Greetings family, supporters and attendees of the Afrikan Emancipation Day Pan-Afrikan
Reparations Rebellion Groundings

Statement from the Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March Committee (AEDRMC)
and the Stop the Maangamizi: We Charge Genocide/Ecocide! Campaign (SMWeCGEC) regarding co-
organising the 1st Mosiah 2024.

We write to inform you that as much as we are immensely proud of our achievements over
the last 10 years, the Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March Committee has taken a
decision to dissolve the organisation as of 1st Mosiah 2024. Whilst the Stop the Maangamizi
We Charge Genocide/Ecocide Campaign will continue its work at a national
and international level, given the nature of the partnership between AEDRMC and
SMWeCGEC, it has also decided to step back from its core roles on the day.

The SMWeCGEC, will continue, as written into its core campaign aims, to facilitate Pan-Afrikan Reparations Rebellion Groundings (PARRG) in other spaces and other dates during the coming
years. As a core part of the strategic development of the 1st Mosiah, the SMWeCGEC is open to
provide strategic advice and guidance to those who aim to work towards the continuation of
the day, and in whole or part, support the aims of the SMWeCGEC, as we believe this day should continue to be about something greater than just the day.

The last 10 years have not been easy. We have reflected and are looking towards the next
10 years which requires greater tangible commitments to increase capacity/output to fulfil
our part as a contribution to the International Social Movement for Afrikan Reparations
(ISMAR). We also cannot be doing the same thing for the next decade and expecting a
different result. A new energy is required (with the strategic guidance of the SMWeCGEC if required), so that we can move forward with new vigour, innovative approaches and greater capacity to facilitate
Maangamizi counteraction and build power as a necessary step towards effecting and securing holistic reparatory justice.

As we continue to reflect, we encourage those who attended/supported the Pan-Afrikan
Reparations Rebellion Groundings (PARRG) to do the same. In the spirit of Ubuntu and Ma’at we all
bear a measure of responsibility for what we achieve and what we could have done
differently or better. Critical analysis, study and tangible actions are all necessary parts to the
whole of our success and with the guidance of our Ancestors, will identify where we as a people, should go next. We continue this journey of active Sankofa as all AEDRMC members will be part of other Afrikan reparatory justice structures that they have chosen to engage with, so former AEDRMC members and current SMWeCGEC members will be supporting in some form remotely, on the ground on the day and in the background, if required. We do not rest!

To mark this 10-year milestone the AEDRMC and the SMWeCGEC will be launching
commemorative materials through a range of media leading up to and on 1st Mosiah 2024
and beyond, at Windrush Square and via social media.

We trust that our Ancestors will guide the new organisers of 1st Mosiah so that it is a
positive, memorable, powerful and engaging day – but we must remember to take action
the other 364 days of the year lest this annual gathering will not be able to achieve
something tangible and impactful beyond the day itself.

If you are interested in being part of the organizing for 2024 and would like some advice and
guidance regarding operations and logistics, please email info@reparationsmarch.org.
Please note that we do not have the capacity to deal with general public enquiries via phone
calls but messages can be texted via WhatsApp to 07922035446. We ask for your patience in
waiting for a reply.

In closing, we trust that you will continue to support the SMWeCGEC and its key goals and milestones within the Stop TheMaangamizi Petition and the wider work which can be found on
