the black power movement

[rob ray]

Join the Black Power Movement,On December 13-14th in New York City the new Black Power Movement was born. When the question was asked at the Great Debate, " Was Barack Obama's Election Good for African People?" we had an answer. The answer is YES, the momentum and positive feelings that Obama is creating amongst Black People worldwide is good because we are poised to seize the time and organize and fight for the critical and strategic interests of Black peoples like never before. Thus a new Black Power Movement was born.The Black Power Movement is the fastest growing, broad based alliance of Black Peoples who are committed to the principles of self determination. If you believe in power for Black People- that we should control our own destiny- the Black Power Movement is for you.We are calling on new leaders, teachers, activists, elders, students, businesspeople, spiritual people, revolutionaries, organizers. bloggers, rappers, laborers and every Black Person of every stripe that want to be part of an organized, active movement for complete constructive change for our people.If you are a member of an existing organization- please remain there, but you are welcome into the BLACK POWER MOVEMENTIf you were a member of the Million Man March, Million Youth March, Million Woman's March, Millions More Movement local organizing committee- WELCOME this is the place for youIn the coming weeks you will be updated on our efforts to recruit 10,000 strong into our movement. This is not for a march- we are organizing all the talent that we have come into contact with over the years and delivering 20 permanent National / International and local Ministries that are designed to elevate the condition of African peoples worldwide.We are inviting you into over 300 local organizng committees we setting up all over the cities and towns of America and the international Black Diaspora.Please be patient with us, because a nation and movement are not built in a day. Revolution is a process. What we are doing is not wishful thinking. As the leader of the New Black Panther Party and Black Lawyers for Justice, political candidate, former Million Man March organizer, Million Youth March Youth Director, Millions More Movement National Co-Convener, I have the necessary training, education, experince, contacts and respect amongst the people and leadership to help make this a reality.What I need is your help. I am not asking you to come and follow me, for I am merely an administrative vehicle, strategic organizer and workhorse for the people. I am asking you to come to a movement that can benefit you in what your already doing and properly connect you to like minded people in struggle.Come join a movement that makes common sense and will rely less on rhetoricand more on policy and action. Come join a Black or Afrikan United Front or a OAAU-Organization of All African Unity. This is where the new leaders will be given light, this is where grassroots activism will be given the respect and attention it deserves, this is where we, together will make sense of the complex and multi faceted forces and personalities that make up the life and struggle of Black or African peoples.Look forward in joining you in organizing for the total liberation of our people. The first National Conference on the new Black Power (East Region) will take place in New Hork City from March 6th -8th 2009. The second Black Power National Conference (southeast region) will take place May 22-may 24th in Atlanta Georgia. these conferences will be short on talk and long on action. Please stay posted to our website at www.blackpowermovement.org, email us, and support us in any way we ask.Above all, please help us secure 10,000 pledge cards so that we may committ 10,000 card carrying members to the Black Power movement and from there history will be made.Thank you for reading these words.Black PowerDr. Malik Zulu Shabazz
