In and near Pittsburgh PA, we have had several shootings that involved youth under 12 years of age. The first shooting involved a set of twins whose father allegedly asked his two sons to clean his gun. The boys were raised around guns and accordi...
Excerpt from Article in Black Star News
"Despite our progress as a nation and as individuals, we are still struggling to shed the deeply ingrained racism, inequality and injustice that results when paternalism and white supremacy is the law of the land. This year’s election is an opportunity for American citizens to demonstrate to the world that the U.S. is prepared to enter a new era."

Juvenile Injustice
I'm never surprised when I open the local newspaper and find evidence of blatant injustice. I'm referring to two separate cases on the East Coast that involve minors. One teen is a white boy from Ohio who maliciously burned down the home of a black family, killing six family members, because one member of the household stole his cell phone. The second teen is a black boy from Pittsburgh who, according to his testimony, accidentally shot and killed his aunt, a city court employee, while supposedl… Continue

Juveniles, Guns & the Law
In and near Pittsburgh PA, we have had several shootings that involved youth under 12 years of age. The first shooting involved a set of twins whose father allegedly asked his two sons to clean his gun. The boys were raised around guns and according to the father, understood the danger of mishandling guns. Tragically, the father left the boys alone with the gun and one twin went to the garage and gathered bullets from an unlocked box and placed the bullets in the gun. He then pointed the gun at… Continue

- When will THEY realize?
By: Curly X
My friend, mentor, leader and Brother,
They called you Rebel, but those are all lies.
I know your Nobel, but they say you took a breather,
I know your no actor, your past mentality dies.
The tears that runs down your cheek,
Brother, it will never make you weak.
THEY have given you a sneak peak,
25 years to life, is nothing meek.
They can cage your body, but never you’re Spirit,
Fight long, Alex to regain your innocence.
Never be PERPLEX, just know you’re a puppet,
They can’t cage your mind, you have the brilliance.
The tears pouring from the eyes of your family,
Brother, know they are not done faintly.
They have given your something, freely,
You have to fight with your heart clean, fully.
All I know of you is good and always braver,
Your gang days, long gone, the new Alex has arise.
You probably think everything around you is bleaker,
But sooner or later, you’re going to have tears, happy cries.
The tears from upon my face,
This system is sick, and full of disgrace.
Your name they constantly deface,
So all your hard work you've have done, they can't erase.
This poem is food for your soul,
Something to fill the lonely nights and console.
You will never be the man in that wall hole,
When will THEY know that you play a positive role?
When will THEY realize we don’t belong in these hellholes?
When will THEY realize we don’t sleep on bedrolls?
When will THEY realize that peace is our ultimate goal?
When will THEY realize that were in control?
When will THEY realize that you’re not on the payroll?
When will THEY realize that you have been steamrolled?
When will THEY realize that YOU and ME are people?
When will THEY realize?
That these prisons and lies are destroying or cultural lives.
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.
