if anyone is interested in accessing money coming out of the stimulus package we will be posting information as well as models of proposals submitted and best practices.
Aloha Carmen and Thank You for keeping the heat on the police. The police know that people like You are standing up for victims of their brutality. No longer will their crimes go unreported and swept under the rug. We need a Carmen in every state....
This is a Great idea that may grow and grow....
As a young person I learned that 1% of the Earths' people own 99% of its' wealth. I paid it no mind and went on with my life. Now retired in Hawaii in between tennis, golf, hiking, swimming etc. I revisited that notion. 1% of the people own 99% of...
If you have the power to do something about something..... You have the responsibility to do something about something. Parapharasing Thomas Jefferson who along with his friends George Washington and Benjamin Franklin invented this country. Incidently, they had time to write the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution all the while smoking Hemp. Yes readers, our Founding Fathers smoked pot and created an American Democracy. I'm not advocating its' use, just lets finally get it decriminalized so those who want it or need it medically can get it legally.

As a young person I learned that 1% of the Earths' people own 99% of its' wealth. I paid it no mind and went on with my life. Now retired in Hawaii in between tennis, golf, hiking, swimming etc. I revisited that notion. 1% of the people own 99% of the wealth, what does that really mean? Online I found that there is a family that is worth 500 Trillion Dollars. The Rothschild family is one of the wealthiest families on the planet. Of course there are others, Americans.

Involve the People
When "We the People" speak and don't take no for an answer, things change. Why? Because, "We the People" is a force to be respected and in some cases feared. Whether the call is "No taxation - without representation, or the French eating cake with Marie, "We the people" of any country or community is the key to peace. Ghandi said it accurately, 200,000 foriegners (The British in that case), cannot control a country of 500 million, if those people don't want them to. Any military would hate to fi… Continue

The United Nations Must put an end to violence, that should be their only mission
As a former stockbroker and business onwer I look for Return On Investment. How much money has The United Nations swallowed since its' inception? The return is supposed to be peace on earth. Are we really getting our money's worth, well you answer that one. And while you're at it, ask do we need a basic all countries adopt a definition of Leadership and Human Rights? Yes, in order to remain a member in good standing the member MUST agree to certain basic rights of all people. And when the curren… Continue

Who benefits from religion
Inquiring minds want to know, who really benefits from religion. We all know that having a relationship with God is a personal matter. Even what we call God and how we view God is purely for our benefit. The Catholic church is worth over a trillion dollars and still passes the plate worldwide every Sunday making more tax free money. Other churches and religions are also very wealthy. So who benefits from religion? Some religious leaders are treated like they are gods, when in reality they are ju… Continue

Kevin Sanchez said… - Rhyme with No Reason?
By: Curly X
This poem is dedicated to Oscar Grant and the other Oscar Grant’s
Bullets piercing the bodies of my people,
I thought the constitution said we are all equal.
Puppets in this world voicing our sad stories,
Eyeballs filled with sanction killings by police sissies.
When will the shooting stop from the hired guns,
Good men die while marksmen freely run.
Mothers hanging on to the last breath of there child,
Minutes go by and she grows more, wild.
Murders are banging Her heart to death,
Riots seem old, it outgrows the poor, and defiles.
Bigots were crushed by the hands of peaceful men,
Cries didn’t come from guns, but from there mouth and pen.
Lead an army of soldiers with guns and rocks, and we will be crushed,
Because violence begets violence, when we are rushed.
Heal our broken hearts with sage and gospel song,
The real ordeal is to fix the pain of wrong.
Forgive and forget, seems to far fetch,
But I promise, you,
Brother Killing Brother, Sister Killing Sister,
Others shooting others to enact revenge,
Its like rhyme with no reason, it doesn’t end.
I want to thank Paradise, for being my inspiration. I hope that our words reach Oakland, and we can be there for them, and heal, organize, and do things the right way. Because you and I know, riots are what the oppressor wants. It gives them a reason to oppress. Destroy the violence, and they have no tools against us.
Peace and Love

bruni sablan said… - Thank you Bill. I hope to leave bodies of work, for future generations to see, learn from, and understand what we have had to deal with. I started with Africa as a teenager, went on to do biographical paintings of all (almost) jazz greats (portraits) www.brunijazzart.com , then on to Mother Teresa, and back to Africa. If you have time to check my website, you will see what I am trying to leave behind... Hawaii is beautiful, I lived in Guam for 3 years, and had my daughter there. Peace, BRUNI

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.
