The organization campaigns on various issues, including focus on peace, people-centered
human rights, and
anti-imperialism education. BAP opposes Israeli training of American police forces and the
Department of Defense's 1033 program that allows military grade equipment to transfer into the possession of civilian police departments. In addition, the organization has called for
accountability for police brutality, elimination of
Operation Relentless Pursuit, and a 50% reduction in the
U.S. military budget in order to finance human rights needs of the American public. The organization also called on the
U.S. Congress to pass legislation which supported
abolition of nuclear weapons. BAP has campaigned to shut down the
U.S. Africa Command, otherwise known as AFRICOM, and end any U.S. intervention on the
African continent. This goal is reinforced by the organization's other aims, including abolition of
NATO, closing the 800+
U.S. foreign military bases, ending all foreign interventions and
U.S. government sanctions on other countries, and U.S. compliance with
international law. BAP, along with other organizations, leads an effort to activate the popular movements in support of a 2014 all by the
Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to make the Americas region a “Zone of Peace." For BAP, this call to action is part of an attempt to expel any nefarious forces supporting structures and interests that generate war and
state violence, including
colonialism,
patriarchy,
capitalism, and all forms of
imperialism, from the Americas. BAP has also coordinated with the
Party for Socialism and Liberation, Baltimore Student Union, Friends of Latin America, Baltimore BLOC, and other organizations to protest the
Israeli bombing of Gaza after
attack on Israel by Hamas, and other paramilitary groups, on October 7, 2023, called for the end of the
Israeli occupation of Gaza, and reiterated their support for
Palestinian rights. ==See also==
