Political Prisoners, Prisoners of War & Liberation

​

The FTP Movement maintains that no one is truly free until our frontline warriors are returned to the community. We relentlessly advocate for the immediate and unconditional release of our freedom fighters, recognizing that their struggle behind bars is not a separate issue, but a direct extension of our struggle in the streets.

​

Over the years, we have organized, mobilized, and fought for the liberation of those targeted by the state for their commitment to the people. Our work honors and fights for the freedom of:

​

• Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier, symbols of international resistance against state framed-ups.

​

• Imam Jamil Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), whose leadership remains a beacon of revolutionary faith.

​

• Veterans of the struggle such as Sekou Odinga, Kamau Sadiki, Veronza Bowers, Ruchell Magee, and Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, who have endured decades of captivity for their dedication to Black liberation.

​

• Jeff Fort, Xinachtli, Larry Hoover and numerous others who have been targeted by the carceral system in an attempt to break the spirit of community organization.

​

We do not view these individuals as "criminals," but as Prisoners of War and political targets. Our mission is to amplify their voices, provide material support, and dismantle the walls that separate our heroes from the people they serve.

Anti-Police Terrorism, Systemic Racism & The Wrongfully Accused

​

The FTP Movement stands as a shield for the community against the relentless tide of state-sanctioned violence and the judicial lynching of our people. We do not view "police brutality" as a series of isolated incidents, but as Police Terrorism—a systemic tool used to maintain domestic colonialism and instill fear in oppressed neighborhoods.

​

Our work in this arena is a commitment to justice for the martyred and a demand for accountability from a system designed to protect its own. We honor the memories and fight for the legacies of those stolen from us:

​

• Kathryn Johnston: A 92-year-old grandmother murdered in her own home during a botched "no-knock" raid by Atlanta police. Her death remains a haunting reminder of the state’s total disregard for Black life, regardless of age or innocence.

​

• Troy Anthony Davis: Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence and a global outcry for justice, the state of Georgia executed Troy Davis in 2011. His case stands as a permanent indictment of the death penalty and the lethal fallibility of the American legal system.

​

• Bernard Burden: A 21-year-old young man found hanging from a tree 45 minutes outside of Atlanta. Despite the horrific nature of his death—found with a noose around his neck—the state and media often attempt to sanitize or ignore the reality of modern-day lynchings. We refuse to let his name be forgotten or his death be dismissed as anything less than a white supremacist atrocity.

From Survival to Sovereignty: The Evolution of Feed The People

​​

What began in 2004 as a localized response to hunger has evolved into a global powerhouse of resistance and self-sufficiency. The Feed The People Program has been the cornerstone of our movement’s survival mandate, moving beyond the traditional charity model to embrace Urban Agriculture and food sovereignty. We recognize that a dependent people cannot be a free people. Therefore, we transitioned from merely distributing meals to building the infrastructure necessary for our communities to feed themselves. 

​

Several years ago, the FTP Movement launched the Annual International Feed the People Weekend, a massive, synchronized effort to bring global attention to the gross injustices committed against the hungry and the poor. We worked in solidarity across three continents.

​

With over 20 participating locations, the FTP Movement crossed international waters to provide services in Zambia, Kenya, and Australia, while maintaining a fierce presence in U.S. hubs like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Brooklyn, Charlotte, and our home base of Atlanta.

​

Since its inception, the Feed the People Program has served over 300,000 meals and care packages in major metropolitan areas worldwide. However, our vision has broadened. We are no longer just filling plates; we are planting seeds. We provide direct sustenance to our neighborhoods, operating under the principle that revolution begins with meeting the material needs of the masses. Urban agriculture is mandatory because a People’s Army that cannot feed itself is an army held hostage by the state’s supply lines; by turning our soil into a source of survival, we transform "food deserts" into liberated zones of self-sufficiency.

Building Urban Agriculture & Food Sovereignty

​

To combat "food deserts" and systemic neglect, the FTP Movement is aggressively shifting toward Urban Agriculture. This means:

​

• Community Gardens: Transforming vacant lots into sources of organic produce.

• Educational Workshops: Teaching urban survival skills, composting, and seasonal planting.

• Sustainable Infrastructure: Creating local food networks that bypass exploitative corporate grocery chains.
