"I'M Starting A New Movement In Black America" The Grass Roots Community Movement - unlike the Civil Right's Movement that challenge institutionalize racism in America. Our focus is on challenges that face the Black Community today. Gangs and Gun Violence, Unemplyment, Housing issues, Poverty, Crime, Drugs, within the Community. We will still use the same principles which was successful in the Civil Right's Movement that is using a non-violent approach. All ethnic groups are welcome to join this movement but we will be using an Afrocentric approach to deal with these problems. My Goal is to encourage those who live inside the community to network with me from around the country. The primary goal is to organize and unite the Black Community nationwide and break the shackles of proverty in our inner city ghettos across the nation. My hope is that this movement can become a national movement that will provide a unifying network that all existing black organizations can use. I hope that I can network with people who are serious about the improvement of impoverish neighborhoods by creating an all black organization with the desire to improve the community based on my own personal philosophy. We will address the self- destructive behaviors that generally manifest itself in our communities. We will work with communities that lack resources. This movement is based on reducing violence in all forms and provide a anti- violence plan. Gang prevention, job training programs, apprenticeship programs, and after-school activities. Once I meet with all the black leaders in the community and black businesses in Chicago I will then start a Nonprofit organization starting in Chicago and eventually across the country that will hire all those within the community that is under my leadership. • Raise millions annually through a $3 per month parcel tax dedicated solely to gang prevention and after-school programs. Funding will be used to provide vocational, job training and apprenticeship programs. • Expand and improve after-school programs including tutoring/mentoring in reading, math, science, art and music instruction. • Coordinate youth neighborhood cleanup programs, and graffiti removal. • Mandate an a Citzen's Oversight Committee, ensuring accountablility and effectivness. In addition, our mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in America. Drawing my strength from my faith my experience with diversity, and being resourceful. This movement will promote innovative solutions and advocate for community responsibility. We facilitate lasting change by: Strengthening our capacity for self-help Providing economic opportunity within our community. Influencing policy decisions at all levels of government. Addressing discrimination in all its shapes, and forms. We pursue our mission with both excellence and compassion because the people whom we serve deserve nothing less. More over, I want ordinary people from within and outside the community and others committed to educating our youth about the alternatives to violence, durgs, and especially gun violence. Our mission is not to violate the second amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, but to remove the guns from the hands of our youth, and criminals. We must continue to advocate, and demand that our local,state, and government officials that we have a serious gun violence epidemic in our communities. These problems leads to both physical and emotional addictions such as drug addiction & alcohol abuse, suicidal lifestyles. This Movement will function as a facilitator. In time I would like to partner with out reach ministries, advocacy groups within the community. I have created an expansion of this group on two websites Yahoo & Google, where people can network with other individuals, and organizations that are able to provide assistance and resources. Turning my visions into reality by doing something and giving back to my community & my people. I ask The Lord what can I do to help improve my community and uplift our people nationwide read my up coming book to find the answer. Today in the Black low income communities across this country is suffering. They suffer or have suffered from all types of abuse. Overcoming these objections in life can be very difficult for anyone who have yet to learn how to break the chains of poverty. This Grass Roots Community Movement is here to be the bridge to women and men by letting them know that they are not alone. I want to teach Black Women and Black Men to acknowledge themselves as powerful beings. To teach our Brothers and Sisters to loved, honored and respect themselves. Acknowledge that what they did yesterday doesn't have to be what they are today. This is what GOD has given me to do and everything he brought us through is for a purpose. On my Web Journal you will find Legal Referrals, Careers, Food and Clothing Assistance, Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation, Education and Skills Training, Housing and Shelter Referrals. Spiritual Counseling and Mentoring. Again This is geared toward the Black Community. My purpose and intent is to uplift our People and improve our inner city low income - high crime communities and hire all that want to work for my organization. I would encourage more Black business owners to open /keep their businesses in the hood. In addition, we must hold our elected officials your mayor, your governor, and your state representatives accountable for not improving the conditions in our communities too. All we have to do is circulate a petition and have people to sign it around your community and then send a copy to your elected officials about what your community is lacking and if your petition is ignored just vote those persons out of office. But we need people to be involved, to be a registered voter. We have an opportunity to improve the lives of others in this country as long as we use this technology effectively. It's up to you if you want to be apart of this great vision that the Lord has given me to share with the Black Community. I don't want to hide behind a computer in time I want to be out in the field and start this organization after I complete the book. I want to meet everyone who have join this movement. If you are really serious about joining this movement then the first thing you need to do is buy my book and then register to join the Web Group. God has allowed me to share my Web Journal which has plenty of resources and referrals for those of you who don't have those support systems in your area. God bless you all who are privilege with having access to the Internet; who have also allowed me into your life. In order to join my online group you must share the same values & beliefs that is we are each others keeper. Everyone will be screen to avoid trouble makers who want anything more then to see us divided and fighting among each other.
