movement-building. It both honors the Panthers’ uncompromising clarity and reflects our organization’s vision of calling in, not calling out; repairing, not discarding; healing, not punishing.
