We don’t believe freedom comes in an envelope from Raleigh or Washington. Black Men Build exists because no politician, no party, and no single election has ever handed our people liberation.

Power has always been built in our homes, on our blocks, in our circles and our organizations.

But we also know this. The people who hold power in this state are counting on us to stay home on November 3.

That alone is reason enough to show up, eyes open.

So let’s study what’s actually on the ballot.

Sunday Sept 27th // REAL Talk at @shrineoftheblackstar with @bookerbbbrown //

Clear: Cultural Work is a part of my work. There are ways life shows us new versions of ourselves and I have to say, organizing with the brothas of BMB on the cusp of becoming a parent was a major evolution for me. Inside and outside. I’m most grateful for the community we’ve built here, the cultural workers and artists and, wild enough, how many present black fathers I’ve met and get the opportunity to walk alongside. This opportunity to chop it up with brotha Mark Anthony Neal confirmed I’m right where I need to be on this journey. Thank you.

Thank you to @bbennettweston for hearing that podcast in May and sayin, “BMB should connect with MAN. Sounds like yall are doing similar things!” It was at that meeting that he gave us the early copy of his upcoming book. And here we are!

Big shoutouts to @djuan____ for seeing the need to give brotha MAN his flowers and celebrate his new book, Save a Seat for Me: Notes on American Fatherhood here in Durham. Righteous work. Thank you to @diaslight333 for the glorious works being made in the space and for all of the pre, day of, and post-event work to make the space what it needed to be to hold the people.

To @shambomedina , thank you for answering the call to lead us in ritual to bring in the names of the fathers and parents we have lost. It’s not a small thing to commemorate our people and you did so beautifully. Thanks brotha.

Brotha comrade @studiophill_ pulled up and gathered some images for us, honored all requests and made sure we were good with where we landed. That’s the work.

Cultural workers are needed now more than ever. What’s happening in Durham is special. What’s happening now is necessary for us to be building a bigger Blacker future.

Thank y’all for all the support and love shown, peace to @blackmenbuildnc and all other friends and comrades who pulled up, gave feedback and notes for making the next ones even better. Catch the next one with Elder Eddie Swan in the coming weeks!

#TakeBackTech this Saturday from 3 pm - 5 pm presented by #BlackMenBuildATL

Technology is not just computers. It’s everything from clothes to language to art and processes. By understanding what technology truly is and how it works, we can empower ourselves to take back tech and build towards our liberation.

At Black Men Build, one of our 9 Bars is to ensure technology works for us, and not at the cost of people or planet; not for war or profit. Technology should assist labor, not replace workers. We should have free internet and utilities for all!

Come through if you want to stop being a passive consumer and become an active participant in building your ideal future. By repairing our relationship with technology, we can take back tech from the corporations and governments who wish to control us.

Address:

1324 Campbellton Rd SW
Atlanta GA 30310
