Who We Are

​

The National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants (NAASD) is 501(c3) grassroots association of community activists from across the United States that came together around May 2019 though the pursuit of political education and a desire to understand the plight of our people.

NAASD is committed to educating and training American Freedmen, who are Black American Descendants of US Chattel Slavery, on civic engagement nationwide. By training advocates in the political process, proper non-profit formation, policy writing and an array of other skills, we ensure that members can self advocate at all levels of government.

Our Vision:

NAASD envisions a nation where Black Americans who descend from US Chattel Slavery can fully exercise their constitutional citizenship rights and have economic agency for generations.

Our Mission:

NAASD’s mission is to activate Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States & allies, to self-advocate utilizing humanitarian principles to effect redress of the enduring impacts of slavery and subsequent harms.

The National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants (NAASD) is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 organization committed to advancing the national movement for compensatory Reparations for Black Americans who descend from US slaves, the "American Freedmen".

NAASD is American Freedmen led and therefore focused on directly repairing the issues impacting our Black American communities. We view our goals best achieved through community engagement, empowerment and unity.

NAASD is committed to providing a national program of education and training for American Freedmen focusing on civic engagement and self-advocacy. NAASD engages directly in Black communities with the goal of raising awareness and competency around the US legislative process, American civic rights, political sciences, non-profit formation, policy writing, and other critical tools. We seek to empower our members to self-advocate American Freedmen interests at all levels of government.

Ultimately, our mission of Reparations is to guarantee the economic and future well-being of American Freedmen children and families. NAASD seeks to preserve our Black American communities’ unique lineage and culture for generations to come which in turn serves to heal America and guarantee democracy for all.
