We honor the life and legacy of Assata Shakur, a woman whose very name, meaning “she who struggles,” embodies a lifetime of commitment to justice and liberation.
For freedom-loving people everywhere, Assata Shakur’s legacy is carried in the enduring power of her words:
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
She represents the unbreakable link between our people’s fight for basic rights and dignity in the U.S., and the international struggle against U.S. imperialism. She reminds us that the quest for liberation is our duty, and that solidarity across borders is essential to its success.
Thank you Assata for your love and light.
Thank you Cuba for loving her and keeping her safe.
Long live Assata Shakur!
Long live the liberation struggle!
Onward, until liberation!
