Belgium: Bruxelles Panthères

Bruxelles Panthères fights against all forms of imperial domination, colonial and Zionist who founded the white supremacist internationally. We are working to build the political community of all those and all those who refuse the concealment of domination and oppression inscribed in the history and state institutions of Western countries. We affirm that no future is possible if we are not inspired by past and current resistance.

We must teach the objective of history so that new generations do not reproduce past crimes. Learning from the past to build a better future.

Our main objective is to converge within the same racist and decolonial dynamic, all resistance areas that will give the inhabitants of the popular districts of Brussels.

Holland: International Institute for Scientific Research

The International Institute for Scientific Research (IISR) in The Hague, Holland, is an institute that is devoted to exploring the colonizing and decolonizing of the mind.

IISR wants to build an academic infrastructure for researchers in and outside the academia to conduct and promote scientific research from the perspective of decolonizing the mind. Researchers outside the academia are often very critical of the research in the academia but lack the infrastructure to develop their projects. IISR wants to build such an infrastructure especially for these researchers.

IISR publishes a newsletter, organizes conferences, workshops and seminars. IISR has an arrangement with Amrit Publishers to publish a series titled Decolonizing The Mind edited by Sandew Hira (director of IISR) and Stephen Small (professor of the University of California Berkeley).
