  • WHAT'S RIGHT WITH YOUTH: Youth "Bail Out" Plan

  • Dec 21, 2008 all day
  • Location: http://www.streetpositive.com
  • Description: Think for a moment and and ask yourself, "if I had to take the deal I'm giving my child, would I take it." America is handing its youth a bad deal. And, some parents, if not careful, will join the ranks in doing the same. More debt, less love and the beat goes on. StreetPositive is on a mission to connect business, community and education for the positive in supporting our youth. Simply put, if we don't invest in the positive, we will pay for the negative. To help make a difference, StreetPositive is back to dealing business on the streets to help our nation's youth get ahead of the danger curve. And, we need your support to make it happen! So, check out our campaigns and "get in where you fit in." Get Street Style Positive™. And, "lets get this youth thing headed to the positive!" Spend time with your child. Or, Someone else will.

He remained a warrior in his struggle for justice and freedom, and a leader in his Muslim community. His spirit was never jailed.
