Afroprep-NOW! Program Update: Agenda Shift in Response to Global Crisis

The world is entering a dangerously unstable phase. The escalating crisis in Iran threatens to ignite a full-scale regional war — possibly even a global one. But this is just one flashpoint among many.  From the nationwide Abolish ICE uprisings and the rise of the far-right, to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, famine in the Congo, rising tensions with China, and the unchecked emergence of AGI — we are facing a convergence of human-made and natural disasters unlike anything in modern history. Add to this the threats of bioterrorism, Factor-X viruses, climate catastrophe, and mass unrest, and the need for a rapid program overhaul becomes clear.

DEFCON-2 "Fast Pace" Workshops

Our new Afroprep-NOW! workshop series is built around a repurposed version of the Strategic Air Command’s DEFCON (Defense Readiness Condition) protocol—originally used by the U.S. military to gauge the threat level of nuclear war. Today, we’re adapting that same scale for a new kind of battlefield—one marked by climate collapse, global war, political extremism, economic breakdowns, bioterrorism, and technological threats like AGI. 

"The trouble is, you think you have time."

The Anthropocene is a historical period (epoch) that describes the influence of human activity on Earth's ecosystems. Climate change and global warming are among its most severe side effects.

Many African-American and Afro-Descendant communities around the world will be hit hardest by the climate crisis's devastating impact. Endemic poverty, lack of resources and systemic racism will dramatically amplify its most destructive effects such as:

Cataclysmic floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, emerging diseases, heatwaves, droughts, famines, food/fresh water shortages and climate migration.

    In addition to anthropocene related crises, There will also be numerous catastrophic disasters racial/ethnic/religious violence & war.

    The Afroprep-NOW! Global Black Survival Initiative will help African-American and Afro-Descendent communities across the nation and around the world to prepare for all of these disasters and much more
