The People’s Justice Project, during the ‘hot phase’ of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014 when African (black) people were engaged in spontaneous revolt over the countless assassinations of Eric Garner, Mike Brown, John Crawford, and Tamir Rice, created favorable conditions to accelerate the dynamics of political life for the African (black) working class. In analyzing the national conditions which gave birth to Black Lives Matter, the People’s Justice Project reinforced and insisted on building an organization to house the energy of the African masses in Ohio in a revolutionary trajectory. People’s Justice Project became a mass or popular political organization seeking to answer the ideological, philosophical and class question from the black revolution of the 60s. PJP is a political organization, that organizes the Black working class and other oppressed people leading the struggle against all state institutions that oppress or occupy our communities, whose survival has been assured time and again by linking our struggle to the struggle of the African working class and all oppressed people.
