OVERVIEW

The ability to struggle against oppression is the cornerstone of resistance.  ANWO follows in the footsteps of our foremothers who, when faced with freedom or slavery, chose the hard road of freedom.  As part of the oppressed African nation, African women,  face serious conditions worldwide. The conditions run the gamut from abject poverty to violence; one often feeding the other. At the root of it all, however, is colonialism – which maintains the system of capitalist exploitation.  Capitalism exists at the expense of African poor working-class people.  It provides the very best for the people of the oppressor nation at the expense of the African nation.  We carry out our work to sever the tentacles of colonialism, in the lives of African women.

ABOUT THE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

The Political Action Committee is rooted in our campaigns which are carried out at the branch level. Our political action campaigns organize our members and poor working-class African women to resist colonial-imposed contradictions. The political basis for our campaigns and programs are created from the ground up, in the African community.
