You can ask 10 different Black people this same question and get 10 different answers. And that’s ok. This resource, the Blueprint for Black Liberation is a collection of poems, essays, and images that all explore possible answers to that question and hopes of sparking conversation about how we relate to one another and how we can work collectively to achieve our fullest human potential. For BlackRoots Alliance, we work towards Black liberation by being an organization committed to the safety and liberation of all Black people, promoting Black leadership and Black-centered community transformation as we work collectively to build social, economic and political power in order to end the war on Black people, heal our communities and fundamentally transform our society. We aim to inspire relationships and conversations that lean into a radical imagination of what the future could look like without the impact and influence of white supremacy. We practice this by coordinating collaborations and capacity-building projects related to the organizing, training, and mobilizing of historically marginalized communities. While no single construct can hold the vast wisdom among Black people, we focus our efforts along 5 Pillars of Liberation - wellness, safety, education, economics and democracy. Each of these pillars is reflected in the Blueprint and the submissions therein explore ideas of how we can heal from collective trauma, liberate ourselves from oppressive education systems, challenge economies that are based on exploitation, demand accountability from elected officials and reframe what it means to be safe. We hope this resource inspires you to tread your own path towards Black liberation and encourages you to link up with collectives like our partner organizations in order to work towards liberation for all Black people.
