(Moving GRCAM Beyond Cyberspace With Support From My Group Members)

28 years is long enough I refuse to allow Black America to overlook my cause Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos. Those who join my film project and those who join my management team will go down in history with me and Sister Rena.

Since I lack an office in a physical building I use my computer to recruit, promote and inform others about my virtual Christian socialist organization (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. I assist people on my friends list and people in my social groups who participate on my online talkshow (Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos Podcast with creating their own podcast and Youtube channel. In addition, I assist people with creating basic websites, finding college scholarships/grants; housing; legal services all for free.

I don’t ask for donations instead I encourage people on my friends list and people in my social groups to please support me by purchasing my revised book and share my book information with their family/friends this will help get the ball rolling (The Solution For Black America) second edition. It’s available as an e-book for $9.99 and or as a soft cover book for $15.00 plus shipping and handling I provide the link to my Author Page below.

Our film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins) is still in progress. It’s been eleven months since I submitted my 501(c)(3) application to the IRS and to the Illinois Secretary of State so that the public will know that this is a legitimate business. Once the IRS approve my application then I will seek out Angel Investors & Sponsors to invest $400,000 for my film project. I am still seeking season film crew to be on standby. I am looking for the following: Sound Technicians, Computer Graphic Designers, Assistant Director, Director of Photography, Camera Assistants, Hair & Makeup Artist, Production Assistants, Actors, Comedians, Dancers, Models, Musicians, Poets, Gospel Singers, Screen Writers and Secular artist. The proceeds from the film will put me in a better position financially to purchase property in America and Africa, buy equipment and hire qualified Black Middle Class Professionals to help make this Christian business effective and successful for years to come.

If we are going to transform Black America and Africa the Diaspora must work together. I am laser-focused on what needs to be done to end urban violence in America. It’s time for GRCAM group members to connect with supporters in your area in order to have smart boots on the ground. Once I have my management team in place GRCAM will become GRCAI. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute starting in Chicago. Our first priority is to provide Community Safety and Economic Justice through our programs and services. GRCAI will combat urban gentrification by creating affordable housing and putting in place rent control standards to protect tenants from skyrocket prices.

GRCAI will offer initiatives to educate our members and mobilize young adults in the fight against urban violence. Our objective is to create a national movement to challenge the NRA in court and contributing to Pro Bono services on an annual basis. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will work on two fronts domestic front and on an international front.

On the domestic front our focus will be to eradicate urban violence in the Chicago through our programs and services. It’s going to require the entire African American Community to unite with our Global Black Family and Non-Black sympathizers in order for us to work together in solving this issue. A problem with so many causes is that people don’t look at the root of the problem we do. In my revised book I emphasis on education, community empowerment, and legislation will ensure that our community is safe from daily urban violence that is plaguing our inner cities.

GRCAI aims to create good jobs which means good education. In time GRCAI will invest in historically black colleges and universities. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute we take the lead to unite people from coast to coast, liberal and conservative, young and old, fed up and fired up, to work with us to end urban violence/gun violence which is taking so many. It’s in our hands. When we work together, we can solve our biggest challenges. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will take the lead in the marketplace by creating community co-op, worker-owned cooperative, community grocery stores and eventually community housing for our members.

On the international front we will focus on setting up chapters in 10 African nations they are as follows: Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. I encourage my Native African friends to push pressure on your governments to allow us to have citizenship within 3 years if you are serious about us doing business on the continent.

I encourage my Native African friends on the continent to share my book information, my video podcast and my blogs with all of your friends on Facebook and any other sites you are on in order to help get the ball rolling. We will go through the proper channels with the African government to start the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Africa as an (NGO) Non-government organization.

We will offer private employment to our members based on our budget and our sponsorship. We will create affordable housing units, provide infrastructure to build roads, bridges, power supplies, clean running water, agricultural technology to feed the people, transform energy away from fossil fuel and instead to solar, wind, and hydro energy to help our members with their electrical generators and most of all help improve the African economy. In time, we will expand to Brazil and specific places in the Caribbean such as Barbados, Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Africa will be an effort to assist the diaspora in the ability to shop with, visit, invest in and relocation back to Africa. All of our products and services will be provided by skilled and professional Africans from around the continent. It’s important for the Diaspora to make the connection physically and economically. GRCAI of Africa, will be there to help arrange your travel, welcome you upon arrival and assist with tours, translators and more.
GRCAI is more than just a new business endeavor it’s a greater pursuit and a new system that must be taught to those who want to be apart of it. Corruption will not be tolerated we will have protocol in place.

No one under my leadership will ever have to go through being rejected, humiliated and ignored just for trying to do something positive in the Black Community at lease on my watch. We welcome all Christian denominations, Moderate Muslims, Secular People and in time Non-black sympathizers. I want us as Black People to get our house in order first before we invite guest into our space. This is an authentic black organization first and fore most. Our objective is to solve black issues once and for all in America and throughout the African Diaspora.

GRCAI of Africa mission is to reconnect our people with the motherland, Africa. Our main tool to accomplish this is through tours. This has proved to be the most effective way to dispel the myths and negative propaganda that keeps Africa divided. We see Africa as the only viable option for the survival of African people. This position is supported by the worlds dependency on the natural resources in Africa (which are currently being controlled by non-Africans), the treatment of Africans outside of Africa, the investment portion of the company is designed to bring about a self-sufficient Africa by linking the skills and resources of Africans in the Diaspora with projects, investment opportunities and like-minded brothers and sisters on the continent. We must build a home base in Africa. We are at the most critical stage of our existence.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization (GRCAM) into a real Black Christian business (GRCAI) is the lack of manpower and the capital this is why I turned to social media to get my message out to the public through my Youtube videos, my Social Groups, my Blog Postings, my online talkshow, my revised book and now through my future urban Christian film. This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America.

I don’t have another 28 years to waste. It’s not my burden alone but rather a shared burden for I am just one black man with a vision and a plan, it takes a team to make a dream work. GRCAM is a global community of thinkers and builders I need your help to move GRCAM from behind a computer into our urban communities that need our talent and skills. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will be membership based. Everyone will be screen, must attend our mandatory orientation and sign the community pledge no exceptions. No harden criminals, No active gang members, No urban terrorist, No pedofiles, and no half steppers allowed in my organization this is how I get down. This is my contribution back to my community, society and throughout the African Diaspora.

It’s up to us to do something now.
