Black Alliance for Peace
Black Alliance for Peace (also referred to as BAP) is a people(s)-centered human rights project against war, repression, and imperialism. The Open Collective is the fiscal sponsor of the formation. The mission of the organization is "to recapture and redevelop the historic anti-war, anti-imperialist, and pro-peace positions of the radical black movement." History
Founded in April 2017 by Ajamu Baraka, the Black Alliance for Peace is part of the renewed effort to organize the anti-war movement based within the Black community in the United States. The organization's founding members agreed to ten points of unity: the right to self defense; self determination; anti-imperialism; working-class foundation; intersectionality; anti-patriarchy; decolonization; prisoner support; black unity; and southern roots.

Objectives
The organization is simultaneously campaigning on nearly a dozen various issues, with a focus on peace, people-centered human rights, and anti-imperialism education. Domestically, BAP opposes Israeli training of American police forces and the Department of Defense's 1033 program that allows military grade equipment to transfer into the possession of civilian police departments. In addition to calling for accountability for police brutality and the elimination of Operation Relentless Pursuit, the organization is calling for a 50% reduction in the U.S. military budget to finance the human-rights needs of the American public. The organization is calling on the U.S. Congress to pass legislation in support of the abolition of nuclear weapons. On foreign affairs, BAP's primary campaign is its demand to shut down the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and end all U.S. intervention on the continent of Africa. This is reinforced by BAP's other aims to abolish NATO, close the 800+ U.S. foreign military bases, end all foreign interventions and illegal sanctions, and to uphold global norms by complying with international law.
