ABOUT US
The Afrodescendant Union (ADU) is Afrodescendants working together
within a framework of human rights and the right of self-determination
that fosters cooperation, collaboration, and solidarity. The ADU is in
collaboration with the Afrodescendant Nation to achieve reparations and
self-determination for Afrodescendants.
We are uniting tribal and nationalist organizations to work collectively for the realization of self-determination and global recognition by other nations.
WHAT IS AN AFRODESCENDANT?
The term Afrodescendant refers to the “descendants of the African victims of the Trans-Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea slave trade. The group includes those of the Sub-Sahara slave trade”, as defined by the United Nations Working Group on People of African Descent.
OUR MISSION
RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION
The Afrodescendant Union exists to promote unity, solidarity, and cooperation among Afrodescendant organizations worldwide, advocate for the rights and interests of Afrodescendants, and work towards the socioeconomic empowerment and cultural preservation of Afrodescendant communities via the right of self-determination and the political status that right effects.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
CURRENT INITIATIVES
Current initiatives of the ADU and its associated members include the United States Afrodescendants independence vote and the regional reparations movement.
The "right of self-determination" is central to the Afrodescendant attainment of justice. By asserting this fundamental human right, Afrodescendants will be empowered to correct all issues. The ADU works to bring massive awareness of this right.
WHAT IS SELF-DETERMINATION
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: "All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development." Via this right, Afrodescendants can become independently self-governing where we live and in control of territorial assets. Asserting the right of self-determination represents the only guaranteed way that Afrodescendants can end the perpetual injustice and poverty that comes from being minority subjects within a racist democratic system. Asserting the right of self-determination instantly puts power in the hands of Afrodescendants.
AFRO-VOTE
According to the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations: "The establishment of a sovereign and independent State, the free association or integration with an independent State or
the emergence into any other political status freely determined by a people constitute modes of implementing the
right of self-determination by that people."
The above are internationally accepted legal methods which Afrodescendants have the freedom to use to establish any political situation if it is the popular will of the community. That popular will is commonly expressed through a vote but any means of expression is lawful including mass demonstrations declaring independence.

There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.
The rights of no oppressed people have ever yet been obtained by a voluntary act of justice on the part of the oppressors.
You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.
