Afrosphere's Black Accused Support Groups

The Afrosphear's Black Accused Support Coalition invites you to join them in their fight against injustice in the criminal justice system. Look for the icon in support of the BASC and contact its members.


The Afrosphere invites individuals to join the Afrosphere's Black Accused Support Groups (BASG), which is a national union of the blogs set up for Black people seeking justice from the American criminal (in)justice system.

Black Accused Support Groups blogs are interlinked across America to provide support, lay advice and information to Black accuseds, victims of criminal system injustice, their families, friends and communities. When Blacks demand justice, we speak not as isolated individuals; we speak as "One Nation Under and AfroSpear."

The way to start a local Black Accused Support Group (BASG) within the Afrosphere is to (1) start a Black blog that tells the history of one or more accused Black people. (2)Include within that blog a “Welcome to the Afrosphere” list of Afrosphere blogs, (3) using the AfroSpear icon in the Blog layout to identify this blog as part of the Afrosphere and part of the International Black Accused Support Group Coalition. (4)Advocates who do not know how to start a blog can request help from any member of the Afrosphere and receive immediate assistance and directions for starting a BASG blog.

The issues raised and advocacy raised in these independent BASC blogs will likely receive spontaneous or organized support in the Afrosphere consistent with the compelling nature of the case and the effectiveness of the presentation made in the BASC blog.

Because Afrosphere blogs are independent and spontaneously organized, all Black people have an opportunity to present their case to the nation that there is a Black person wrongly accused or unjustly sentenced.

The BASG’s can be another way to help stop urban violence, uniting the families of warring factions behind the common goal of freeing those community members who have been imprisoned and preventing others who are currently defendants from receiving unjust and excessive convictions and sentences. BASG can advocate for increased funding for alternative sentencing modalities, like drug and alcohol treatment and accused participation in BASG support groups.

Do you know someone who needs BASC help? If so, pass this information to them or their group immediately!
