Community Movement Builders Detroit YUSEF BUNCHY SHAKUR, DETROIT CHAPTER LEAD ORGANIZER

Yusef Bunchy Shakur, is a father, author, educator, community organizer, and entrepreneur.

COMMUNITY MOVEMENT BUILDERS ​is a member-based collective of black people building sustainable, self-determining communities through cooperative economic platforms and collective community organizing. He grew up in a struggling single parent household surrounded by violence and crime and eventually co-founded the notorious street gang “Zone 8”, which led to his incarceration at the age of nineteen

for a crime he says he did not commit. He met his father for the first time in prison where they were both serving time. During his sentence he began a journey of transformation, in large part thanks to his father, from a gang member into an revolutionary who would eventually leave prison and continue on a path of redemption. Today Yusef travels the country to speak to youth about his experiences and to steer young people away from a life of violence and crime and to organize for change in the neighborhood of "Zone 8" where members of his family and many friends still live.

OUR PEOPLE NEED A GENERAL STRIKE!

Detroit is no stranger to capitalist crises and abuse. Trump and his racist deportation machine is attacking our neighbors, with 7 Mile and Telegraph being one of the latest sites of ICE terror, kidnapping Black immigrants in broad daylight. Meanwhile corporations like DTE kick us out of our homes and make our utilities unaffordable. Enough is enough, we have to shut the system down.

We can’t afford to give up our power, give up our lives, and wait for the midterms we need ICE OUT NOW! Minnesota has made the call, will you answer?

NO WORK! NO SCHOOL! NO SHOPPING!

Somali and Black student organizations in Minneapolis are calling for a general strike in Minnesota and nationwide, after the execution-style murder of Alex Pretti. They’re asking all pro-immigrant forces around the country to share this graphic and support the call. We all saw the historic action on Friday in Minneapolis, and we haven’t seen anything like this in decades.

Community Movement Builders condemns in the strongest possible terms the criminal military aggression unleashed by the United States government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on January 3, 2026. This unprovoked assault, marked by bombings of civilian and military infrastructure, violations of Venezuelan sovereignty, and the unlawful seizure of the country’s elected leadership, constitutes an act of imperial war and a flagrant violation of international law.
