The Gathering Report:

Featured Member: PIttsburgh's "1HOOD"

Pittsburgh, PA has been on fire as late with National Conventions: The Netroots Nation Convention 2009, The AFL-CIO Conference. The NFL Kick-Off, Community benefits agreement fights, Michael Moore's Film Debut, ex-President Bill Clinton and President Obama's speeches and the G20 Summit that turned Pittsburgh into a occupied, Police State and "The Woman's Walk For Peace 2009".

The Gathering For Justice Pittsburgh LOC members of "1HOOD" have been right in the middle of the madness, participating, organizing and keeping our community informed.

Jasiri X has been moving and shaking up things with his online series of songs and videos "This Week with Jasiri X". http://www.youtube.com/user/jasirix
His latest video "What's Peace?" explores the meaning of peace and the audacity of giving out a Peace Prize in a world so violent.


Music, videos and blogs/social networking are tools that 1HOOD uses to empower young people and teach them "Media Literacy". It's also a great way to combat the negative images portrayed of people of color by the mainstream media and pop-culture.

Let us be careful how we talk about about the soldiers. They are trained to defend our country and the Idea of freedom. That is not anything that I disagree with. I disagree with the military focus on violent methods to achieve those means. Let us...

How can we possibly be surprised that people trained to kill would turn on each other? It's ludicrous to think that violence can ever solve anything. I mourn the loss of these people, I mourn the sorrow in the shooter, all people who are taken out...

About

The Gathering’s Mission

The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.

Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
