The Venceremos Brigade

Who we are and what we do

In 1969, a coalition of young people formed the Venceremos (We Shall Overcome) Brigade, as a means of showing solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers and challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the economic blockade and our government’s ban on travel to the island. The first Brigades participated in sugar harvests and subsequent Brigades have done agricultural and construction work in many parts of

Do We Have A Compassionate President?

by C. Earl Campbell DA 3rd ~

  President Obama has pardon more Thanksgiving Turkeys than Political Prisons, who were victims of the US Government's Counter Intelligence Programs (CoIntelPro), started under FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.  Even Russian President Putin had the courage to correct one of his mistakes this week by releasing a political prisoner.  Black African Americans were overwhelmingly the targets and victims of the US Government attacks under that program and President Obama should

IMG_7999.jpg Christmas is a great time to introduce energy saving habits into a household as many easy and simple changes in the way we live can end up putting extra money into your pocket. Higher electricity prices in South Africa have become an increasing strain on consumers’ monthly expenses.

“As consumers we have a lot of decision making power when it comes to how we use and save energy,” says Russell Hughes, who is the event director of the annual African Utility Week and Clean Power Africa conference

These are the people who lack honor, respect for themselves, and decency.  Descendants of Slaves can stay among Rulers who think nothing of us and our children, or we can return to the GOD that can bring us out of this captivity and live in HIS Righteous Ways for our Redemption.

Can the mentality of such people really bring joy to the Most High CREATOR GOD?  Or would the R

Last week, Joyce Jones, a columnist for BET.com wrote an article titled, “The Loneliness of the Black Republican: What attracts young African-Americans to the GOP?”  Although the article was off-base on so many points – No I won’t waste my time listing them here – it got me reflecting on this younger generation of Black Republicans.

Undoubtedly, young Blacks are attracted to the GOP brand more than older Blacks. If Jones could have tapped into that phenomenon, it could have been an enlightening a

Talking Points:

Robert Seth Hayes is currently 65 years old. We are requesting an appropriate medical work-up in an outside facility for abnormal weight loss, because Mr. Hayes has lost 40 pounds in the last 3 months and currently weighs only 140 pounds max. 40 lbs of weight loss in a few months is very concerning for cancer and cancer needs to be ruled out. This is most urgently needed for Seth's health right now. This weight loss is acute and clearly urgent.

Dear Crystal Lucas Perry,

First, as 1 artist to another, I appreciate you &all the hard work that went into creating this. HOWEVER, what I strongly disagree with, is making the POTUS into a celebrity.Creating this mythos around a man whose job is to lead the country FORWARD. He's not a HOLLYWOOD STAR/ACTOR. I think it's disrespectful.Will he go down in history as a SUPERSTAR or someone who really moved the country forward? Allegiance to a man? American Idol? Exalt & Elevate integrity, peace, love

Change Your Clocks!!!

People fuss and complain and make long videos warning us about the so-called New World Order. I say, it ain't new!! Anytime a group of people can change the time on the clock and effect the entire world's bio-rhythm, now that's some power. I know that everyone in the "whole world" ain't changing their clocks, but if they don't change, and they have to interact with those who do, they still have to make an adjustment on some level. Now, that's power.

Black African American's Dilemma???

3828561430?profile=originalWhy do Black African Americans lack the Moral Courage to collectively solve our problems without Greed or Fear?  Why do we accept excuses or make excuses for poor leadership from Black Appointed and Elected Leaders?  Despite having professional skills, knowledge and experience in almost every area of American Society, Black African Americans, collectively have Little Hope, No Change and our progress is Going Backwards. Our Collective Suffering and Poverty seems to be invisible to our leadership,

Olusegun Obasanjo to current President Goodluck Jonathan, regarding Obasanjo’s latest indignation at Jonathan’s style of governance, albeit a self-serving vitriolic hocus-pocus of indignation.  But some Nigerians are taking Obasanjo’s letter seriously.  But for most Nigerians, nothing Obasanjo says or writes are ever going to change their minds about this tyrannical, corrupt, duplicitous, arrogant, vindictive chame

Says a record should be a stepping stone, not an excuse
~ By Chinta Strausberg~ Flanked by scores of unemployed youth each holding a copy of their resume, Father Michael L. Pfleger Monday held a press conference at the Saint Sabina Church calling on businesses to give young men and women a chance by hiring them and not use a record as an excuse to exclude them; rather let it be a stepping stone for their future.

Is it just me? How is it that having a European looking man, with blonde hair and blue eyes, from the middle east elevated to the status of God, is NOT promoting white supremacy?

For the next 30 days folks will be peppering their house, lawns, schools and churches and every where else with the image of a "white" child in a manger purported to be GOD incarnate. A so-called Christmas celebration that really is a cloak for white supremacy.

Think about it, from now on it will be quite alright for Jesu

3828561227?profile=originalIt’s time to stop the war on the poor in Chicago.  We hear the talk all over the inner city.  Poor people want to leave the city because they feel it is unsafe and un-affordable.  It does not take sophisticated analysis to see the linkages between the poverty rate and violence in certain neighborhoods.  Between 2000 and 2010, Chicago lost 200,000 residents.  One-hundred eighty thousand of those were African American. 

Over that decade, we witnessed the dismantling of the histrionic public housing
