| Hotep Reparations Family, As we continue our Renewed Push to Enact HR 40, we call on your continued assistance. HR 40 ¬ “ The Commission to Study Reparation Proposals For African Americans Act is originating out of the House of Representatives, authored and introduced by Cong. John Conyers, D-Mich. With the passage of this bill in the House of Representatives , we would still be only half the way there. There has to be a similar/companion bill in the Senate. On the heels of the US Senate Apology for Slavery and Jim Crow Segregation, now is the time to pursue that Senate bill. At the same time that we expend our energy to pass HR 40, we can and should also be pushing the passage of a Senate version. To do that, we need a progressive Senator with conviction to author and introduce this bill to the Senate. NCOBRA is targeting Senator Roland Burris, D.- IL . A proponent of reparations, an Afro- descendant, and a man of conviction, we say Sen. Burris author a Companion bill to HR 40 now. Join us in this campaign by signing the petition.

| Reparations Now Update: I hope that you have been to the "Unity 4 Power" website (unity4power.org) to view the blueprint presentation and the 10-10-50 video. Remember, we each committed to educate ourselves to the systems that are working for our best interest. That means we should each also should do an internet search for the HR40 bill, the Senate "Apology" for lynching, the House "Apology" for Slavery & JimCrow and the Senate "Apology" for Slavery & JimCrow. We each should also add those documents to our Personal Family Library. We should also share those documents with our children and kinfolks in order to educate them to our struggle for Environmental and Social Justice. Please educate your kinfolks to the 40,000 for HR40 Campaign, the Insufficient Redress Campaign and the United Voices 4 Reparations Campaign. Teach them ways that they can be a part of this phase of Ourstory making process and the ultimate benefits of Functional/Operational Unity for Afrikan People. Brothers and Sisters, get your people excited about being Afrikan without the hyphen and without the hype, Dada Tracy Viergela Pierre said. "Make sure that they know about Queen Mother Moore, Baba Imari Obadele and Reparations Jay." Ask them to get a copy of the Reparations Mix CD(draft 1) to listen to it and have a family discussion about it. Invite them to view the Black Candle with you for education and discussion. And most importantly, lets get our children educated and involved in this struggle for the recovery of losses and liable and punitive damages for the injuries sustained by Afrikan People through all five of the injury areas identified by N'COBRA. Finally, make every effort to join me in New Orleans June 25-27, 2010 for the National N'COBRA Conference. Check out www.ncobra.org for details or call me (601.957.2969). Also, look for an announcement about a Southeast Regional Conference Call as a follow-up to our Southeast Regional Convention. May you know Raha, Anasa, & Makadara (Peace, Prosperity, & God-Power) through shared love with Afrikan People. from your Brotha A. Lukata Chikuyu, SE Regional Rep |
| Habari za jinoi Evening Greetings Afrikans (& others) Thank you for your thoughts related to the gates essay. Now that we have exalted the negative impact of this nonsense, please flip it. For every hour we spent on this negative discussion, we should spent three hours addressing solutions to the issues brought forward. Solution Kazi (Work): #1 - COLLECTIVE! Push HR 40 #2 - EACH ONE TEACH ONE! the real about the Reparations Movement and the collective effort needed to bring Reparations to fruition, (if only intern-Reparations). #3 - BUILD LOCAL (BLACK) POWER Base-group because "Freedom Is A Continuos Struggle" (everyone should read this book). Even after us get our "just due", the snakes will still be in the grass (and all of them won't be white). if we don't join N'COBRA, join somebody working proactively and progressively for the upliftment and advancement of Afrikan People and encourage your family to get involved! Teach your children - " Blackness has been a stigma, a curse with which we were born. Black Power means that henceforth this curse will be a badge of pride rather than of scorn." Robert S. Brown - Economist Brotha Lukata Jackson-MS Chapter of N'COBRA African People "Pulling Together to Repair Ourselves" 601.957.2969 or 601.982.0861 |
