We refuse to give hatred a chance to govern, a chance to roll back civil and human rights, a chance to deport millions of people, a chance to create camps and registries for Muslims, a chance to expand the prison industrial complex, a chance to expand its drone wars, or a chance to turn back the gains won by our struggles.</p><p>We pledge resistance to this renewed attack on our communities. As we resist, we will create new governing institutions, new economic relationships, and new ways of being human. What we will not do is sanction and/or normalize “overt” white supremacy.</p><p>Let’s start now. Let’s make the so-called inauguration day a day to resist a day to be ungovernable and plan for a new future and new way.</p><p>On January 20, self-organize a day of action. If possible don’t ask for permits assert your right to free speech and assembly, let it be a day of mass demonstrations, civil disobedience, and direct action and strikes.</p><p>In the evening of January 20 at 6pm join us for a nationwide town-hall on what comes next in these times.</p><p>For more info: <a href="http://stfi.re/pyvdwgb">http://stfi.re/pyvdwgb</a></p><p>~</p><p>~</p></div>You're invited to the "Circle of Life" - Calling Upon Our Ancestors, Nov. 27, Philadelphiahttps://www.theblacklist.net/photo/you-re-invited-to-the-circle-of-life-calling-upon-our-ancestors-n2016-11-26T00:51:47.000Z2016-11-26T00:51:47.000ZSendMeYourNewshttps://www.theblacklist.net/members/SendMeYourNews<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3828782727?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>You're invited to the "Circle of Life" - Calling Upon Our Ancestors, Nov. 27, Philadelphia</p></div>Black Friday Give Away - SimpleBeautyNaturals - Your Natural Skincare and Cosmetic Systemhttps://www.theblacklist.net/photo/black-friday-give-away-simplebeautynaturals-your-natural-skincare2016-11-24T19:45:20.000Z2016-11-24T19:45:20.000ZSendMeYourNewshttps://www.theblacklist.net/members/SendMeYourNews<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3828782823?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Forget Black Friday sales!</p><p>It's still our 6 year anniversary AND Black Friday is tomorrow.</p><p>So we're giving you goodies all weekend long, starting TODAY at 5pm CST!!!</p><p>Stay tuned and tell your friends to join this email list.

This Process and</p><p>System is currently being constructed and perfected as a prototype. The master plan calls for the</p><p>duplication of this Process and System in cities and towns throughout the U.S. and beyond.</p><p>The application of the Functional Unity Process answers</p><p>the question, "What does it take to build the</p><p>Empowered African (Black) Community?"</p><p>The details of the Functional Unity Process are outlined in an</p><p>organized presentation called the "Blueprint for Functional Unity". Interested persons</p><p>can review this presentation live at the African Community Center(s) or online.</p><p>Please note: The online presentation uses both audio and visuals.</p><p>Sound speakers are required.</p><p>Click here to get started with the online presentation. Our</p><p>hope is that you will think enough of the Functional Unity Process to</p><p>become an endorser and supporter. - Please don't hesitate to contact</p><p>us with any question or concern: 404-344-5454</p><p>~</p><p>10th Annual Unity Council Appreciation Banquet & Mama Njere Functional Unity Lifetime Achievement Awards</p><p>Order Tickets Online</p><p>Now! -</p><p><a href="http://www.unity4power.org/banquet2016.html">http://www.unity4power.org/banquet2016.html</a></p><p>(Limited Seating)</p><p>Banquet w/ full meal & Entertainment</p><p>Choice of Chicken, Fish & Vegan</p><p>Hosted annually by:</p><p>The African Community Centers for Unity and Self-Determination, Inc.</p><p>P.
