Resist AFRICOM is a campaign comprised of concerned U.S. and Africa-based organizations and individuals opposed to the new U.S. military command for Africa (AFRICOM).

AFRICOM expands of the role of the U.S. military in Africa—potentially shifting humanitarian resources from civilians to military personnel. We reject this militarization of foreign aid. Instead, our vision is a comprehensive U.S. foreign policy grounded in true partnership with the African Union, African governments, and civil society on peace, justice, security, and development.

President Bush may have created AFRICOM, but Congress still needs to fund it. On March 12th, call members of Congress in the House and the Senate and ask them to stand against the militarization of foreign assistance in Africa. Add your voice to the call for a responsible US foreign policy that respects the dignity and capacity of its African partners.
