Who We Are

The December 12th Movement, is a Black human rights organization based in New York City. We have organized political actions leading toward local and national mass mobilizations on racism, self-determination, reparations, quality health care, housing, criminal justice, and education. Our signature, dynamic street rallies and marches and forums have included the NYC “Days of Outrage’, the annual Malcolm X ‘Shut Em Down’ marches in Harlem on May 19, the Million Youth March in partnership with the late Dr. Khalid Muhammad, the first Millions for Reparations rally in Washington DC.
