Poor People's Alliance

Members of the Poor People's Alliance Outside the Constitutional Court, 14 May 2009

The Poor People's Alliance was network of radical grassroots movements in South Africa.[1][2] It was formed in 2008 after the Action Alliance, formed in December 2006, was expanded to include two more organisations.[3] It become defunct following the collapse of two of its affiliated movements, the Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign and the Landless People's Movement.

The following organisations were members of the alliance:

  1. Abahlali baseMjondolo in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.
  2. Abahlali baseMjondolo in the province of the Western Cape.
  3. The Landless People's Movement in the province of Gauteng.
  4. The Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign in the province of the Western Cape.
  5. The Rural Network of KwaZulu-Natal.[4][5]

The Poor People's Alliance refused electoral politics[6] and resolved to boycott the 2009 national elections under the slogan "No Land! No House! No Vote!".[7][8][9]

The Poor People's Alliance supported the struggle of the eMacambini Community against mass eviction by Ruwaad Holdings and KwaZulu-Natal Premier S'bu Ndebele and the African National Congress Provincial Government of KwaZulu-Natal.[10]

The Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign stated that it has been influenced by the Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign and the Poor People's Alliance.[11]
