In order for Baltimore to rebuild, Pastor GJ Barnes, of The Elevation Chapel AME Church launched #ElevateBaltimore, a movement which seeks to refocus people around investing in things that uplift the community, versus just protesting about the injustices that plague the community.

The late Jamaican reggae singer Peter Tosh was right on target in his song “Equal Rights” when he sang:

“Everybody is talking about crime
Crime, crime, crime, crime
But tell me
Who are the criminals?
I don’t want no peace
I want equal rights and justice”

I am black. I have many white friends. I consider them good friends. They are not racist. I am outraged at the wanton killing of unarmed black men all over America. Based on direct and indirect conversations, I would have to say, sadly, that not a

  Environmental racism is a subgroup of environmental justice, or "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies" ("What Is Environmental Justice?"). It calls for a complete lack of discrimination in environmental law as opposed to an enforced equality. In rel

Baltimore Peace Plan

Baltimore is simmering because of the brutal murder of Freddie Gray by the police. Already there has been two days of looting and rioting despite the peaceful protests of thousands. Protests are continuing and Saturday is expected to be the largest with protestors expected from all over America. Despite calls for peace from the family of Freddie Gray, local

THE GAPP-UK POSITION STATEMENT ON ELECTORAL POLITICS

IN BRITAIN

 1^st MAY 2015

The Global Afrikan People’s Parliament (GAPP) is a newly emerged independent, participatory, self-empowering and representative body whose strategic goal is to promote, preserve and protect the best interests of the Afrikan Heritage Community for National Self-Determination (AHC-NSD), particularly those domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK). By ‘Afrikan’ we mean people known as ‘Africans’ or ‘Black People’ of ‘African orig

Black Midwives and Healers Attendees 2013 ~

   It is fitting that the 9th International Black Midwives and Healers Conference (IBMHC) 2015 will be commemorated in Portland, Oregon, because Portland is also the headquarters of the International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC) and the original site of the first IBMHC in 2002.

The ICTC is seeking presenters for the 9th International Black Midwives and Healers Conference (IBMHC), “Honoring Our Past, Embracing Our Future.” The conference

 “Ferguson, Missouri helped bring attention to the extent of ‘offender-funded’ criminal justice services. The city was relying on fees, fines, and court costs for 20 percent of its budget, effectively turning it into an occupied territory, with a 95 percent white police force supporting itself by forcibly preying on a nearly 70 percent black population. Who benefits from this ‘criminalization of poverty’? In the

By Orrin Hudson, former police officer-turned-community activist.

  I've said it before, and I'll say it again: In a situation with the police, it’s not immediately about who is right or wrong, it’s about staying alive. If the police are making a wrongful arrest, this can be corrected later at a safer time.

Too many unarmed African American men are losing their lives to white police officers, and most of the time justice is not being served. But even if justice is served, a valuable life has al

 “As the media continue to consolidate and corporate ownership amasses greater power, money, and influence and control over the public and government officials, in effect creating a plutocracy, the public interest is increasingly marginalized and negatively impacted. A very real threat of corporate media globalization and transnationalization is global dominance by elites over the public by way of a propagandist medi

[By Stuart Slavin, MD, MEd ] Those in our lives whom we consider to be most objective, who in many ways are paid to be objective, have repeatedly been shown to be anything but objective.  Rather, they make decisions that are consistently influenced by unconscious (implicit) bias.  White NBA referees call more fouls against black players than against white; MLB umpires are more likely to erroneously call a ball a strike if an all-star pitcher is on the mound; Israeli judges are more likely to gr

African Man Can’t be called a Foreign National In the soil of Africa

We call up on Africa Union not to use member states polarizing words calling Africa Nationals a Foreign Nationals in his own continent Africa. Africa unification is only realized by reclaiming our right and by practicing the right policy implementation to the way forward to meet the agenda 2063. We all share the same consanguinity and history. We shouldn’t be victim of wrong connotation based on artificial boards that is lined

West Papua must be given full membership at the Melanesian Spearhead Group, says the Pacific Freedom Forum.

"The people of West Papua have long been denied basic human rights by their own government," says PFF Chair Titi Gabi.

"They are therefore justified in seeking support and assistance for those rights from outside their own borders."

The Melanesian Spearhead Group will decide on an application for full membership from West Papua groups in June.

Africans,

If we are to win Black Power in MertoEast in Saint Louis, Missouri, we must deal with the issue of crime there. I have decided to go for it. I need your feedback and input. I think this is the right approach is for no other reason that it is unavoidable. Every time I deal with Brooklyn or Washington Park, I am confronted with corruption and prostitution. I have concluded that prostitution is at the root of nearly all of our social problems in the African community, out of wedlock childb

Out of these troubles, tragedies, and great affliction.

Recently a plane went down killing 150 people. The real tragedy is that the co-pilot had decided to take his life and his passengers with him. He crashed his plane into a mountain killing himself and all aboard. These people didn’t have to die. Had just one of these passengers been a believer in the CREATOR G
