As you know the FTP Movement has been a consistent force in the fight against oppression and various forms of injustice. Since 2004, we have served over 100,000 meals nationwide to our homeless brothers and sisters through The Feed The People initiative, we have launched numerous police brutality and political prisoner campaigns, set up youth programs, gang intervention summits, political education classes and much more. What many of you may not know is that we do not receive any government or non-profit funding; instead we are fueled by the strength of the people in order to maintain our efforts. Although the labor may be tiring, the love of our people is motivation to move forward. We know that the fight for freedom is not free, and we need you to help us continue. By committing to making a monthly financial contribution of any amount, as little as $1 or whatever you can give, you can aid us in our fight. We are asking all of our comrades, allies, associates and supporters to donate $1 a month to help fund our initiatives and programs. With this small amount of pledge more and more of you will become involved in our efforts and watch and receive our quarterly progress reports as we put these funds to work. Encourage your friends and family to support our movement as well or simply pledge $1 per month for each member of your family. Pledge $12 (or more) for the year-today and as a token of our appreciation we will send you a complimentary gift. Remember, “There ain’t no nation like a donation”. Asante Sana for your continuous support! DONATE HERE: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s xclick&hosted_button_id=FGLBJH5H7N6FW |

A message to all members of FTP MOVEMENT CONTACT: Kalonji Changa defendingthepoor@yahoo.com http://ftpmovement.ning.com/ Grassroots Movement with National Support Hits the Streets of Atlanta ATLANTA, GA – December 1, 2010 – Every second and fourth Sunday of each month, FTP members fellowship while creating lunches and hygiene bags for people who have involuntarily made the streets their home. A bounty of men, women and children crowd around tables of bread, lunchmeats, condiments, and personal products to serve the less fortunate. After the bags are prepared, a caravan of cars travels around Atlanta, stopping under bridges and overpasses, walking through parks, abandoned buildings, and dropping by shelters to serve those who have been underserved for far too long. In Atlanta, the FTP Movement had been laying low as members plotted a world of change. Now stronger, deeper and still putting in work, group members have been hitting the streets with their Feed the People initiative. Lunches are purchased, assembled and distributed by the devoted hands of members and volunteers. The FTP movement was formed in response to the system’s disregard for the poor and oppressive conditions that support poverty. With a focus on uplifting the community, unity, justice, freedom and self-sufficiency, FTP strives to work on behalf of the people in the absence of wealthy donors and tax write-offs. As a true grassroots organization, FTP operates through the hearts of its members, who consistently serve with the passion to work as activists and revolutionaries. In an effort to cover more ground and reach more people in need, the FTP Movement is calling for people in Atlanta to lend a hand and a heart. The organization provides a bit of solace for two days out of each month. However, there’s much more need, and while the movement serves a steady 300-500 meals when they hit the streets, many continue to contemplate where their next meal will come from. The Feed the People initiative is just one program headed by the growing organization. Under the FTP Movement umbrella sits the Siafu Youth Corps, Mama’s Army, FTP Artists Collective, MOBBB (Mothers of Black and Brown Babies) and Behind Enemy Lines (political prisoner program). Events in which the organization coordinates include the Black August Commemoration, Happily Natural Day, Poets 4 Political Prisoners and Crew Love. The organization of the FTP Movement is embodied by their logo, an artistic representation of the Siafu Ant of Eastern Africa. These ants paint the picture of teamwork. The Siafu has no eyes, no venom - only strong jaws. Individually they are small, but as a team they can strip a water buffalo down to the bone in less than an hour. The FTP Movement is much like the Siafu Ant – small in size, but powerful beyond measure. More About the FTP Movement FTP was founded in June of 2001 as a performance group. Their original mission was to use music as a vessel to engage others in the struggle for liberation. In 2004, the group’s founder, Kalonji Changa, moved to Atlanta. It was then that the FTP Movement’s first consistent programs began. The FTP Movement is where theory meets practice— minus the empty rhetoric, mindless activism and fashionable militancy. The organization views the Liberation Struggle as an ongoing process with reachable goals that could be met through consistent dedication. With members spreading across the nation, FTP’s foundation is built on love, respect, loyalty, discipline and principled unity. Their mission is to raise political awareness, and engage and inspire people to take an active role in building the community. FTP represents globally, with active chapters in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Jacksonville, Denver and Newark, NJ. The movement’s list of supporters include members of Public Enemy, Arrested Development, Dead Prez, The Welfare Poets and a bevy of independent artists around the country.
