BAMN (By Any Means Necessary): What is it?

We are an integrated, youth-led civil rights/immigrant rights organization committed to building the new civil rights movement. This moment in history calls for bold leaders who are prepared to stand on the truth and lead through action. BAMN exists to develop the conscious political method needed to turn our struggles into fights that can win learning both from the successes and mistakes of our own struggles, and from the most successful leaders of mass movements like Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglass.

Our movement is integrated and international, and we are fighting for fundamental equality and freedom for all of humanity, for a new kind of society. We are fighting to put the oppressed in power. Our movement fights for open borders, for a definition of citizenship that says if you live here, work here, go to school here, contribute to this society, you are a citizen and should have full citizenship rights. We are not a ‘single issue’ campaign because the struggles are not separate, and we can’t win if we separate them. If you agree with the views and demands in this leaflet, BAMN is for you.
