International Declaration of People’s Movements and Organizations in solidarity with the Anti-Racist Rebellion in the United States.

We firmly denounce the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department and demand full and uncompromising justice for his family. We join the call and demand for justice of thousands of families across the United States who have lost someone to police violence.

We express our resounding support to the people of the United States who, throughout their history, have resisted racism. We stand in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands who are currently protesting and repudiate the narratives being shaped by corporate media labeling protestors “terrorists” and “looters” to criminalize the movement. This is part of a tactic to delegitimize the protests and divide the people.

These wide protests have led to an anti-racist rebellion which has further exposed the deep racist character of the American State to the world. It’s a systemic and historical injustice that pervades all of society and has counted with the active cooperation of the major parties, corporations, and the mass media.

Racism has always been at the heart of the social, economic, and political system of the United States. We repudiate the historical and continued use of racism and the system of white supremacy as a means to uphold a class society that exploits and oppresses the most vulnerable communities.

We know that to eradicate the monster of racism, the systemic murder of Black people and all these crises will require an end to capitalism and a complete transformation of society. The people of the United States have embarked on this road by mobilizing on an unprecedented scale across the country.

We reject Trump’s response, which has been to call for protesters to be shot down and declaring war on the people and their right to protest by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807. This act has allowed the US government to send the military to become enforcers of law and order and repress this new movement, as it did in 1992 during the LA uprisings.

The American bourgeoisie, including both Democrats and Republicans, have facilitated Trump’s attacks on protesters and the imposition of unjust curfews that are being used to justify mass arrests of people exercising their rights. The curfews strengthen the police state and normalize police violence, which is focused on the thousands of people who are joining this anti-racist rebellion.

We join the call of people’s movements for the U.S. government to defund and divest from militarism and police terror, and invest in the needed infrastructure to address the growing socio-economic needs of the American people.

We condemn the complicit silence of many allied governments of the US around the world who have failed to denounce the murder of George Floyd as a hate crime perpetrated by the state, and the military repression against hundreds of thousands of protesters as a massive violation of human rights.

It is not a coincidence that this anti-racist rebellion of the people occurs during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has brought out multiple crises in American society and are now converging. There is a public health crisis due to the complete failure of the government to prepare or even respond adequately, which has led to the deaths of over 100,000 people. There is an economic crisis with over 40 million people left unemployed, of which 16 million jobs are expected to be permanently eliminated, and a wave of evictions on the horizon. During this period of crisis, lockdown, and uncertainty for 140 million poor people in the United States, the assets of the billionaires have grown by $434 billion.

Today, the peoples of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe affirm that we are united in the same struggle against the government of the United States, which represses and murders black communities and invades, sanctions, and plunders countries around the world. The state that declared war on the people of the United States is the same that has waged the imperialist war on the people of the world.
