Current Projects
David Walker New Hanover County Abolitionist Reading Group
We believe that reading is integral to struggle. Communities must create shared linguistic and conceptual frameworks in order to move toward a common future. We are partnering with a number of area organizations to enliven traditions of radical Blackness and navigate abolitionist texts.
Assata Shakur Books and Brunch Program
Rooted in the legacy of the Free Breakfast Program initiated by the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in 1968, we look to collaborate with local organizations to host monthly Books & Brunch events as a space for community members to socialize over delicious food and celebrate the joy of reading and learning. We look to make available books for purchase and borrowing as well as establishing and facilitating a children’s book sharing network.
Abraham galloway project for democratic engagement
We believe that advocacy is the connective tissue between hope and change. We have years of expertise in legislative advocacy and political organizing typically associated with advocacy, but we view advocacy in a larger scope.
Advocacy Issues:
Abolition
Reparations
Decolonization / Landback
Gender Equity
Sexual Liberation
Education (K-12 & Higher Ed)
Ecological/Climate Futures
Ella Baker Project For Academic Mentorship
We are intimate with the perils and pitfalls of being a first generation college student. For these reasons, we look to extend our wisdom of how to plan for and navigate higher education, our worldwide network of contacts in colleges and universities, expertise in academic mentorship, and one day, hopefully financial resources to students in New Hanover County who are interested in pursuing higher education and graduate and/or professional school.
Revolutionary masculinities
We intimately recognize the precarity and pitfalls of Black male life and seek to foster a space allowing for Black boys and men to grapple with and heal from traumas facing those identifying or perceived as Black and masculine, as well as challenge the systems, structures, and conditions reinforcing the gender and sexual stereotypes, norms, and expectations underpinned by colonial logics.
Calvin B. Harrison -
Street medic/survival school
From car crashes, to work related incidents, to gun violence, accidents happen all of the time that communities are ill-equipped to mitigate. Throughout grade school, we are taught a gamut of frivolous lessons regarding trauma care, for example, nearly everyone has “stop, drop, and roll” instilled in our psyche despite a lack of evidence suggesting that being caught on fire is a serious threat to everyday life. Honoring the life of the late Special Forces Medic, Calvin B. Harrison, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, ANUBIS looks to equip community members to respond to traumatic events while they wait for professional medical help to arrive. We aim to connect communities with educational resources through partnering with national organizations like Stop the Bleed and professional trauma care specialists.
