The National Committee to Defend New Afrikan Freedom Fighters was formed with the purpose to educate, organize and mobilize the Black Nation and its allies in an international campaign against the violations of New Afrikan (Black) Peoples Human Rights. The organization, like other New Afrikan formations, developed their own principles of unity that were centered around the right of New Afrikan peoples to defend themselves from US domestic colonialism and to ensure their formation explicitly supported the militant formations within the New Afrikan Independence Movement like the Black Liberation Army (BLA) and Revolutionary Armed Task Force.
