National Black Radical Organizing Conference

The National Black Radical Organizing Conference (NBROC) is a dynamic coalition born from a long-standing hunger for Black self-determination. Today, as we face the enemies—imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy—NBROC is the space for a new generation to discuss, debate, train, and build a collective way forward.

This conference is explicitly independent from both parties of the American duopoly, Republican and Democrat. At this conference, we will help organizers further establish the skills to build a base beyond the duopoly. We sharpen our methods of strategy, hone our communication skills, refine our ethics, strengthen our analysis, identify our needs, and bring new people along with us. We dive into sessions on organizing tactics, community care, actionable strategies and campaigns that organizers are actively engaged in building.

2025 Conference Review

"It’s one thing to read about the Black Left but to witness it in motion is another phenomenon entirely...Each organizer at this conference moves with a sense of purpose and urgency that is undoubtedly reflective of their ideology, an ideology steeped within the Black Radical Tradition which calls into question the oppression endured by Black and other oppressed people. This tradition not only critiques capitalism, imperialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy, but also requires one to be disciplined and diligent. These qualities are embodied by organizers like Erica Caines, Kamau Franklin, Josh Ingram, and many others. Every move and decision made by these organizers brims with a poised confidence. Yet, the confidence never bleed into arrogance. Actually, it was quite the opposite. They maintained a hopeful and buoyant presence that flooded the atmosphere. A hope that can only be grasped and truly understood by a group like this. Witnessing a mass of Black radicals and their comrades conversing and debating with one another is electrifying. One cannot but get swept up in the sheer gravity of the moment..."  - excerpt from a review by Ryan Mills in Grassroots Thinking
