For more than four decades, NBUF has focused our activism and organizing around battlefronts including: social justice activism/organizing, humanitarian aid/relief, African-centered education, electoral representation, community-based programs, collective economic power and institution building. 

NBUF’s international organizing has included the FREE AZANIA (South Africa) movement and the NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT in Grenada. In the U.S., NBUF’s has fought against white racist terror, including police terror, advocated freedom for political prisoners and prisoners of war; worked for reparations (NDABA unification); and pushed to stop gentrification. NBUF also charged the U.S. government with genocide at the United Nations for the CIA’s role in trafficking crack cocaine in Black communities.

Our humanitarian aid/relief work has reached Grenada, Haiti, Rwanda, Tanzania, New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Houston following Hurricane Harvey. Our ongoing, decades-long efforts in local communities include the FEED the HOOD project, mentoring, Saturday School, curriculum development, public speakers, cultural expressions, bus to prisons programs, study circles, protest, rallies, forums, spiritual ceremonies, and national mobilizations.
