Level 1 Kingian Nonviolence 2 week training- Rhode Island at Kingston, Rhode Island
July 6, 2009 to July 17, 2009
Dear Friends of Peace and Nonviolence,
We ask your assistance in posting this information about our Center's
upcoming 2009 Nonviolence Summer Institute to your web site and
listserv/mailing list. We would be more than pleased to have each of you...
Another sad story of how broken our Judicial System has become. We are the people and the people shall not be moved the time is now and the urgency is upon us to stand strong in the face of tierny, lies, and propraganda and dispell the rhetoric. W...
I read this also! It is sadly not surprising. The rationale and mind set of some people is beyond comprehension. Trading a life for money is what it boils down to. They were caught--how many are not caught?
It makes me wonder how many other places this is going on.
It saddens me that the young people that were impacted by the sentencing may spend years trying to get their lives back on track and that some of them never will. It angers me that the individuals that we as a people elected/appointed and trusted ...
It is high time to speak out against this travesty this s a fight to the death!!!! GENOCIDE is the key word here, let's stop playing games and protect our rights and kids rights.
So bad to hear and to think it has been going on for such a long time. The young people needs alot of councellings to ease the bitterness they may be having. God have mercy!
Why doesn't this surprise me? Its sad but its been my reality since I was born, that is why I wake up every morning giving my all to the beautiful struggle..
Amazing what individuals in power get away with. Things always come full circle, now they must pay the price for their greed. They showed total disregard for human beings. Sad.

The Change We Seek
In the days, weeks and months leading up to the election, I saw something that I have never witnessed before. I saw it on the streets of Oakland, at conferences in Memphis, and in storefronts in New York. People were creating their own Obama T-Shirts, buttons, and stickers and proudly selling and wearing them. The excitement and momentum around Obama’s campaign had created its own cottage industry, and I could not remember one person ever wearing a John Kerry T-Shirt.

- 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.

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.
