Our members share a common vision which is outlined in our founding document the Kilimanjaro Declaration. The declaration is a formal recognition of the richness of the African continent, its people and its diaspora, and a commitment to overcome the oppressive systems that plague African and African-descendent people.
We, the citizens and descendants of Africa, as part of the Africans Rising Movement, are outraged by the centuries of oppression; we condemn the plunder of our natural and mineral resources and the suppression of our fundamental human rights. We are determined to foster an Africa-wide solidarity and unity of purpose of the Peoples of Africa to build the Future we want – a right to peace, social inclusion and shared prosperity.
