African Diaspora United was created to mobilize the diaspora when any crisis arises that severely impacts anyone in the diaspora. It reduces friction when urgent aid is needed. In addition, it is a platform that inspires, connects, educates and promotes unity.
We have some real audacious goals, but we are confident that when we as a community come together, anything is possible.
We witnessed several events where we saw anti-blackness being displayed on a global stage. We saw our people left behind, mistreated and discarded. We didn't like it. So we decided to do something about it.
Our community was informed of our plan of action. They rallied behind the cause with unprecented vigor.
Systems were put in place to coordinate community engagement. People from all over the world, from many different cultures, many different countries came together all united on this singular objective.
During this period, the platform will continue to be built out. The community will continue to work together to detemine the best solutions while gathering and collecting data. We hope to have the platform up and running by year end.
