Wow. Once again, greed looses, but sadly to late for the young men and women caught in the miss-management and moral decay of the justice system. How did the judges get caught I wonder? Glad they did. I hope that someone will go over all the cases i…
Watch the video and sign the letter to the state Supreme Court. Separate but equal doesn't work either.

- The Our-story of our fight
By: Curly X
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”

- 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.

bruni sablan said… - Dear Gina,
Thank you for your interest. You can see almost all of my work at: www.brunijazzart.com
I have done many bodies of work, so it may take you some time going through the whole site. I also own a Gallery in Campbell, CA, which is in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The name of my Gallery is BRUNI Gallery. The address is 394 East Campbell Ave, Campbell, CA 95008. Phone is (408)370-4700.
If you ever come this way, let me know and I will personally be there to give you "A Red Carpet" treatment.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask permission to paint Mr. Belafonte, and add him to "The Jazz Masters Series by BRUNI" collection. I have attempted to get permission from other sources in the past, but did not receive any response. In being sensitive to his privacy, I have not painted him yet.
Thank you once again for what you are doing, and for your interest.
May we add "The Gathering" as alink on our site?
Warm regards,
BRUNI

Just back from D.C.
Just back from the inauguration. And let me say it was amazing. Everyone asks me where was I and did I have tkts. I didn't have tkts and I was in the middle of all the wonder. Some might say madness, but there wasn't any madness around me. Quite the contrary, I've never seen so many smiles in my life. As I stood on the great mall in D.C. on January 20th 2009, surrounded by half a million others, I noticed there was the most wonderful sense of oneness I have ever felt in such a large crowd.

Get creative with revenge
After an earned rest during the holidays, I went on line to check my mail and had many messages from Gathering brothers and sisters about the shootings and violence happening constantly. I sat back in my chair and wept. I sometimes feel I cry for those who can't. Feeling as if the break and rest had been snatched from me, depleted of energy and helpless, I went on our web site to see what was happening. I am so proud of The Gathering For Justice. Of all the members looking for solutions and doin… Continue

2 day core
So Check it,
Just did the Nonviolent 2 day core training. Facilitated by our fabulous team Jonathan Lewis and Carmen Perez. It was an amazing two days. 16 hours of breaking it down, unpacking the steps of Kingian Nonviolence. First let me say, Jonathan is a master. He and Carmen created a safe and sacred space for our very diverse group. An environment where we could choose to hear and really listen. The brothers and sisters assembled all had wisdom to share. We ranged in age from about 11 to o… Continue

A Brother Down
I must pay tribute to Brother Bo Taylor. Bo was a giant among peace keepers, peaces creators and peace finders. When I first met Bo, about 8 years ago, he invited me to a celebrity softball game he was pioneering in his community just about 6 miles from where I lived. I was honored to be included and of course I couldn't refuse Bo's charm. When my almost 4 year old daughter, Maria and I showed up to the field, it quickly dawned on me that the celebrities Bo must have invited were no shows, only… Continue

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.
