FTP Movement Info, News & Snippets.

The FTP Movement is where theory meets practice— minus the empty rhetoric, mindless activism and fashionable militancy. The organization views the Liberation Struggle as an ongoing process with reachable goals that could be met through consistent dedication. With members spreading across the nation, FTP’s foundation is built on love, respect, loyalty, discipline and principled unity. Their mission is to raise political awareness, and engage and inspire people to take an active role in building the community.

FTP represents globally, with active chapters in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Jacksonville, Denver and Newark, NJ. The movement’s list of supports include members of Public Enemy, Arrested Development, Dead Prez, The Welfare Poets and a bevy of independent artists around the country.

“How to Build a People’s Army” is a guide to successful community organizing on a basic and practical level.  Over the years, it seems like the overall art of grassroots organizing has been lost.  As the result of a failure of communication between generations, technological weapons of mass distraction and over exasperated grand illusions of capitalism, our future is headed towards a downward spiral. Protocol, discipline, political education, loyalty and respect seem to be absent from today’s liberation struggle.  This first edition of How to Build a People’s Army is a basic training manual of sorts, filled with jewels that have worked for comrades and myself in an effort to ATM – Arm the Masses – with proper information.  Salute to all the warriors that are working on behalf of our people, without a doubt victory is inevitable.
