The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) was established in 2007 and now operates across 54 African nations. Despite claims of partnership and counter-terrorism, AFRICOM has fueled instability, enabled coups, and imposed U.S. corporate and strategic interests at the expense of African lives and sovereignty.

BAP’s U.S. Out of Africa / Shut Down AFRICOM campaign builds an international coalition of Africans in Africa and the diaspora demanding the withdrawal of all U.S. military forces, the closure of all U.S. bases, and an end to proxy warfare across the continent.

The Zone of Peace campaign demands that the United States recognize the right of all nations in the Americas and Caribbean to self-determination, free from military coercion, illegal sanctions, and regime-change operations directed from Washington.

Inspired by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) declaration of the Americas as a Zone of Peace, BAP organizes within the United States to build popular opposition to SOUTHCOM, the Monroe Doctrine, and U.S. interference in Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and beyond.

The No Compromise, No Retreat campaign is the political spine of the Black Alliance for Peace. It asserts that genuine peace requires a decisive break with U.S. imperialism — not accommodation to it. We refuse the bipartisan consensus that treats U.S. militarism as inevitable or benign.

This campaign coordinates BAP’s domestic organizing with international solidarity, demanding an end to the permanent war economy, the closure of U.S. military bases abroad, and the defunding of the police-military apparatus at home.
