On April 27, 2015, the Oregon chapter of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) initiated a free breakfast program in the New Columbia neighborhood of North Portland.
The objective of the breakfast program is to demonstrate socialist principles in meeting a fundamental need for our people while creating the environment where we have regular access to children and adults for ongoing political education activities focused around Africa, Pan-Africanism, and socialism.
The breakfast program takes place every Monday and Friday from 7am to 8am. The children are fed a healthy breakfast while A-APRP organizers shower each child with lots of positive attention and inspiration. When school is out in the summer, we will institute a more formal education process that will complement the food being served. This program is part of a larger focus to promote and expand the work of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party. The New Columbia area of Portland was chosen to carry out this work because it has the largest density of African people in Oregon. Africans represent 20% of the residents in New Columbia and 11% of the people who live there are born outside the U.S. which makes for outstanding conditions for our Pan-African work.
