Success! We Canvased the Neighborhood to Pass out Fliers for Event

,

Today, UNIA members assisted Masjid Al-Taqwa in passing out fliers for their upcoming event on Saturday, October19, 2013. This is the Grand Event -- 1st Aunnal Community Pride Cookout!. So we hope to see lots of faces from 2:00pm-6pm. There will be free food, music, spoken word, games, and more.

In addition, UNIA-ACL will have its African Market with Masjid so look for vendors of all kinds.

We were able to pass out all of the fliers for our targeted area. It was a wonderful experience, meeting community residents and all working together for a common goal -- a successful event. One of the most wonderful results was building relationships even though we all had so many different spiritual belief systems. What was most important was working toward a common goal -- improving the community through building relationships with those who live there.

May Peace and Blessings be upon us all.

Town Hall Meeting for Trayvon Martin Coalition -- Cooper Rd.

The Town Hall meeting was a great success last night. The photo to the left  features most of the attendees, including Front Row (L to R): Pamela Hamilton, Milikyah Etihw. Back Row (L to R) Demetrius Norman, Marvin T. Muhammad, Lester Smith, City Council member Rose McCulloch, Shannon Livingston.

Here's what we accomplished. We agreed to support the efforts of State Representative Roy Burrell in amending the La version of the "Stand Your Ground" law. He needs signed petitions and we agreed to assist with that.

The petitions should be ready and available for the next town hall meeting. This will be in weeks in Cedar Grove. We will keep you posted on the details.
