INITIATIVES
African Rising - African Liberation Week (ALW)
Africans Rising has officially opened registration for its annual mass mobilization: African Liberation Week (ALW), which will be observed from May 19th to 25th, 2025. This year’s theme, “A Borderless Africa for All Africans,” builds on the momentum of last year’s mobilization. The campaign continues to amplify the call for free movement across the continent, urging Africans to unite and advocate for a more open, connected Africa.
Through community-driven actions, partnerships, and focused campaigns, ALW 2025 aims to highlight the power of collective action in shaping Africa’s future.
Registration is open until May 12th, 2025.
All Africans are welcome to take part and contribute meaningfully to this year’s African Liberation Week.
