The Sixth Region Diaspora Caucus (SRDC) is scheduled to address the audience at the 2nd Annual Pan African Global Trade and Investment Conference. Representatives will discuss "Historic, Political & Economic Significance of Africa’s Tripartite Free Trade Agreement."
The central
mission of the SRDC is to organize African descendant communities so
they can be prepared to participate in electoral decisions to choose
delegates to join the African Union (AU), which is the current
continental body of 54 African countries. The AU invited the African
Diaspora (AD) to join as members in 2003, and the AD needed to prepare
themselves for that engagement. Along the way, the SRDC, which is a
US-based non-governmental organization in operation since 2006, has
become a collective expert on 21st century Africa, its economic realities, political vicissitudes and its expanding opportunities for political-economic progress.
In the United States, the
SRDC (currently a coalition of 65 different Pan African and reparations
groups) has organized Town Halls and assisted in the elections of
Community Councils of Elders (CCOE) and state representatives in
California, Oregon, Washington State, Ohio, Tennessee, Maryland, South
Carolina and New York, with a large list of other states on schedule
for 2011-2013; including Alaska, Michigan, Florida, Arizona and
Virginia. In addition, the SRDC has a membership-partnership
relationship with the Central American Black Organization (CABO), that represents six of eight Central
American countries, and AUADS-Europe--which developed after a 2007
lecture and organizing visit to the Netherlands--and is now organizing
in ten European countries. There are also SRDC chapters
in Jamaica, WI and Nova Scotia, Canada. The SRDC has spread the word
regarding the AU invitation to Brazil, Barbados, South Africa,
Guadeloupe and Martinique, Germany, and France, each time raising money independently for such visitations.
The 2nd Annual Pan African Global Trade and Investment Conference will take place Friday - Saturday, October 14-15, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at California State University Dominguez Hills, located at 1000 E. Victoria Street, Carson, CA 90747.
