Tunnel Builder Institute: Organizing Training at Urban Spirit Coffee Shop
October 16, 2009 at 6pm to October 18, 2009 at 1pm
The Tunnel Builder Institute (TBI) is The League of Young Voters Education Fund’s official training and leadership development program. The TBI curriculum is based on a series of simulated and interactive "organizing games" that are specifically t...
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.
The Gathering for Justice has a great wealth of training manuals and resources available to them. Please review the listings and contact us if you'd like more information.
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 meat the demand for training.
Ama Vera's Garden
As one of our nonviolent direct actions, we decided to commandeer an empty lot and turn it into a community garden which we dedicate to a young woman who lost her life needlessly to violence. Weekly a group of us come together to work the garden. It has been a true blessing. The neighborhood gets to see beauty and creation right in their midst.

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.

we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they chopped off our hands.
“DON’T SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE, NOTHING READ”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT RED”
we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they plopped cuffs on hands.
“DON’T CROSS THIS BORDER INTO TOWN”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT BROWN”
we fought this war for our own land,
we fight it still with our own hands.
“DON’T SPEAK UP SPIC, DON’T PICK A FIGHT”
“I JUST WISH YOU WERE ALL SNOW-WHITE’
We fight this war for our own land,
I can’t be white and join your Klan.
“YOU WILL LOSE, THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED”
“THIS DAY WILL YOU PEOPLE DREAD”
We fight this war for our own land,
Eventually, you will see we all bleed red.
This is the road that I will choose,
And in this fight YOU will lose.
“NO, YOU CAN’T”
“SI, SE PUEDE, AND YES WE CAN”

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.

I really love your garden and the planters used. Really wish your photos were right-side up so that I could enjoy even more. Next summer, I wish to grow tomatoes. Any advice?
