REF 14: SUP Officially Declares July 26 as the Continuation of the March for Jobs and Justice; Mandates all Cells Across the Country to Initiate Active and Immediate Mobilization
Ideological stalwarts of massescracy, the march for jobs and justice generation, poverty-stricken students, farmers, livestock herders, mine workers, teachers, nurses, doctors and our fellow Liberian compatriots, we bring you a bountiful outpouring of revolutionary salutations from the Student Unification Party.
To all our fellow citizens of the republic who have been placed on the margins of the economy, we have come here to reaffirm a fundamental truth that has invariably tested true before history, which asserts that the popular aspirations of the people cannot be liquidated by the brute force of the militarized state apparatus of any regime.
The revolutionary Vanguard Student Unification Party-SUP officially declares to all Liberians that we will reconvene on July 26 to demand jobs and justice from a government that has betrayed the hopes of the masses. Our profound sense of national responsibility was the motor force that plunged us into the vortex of struggle on April 14.
On April 14, we marched briefly because of the colossal gap between the self-indulgent political class and the impoverished Liberian masses; we mobilized the people and directed their radical energy against the discredited regime, but instead of engaging us in a democratic dialogue, the Boakai-Koung government unleashed its state police to dislodge us. We were brutalized on April 14, but our resolve remains unbending. On July 26, we will return to the streets and defend the rights of ordinary Liberians whose lives remain in the throes of unbearable destitution.
We live in a country blessed with a multiplicity of natural resources including gold, diamond, iron ore and timber, but the political economy of the state is structured in a way that benefits multinational corporations and a criminal minority when the rest of the people are left to rot in ruins and tatters.
The state does not serve its organic purpose; instead, its function is to operate as a means of wealth extraction for those in power. Government ministries and agencies are the reward centers where salaries are inflated, but hospitals and schools that truly matter are marginalized.
At this point, we must address the first pillar of our struggle, which is the cataclysmic crisis of unemployment in Liberia. Jobs are economic instruments of human dignity, social identity and citizenship. When a state fails to provide the macroeconomic environment necessary to generate decent employment for its population, it is guilty of committing an act of administrative negligence.
In Liberia today, unemployment is a national emergency. About 74.5% of our population is under the age of 35, ranking Liberia as one of the countries with the youngest populations on the African continent. This unavoidable fact should be a massive asset because young people bring innovation, dynamism, energy and creativity to the workforce, and they are capable of transforming our agriculture, infrastructure and technology sectors.
Instead, due to incompetence and lack of vision, this youth advantage has been transformed into a crisis of mass marginalization. From Monrovia to Gbarnga, Voinjama, Kakata, Ganta, Bopolu, etc., one will see an entire generation that has been abandoned by the state. We have thousands of young men and women who have spent several years studying, acquiring degrees, and developing skills, only to find themselves in the informal economy where they can barely afford their basic needs, but are reduced to hustling and living hand-to-mouth as well as begging without any hope for the future.
Under the Boakai-Koung cartel, the salaries and benefits of lawmakers and senior ministers constitute an unacceptable percentage of our national budget, but the budget for vocational training, technical education and youth empowerment is extremely insignificant. The government expects our youth to be useful only during electoral seasons by acting as foot soldiers and praise singers. Once the elections are over and power is secured, these same youths are discarded like cannon fodders and pushed back to the margins of society.
The second component of our movement is the relentless demand for justice. In Liberia, the word justice has been dispossessed of its moral substance and reduced into a pale word used in political speeches. The reality on the ground is that we are living under an entrenched system of institutionalized injustice and selective application of the law.
The excesses of the state are manifested daily through the culture of impunity. We have witnessed monumental scandals of corruption where millions of dollars intended for public infrastructure, health and education have evaporated into thin air. The individuals responsible for these economic crimes against the state are not prosecuted; instead, they are promoted and allowed to flaunt their ill-gotten wealth in the faces of the starving masses. However, when a high-ranking government official steals millions of dollars from the national treasury, an act that deprives thousands of citizens of health care and clean water, they are treated with respect and protected by state security.
This is the definition of a dual justice system, which offers mercy and impunity to the rich and powerful, but brutalizes and incarcerates the poor.
Furthermore, we cannot speak of justice without addressing the deep structural inequality embedded in our social fabric. The Liberian state has failed to address historical injustices related to land rights, gender equity and regional development. The rural areas of our country remain disconnected from the center, lacking roads, electricity and basic human services, but the political elites in Monrovia live in gated communities and fly abroad for medical check-ups. This uneven development is an act of injustice against millions of our compatriots living in the hinterlands. The judiciary that is supposed to be the last bastion of hope for ordinary citizens has largely become an instrument for the preservation of class privilege. Bribery, political interference and administrative incompetence have compromised the integrity of our courts. Ordinary Liberians have lost faith in the legal system. Our demand for justice is about dismantling the entire structure of impunity and establishing a society where all Liberians, regardless of their social status, are equal before the law.
Comrades, we have chosen July 26 as the date for our next national march because we believe it is time to have an honest, unembellished conversation about what independence means for the average Liberian. On July 26, 1847, Liberia declared itself a sovereign nation, becoming Africa’s first independent republic. Every year, the state organizes elaborate celebrations and military parades to commemorate this day. Official orators are selected to deliver beautiful speeches filled with historical nostalgia, celebrating a sovereignty that exists only on paper.
However, this so-called independent state has a national budget that is heavily dependent on foreign aid. This republic claims to be sovereign, but it cannot feed itself, relying on the importation of rice from Asia. We cannot celebrate independence when our children are dying of preventable diseases, and we cannot celebrate freedom when the state uses the police force to brutalize citizens who dare to ask for jobs and justice. No amount of intimidation, brute force or state-sponsored terror will turn us back because the countdown to July 26 has begun.
Conclusively, in strict conformity with our historical obligation as the conscious soul of the Liberian masses, the revolutionary Vanguard Student Unification Party, through its 34th Politburo and Central Committee, hereby mandates all cells across the 15 political subdivisions of Liberia, including campus and district branches, to immediately commence active and aggressive recruitment and mobilization efforts ahead of the March for Jobs and Justice, which is scheduled to occur during the July 26 celebration.
The material conditions of our people continue to decline in geometrical progression, beyond all possible thresholds of endurance. Therefore, all botanical extensions of the Vanguard Student Unification Party, in Montserrado, B**g, Nimba, Grand Bassa, Lofa, Margibi, etc. and regardless of your location on the geographic axis of the state, must, from the moment of this press conference, unleash revolutionary energy and shift into the mode of grassroots mobilization, directly engaging high schools, universities, intellectual centers, vocational institutions, labor unions, villagers and marketers to recruit, build concrete alliances and baptize the people in the blaze of revolutionary education as we March for Jobs and Justice July 26.
Long live massescracy!
Long live SUP!
DONE AND ISSUED ON THIS 12TH DAY OF JUNE A.D. 2026 BY AND THRU THE MANDATE OF THE 34TH POLITBURO AND CENTRAL COMMITTEE CONCOMITANTLY OF THE VANGUARD STUDENT UNIFICATION PARTY.
