APEDF Stands for Justice for George Floyd


The African People’s Education and Defense Fund and our many institutions throughout the US have taken a public stand to defend the human and civil rights of the black community for over 26 years! 

Today we stand with the African community and George Floyd’s family to demand 
JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD!  
We call for an end to the police murder and abuse of African people!

The APEDF mission is to defend the human and civil rights of the African community and end the disparities faced by African people in health, healthcare, education and economic development.

The public murder of George Floyd by the police in Minneapolis has sparked an international outcry from the black community and others who urgently call for genuine change to the blatant inequalities experienced by the African community. 

The work of APEDF addresses the human rights abuses our people face every day with rampant poverty and unemployment, lack of access to quality health care and education, and enduring harsh policies of police containment and mass imprisonment that affect every African family.  

APEDF understands that these conditions are never going to be addressed or transformed by the system that has forced us to produce wealth for everyone but ourselves for hundreds of years. 

APEDF does much more than expose the problem!  We create solutions by rebuilding and uplifting our starved and neglected communities. We know that the only way forward is for African people to have self-determination and self-reliance. We must control everything that goes on in our communities.

We have built over 50 institutions and programs led by African people to feed, clothe and house ourselves! APEDF is creating our own independent economic and cultural life. We are bringing our community together so we can have real development and political and economic power in our own hands! 

Support the African People’s Education and Defense Fund and all our programs and defend the right of African people to self-determination!
