“In the name of Trayvon Martin, in the name of Rosa Parks, in the name of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, in the name of Earl Faison, in the name of 26 million people out of work, in the name of more pushed into poverty everyday onto a shrinking safety net, in the name of all of all the foreclosure victims and police brutality victims who constantly come to us for justice, it is time grow our membership to increase our influence and power to help the people get the justice they deserve,” said a passionate Larry Hamm, the organization’s founding chairman.
The organization is pursuing a membership goal of 1000 new members by August 2014. The first meeting to address the new membership campaign took place in October.
