With a yellow with subtle black lines background is black box across the bottom third of the flyer and a red box going down across almost one quarter of the right side. Going down the right side, in red, are the words "Weekly Meeting" with the Black Writers Group logo. (The logo is a grey fist holding a red, black, & green pencil over a green circle, surrounding a black circle, surrounding a red circle. Around the red circle are the black words "Black Writers Group". The word "Weekly" is on the main yellow background and the word "Meeting" is in the black box along the bottom of the flyer.) In the black box next to the red word "Meeting" are the words "Yanique Redwood & Ronnie Galvin", authors, and italicized "We Quit America", book title. Above that is a quote, typed in green, from the book as follows: "Quitting America has been one of the hardest things we have done. And given our proximity to America’s many trappings and how much we’ve been socialized and seduced into its worldview and ethos, we find ourselves in the practice of quitting, with energy and intention, every day." Above the black box are the words in black "Wednesday 5pm" on the yellow background. Next to those words on the red box is a white circle surrounded by by green shadow with a black circle outlined in white on top of it. Inside of the black circle are the words "Message +1.601.329.9449 for additional details." typed in white.

Yes! We left America for Jamaica. #wequitamerica #sankofans

In the category of help me understand…

Y’all want Black folks to fight for (the possibility of) democracy when the folks who were elected to govern (in the so-called democracy) refuse to do so… And half of them are bent on burning it down.

Y’all got us f-d up. #wequitamerica #weoutside #sankofans

Situation 1 week ago. About 8 am in the morning. Doubles (iykyk) and copious amounts of champagne had already been consumed. Joy unspeakably unleashed. #trinidadcarnival #wequitamerica #weoutside #sankofans

Good morning from outside the United States. Grateful to be here. #weoutside #wequitamerica #sankofans

Yanique and Ronnie

We deserve a pardee (party for the uninitiated!).

Mother Fannie Lou Hamer. Her comments here rhyme with chapter 2 (America the Sinking Ship) in our book, “We Quit America: Our Exit From A Country Designed to Kill Black People.” #wequitamerica #sankofans

Bake and ??????

How its about to be tonight, starting 7 pm Trinidad and Tobago Time. #Carnival2025 #wequitamerica #sankofans

47’s saying he’s King aligns Anglo supremacy in King Henry VII’s declaration of the Act of Supremacy (1534)—reinforcing his position as the head of the nation & the Church (of England). Deeming himself & monarchs to follow as “the most supreme beings on earth.” Gods even. #wequitamerica #sankofans

We gave up the belief we could destroy US political & economic structures that create & capitalize on Black misery. We rather rested in the understanding that the US would destroy itself.

Is this the moment? Is this how it happens? Or is what we’re seeing something else? #wequitamerica #sankofans

Follow Alishia on IG @BlackandEmbodied). She is the author of an upcoming book titled: Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within. Learn more about her exit from America in Part IV of our book--Stories from the Diaspora. #wequitamerica #shequitamerica 3/3

(In America), “I was mindful of every movement in a neighborhood filled with Trump flags. The environment itself perpetuates anti-Blackness and violence, so I couldn't be healthy in an environment like that.” #wequitamerica #shequitamerica 2/

She got out…Of America.

How its going:

“Life is even more than what I could imagine. There is so much more healing for my body, so much liberation, such a great feeling of safety. As a Black woman, this is the first time I can just feel like a human being." #wequitamerica #shequitamerica 1/

Dreaming of a Pan-African reality overflowing with Umoja, Ubuntu, Sawubona, the spirit of Pumoja Tutashinde, and the full embrace of Gye Nyame. #wequitamerica #sankofans #manifesting

What is this a sign of?

We’ve quit America and today a rainbow practically lands in our backyard at our home outside the US.

🤔🤔🤔

#wequitamerica #sankofans

What quitting America looks like in these parts (view from my work desk).

Somewhere over the rainbow (The Wiz or Patti version of course)…

For session 2 of our study group on our book WE QUIT AMERICA we discussed manufactured myths & glaring warning signs in an Amerikkkan killing machine designed to kill Black people.

We salute you Randall Robinson. 5/5 #wequitamerica #sankofans

He arrives at this conclusion after a lifetime of effort to get the country to deliver justice long demanded yet long denied to Black people. After years of toil, Robinson quit America. 4/ #wequitamerica #sankofans

His work was instrumental in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.

In his book Quitting America: The Departure of a Black Man from His Native Land he characterizes America as an unrepentant and unredeemable nation that will never do right by Black people. 3/ #wequitamerica #sankofans

Randall Robinson is known for both his advocacy and his writing. In 1977, he founded TransAfrica (originally the TransAfrica Forum) as a center for education and organizing to support the pursuit of justice for the people of Africa and the African Diaspora. 2/ #wequitamerica #sankofans

Get off the sinking ship! #wequitamerica #sankofans
