Participate in Pan-African Mobilisations & Solidarity Actions

Africans Rising convenes and coordinates large scale Pan-African mobilisations that bring people together across borders. One of our flagship mobilisations is African Liberation Week, held annually around May 25 (Africa Day).

Through these mobilisations, you can:

  • Act in solidarity with struggles across the continent
  • Organise local or national actions as part of a continental moment
  • Build people-to-people Pan-Africanism in practice
  • Regional and continental convenings such as the All-African Movement Assembly (AAMA)

AAMA serves as a key space where movements collectively analyse the moment, share strategies, and co-create a just and borderless future for Africa.

Beyond campaigns, Africans Rising invests in building strong, resilient movements. We support activists and organisations to strengthen their organising, leadership, and collaboration capacities.

Opportunities include:

  • Trainings and political education spaces
