To the members of the OBS—both past and present, as well as those who have made their transition—we stand on their shoulders. In the spirit of Imani, we value their contributions to the freedom struggles.

OBS has been fighting for our members, friends and neighbors who were impacted by the May 16th Tornado. It’s past time for real government relief. Our suffering from a fierce tornado is worsened because of bureaucratic politricking.

The Organization for Black Struggle would like to express our gratitude for all those who have been on the 45-year journey with us. To our members—past, current and those who have joined the ancestors—for their contributions to the freedom struggles. To our supporters who have given us their time, ideas, energies, constructive criticisms and money to ensure our ability to continue the fight.

Check out our Year End review.

OBS has devoted much of its organizational time and resources to this pillar of our foundational work. We have seen progress but it is not fast enough nor expansive enough. Greater, more strategic efforts must be waged against a system that is eating our communities alive.
