CHICAGO VIOLENCE: ECONOIC BOYCOTT/MARCH FOR PEACE FEBRUARY 1ST

Our power is in our dollars, last night I went to sleep with the news  that an innocent 15 year old girl was murdered.  Murdered at 2:30P walking home from school.  I don't ask why, I ask what can be done.  I have an idea, it is definitely not an end all be all solution BUT it is a start to have our voices heard.

An economic boycott,  BOYCOTT everything on Friday, February 1st that is not black owned.  Start Black History off with a bang.  If other cities joined in that would be even greater.  Of course I know its short notice but with social media the way it is today, word spreads faster than a wild fire.

There is a war on the poor, lower, working class and we are active participants in it as we stand back and do nothing but talk about how bad things are and say that something must be done.  IF NOT US THAN WHO?

It is time to take back our streets and our communities, it is time to let our voices be heard and one way to make an immediate impact is economically with our dollars.

I mean boycott everything, the corner store, liquor store, gas station, Walmart, Target, McDonald's, Burger King, Beefee's, etc.  EVERY AND ANYTHING IF IT IS NOT BLACK OWNED for 1 day.

To couple with the boycott, there is no school on Friday, how many teachers, students, parents, community leaders are willing to put down their plans for one day, join together and March on City Hall?  I mean everyone including the "degenerates" of society.  What if there was a day that no one bought anything, no one shot at anyone, no one was pulled over, ticketed or went to jail because they were all down at city hall and the surrounding area standing together in solidarity? (that idea was my cousins I will not take credit for that, but there name shall rename nameless)

The great thing is, there doesn't have to be a what if.  I am here saying Let's Do It! Spread the Word, Get Involved, Do Something!!!!!!

AGAIN, IF NOT US THAN WHO.

The time is out for me and mine and as long as it doesn't effect my household its alright mentality.  People are being shot at on the expressway, anything can happen anywhere at anytime.  We need Umoja (Unity) if you are poor, the lower class, working class, even the middle or upper class you are being effected in some way.  Enough of Me, Mine, its time for Us, We.

Be a blessing and be blessed! Namaste! Peace! Love! Joy!
