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.

It is time for collective action. If we continue to claim territory verses acknowledging our responsibility we will remain in a state of mental poverty. Lets come together so that we may meet the demand for training.

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.
