North Carolina Black Alliance

The Black Alliance for Peace is a people-centered human rights organization based in Raleigh, NC, dedicated to advancing anti-war, anti-imperialist, and internationalist advocacy. The organization operates as a movement-building entity that educates and mobilizes communities around critical issues including U.S. militarization, imperial aggression, and regional sovereignty. Through strategic campaigns and educational initiatives, the Black Alliance for Peace works to counter domestic militarization, expose the operations of military institutions like AFRICOM, and advocate for peaceful resolution to international conflicts. The organization engages in comprehensive research, analysis, and public education through regular bulletins, teach-ins, and community events that examine the intersection of war, repression, and imperialism. Based in Raleigh, the organization coordinates with chapters across multiple cities to activate popular movements in support of establishing the Americas as a Zone of Peace. The Black Alliance for Peace produces timely analysis on geopolitical issues, maintains an interactive Map of U.S. Militarization in the Americas, and organizes coordinated actions that connect local anti-war activism with international solidarity movements. Their work addresses the historical anti-war and anti-imperialist positions of the radical Black left, providing contemporary leadership on issues ranging from U.S. interventionism in Venezuela and the Caribbean to militarization on African soil and domestic policing practices that reflect imperial violence.
