black bill of rights: amplified

4 weeks ago I re­leased the Black Bill of Rights.

When you work on some­thing for so long (2 years) and then fi­nal­ly get the chance to speak about it out loud, it’s tru­ly sur­re­al. The fun­ny thing is, the more that I talk about it, the more that I un­der­stand the im­por­tance of this concept.

Not be­cause it’s mine but be­cause it’s OURS!

The Black Bill of Rights is a frame­work that not only urges Black peo­ple to dream and en­vi­sion what a world would look like out­side of the con­struct of White Su­prema­cy but it gives us a vi­able roadmap to ac­tu­al­ly make this vi­sion and plan a reality.

How will we do this? We are still in the process of build­ing out the web­site to match the in­ten­tions of the Frame­work. The web­site will pro­vide every Black com­mu­ni­ty in our na­tion with a roadmap. It is de­signed to act as a hub for com­mu­ni­ties to share leg­is­la­tion and pol­i­cy that has been passed, or pro­grams that ex­ist so we can learn from one an­oth­er – and sup­port each other.

The web­site will also sup­port the grow­ing net­work of peo­ple who un­der­stand how im­por­tant it is that this na­tion heals the wounds of the cru­el lega­cy of racism.

We have start­ed this jour­ney with polic­ing be­cause this is the #1 con­cern of Black peo­ple in Amer­i­ca but in its com­plete form, the web­site will of­fer the re­sources that will serve as a tem­plate to help guide Black com­mu­ni­ties to build au­then­ti­cal­ly sound in­fra­struc­tures on a lo­cal lev­el that will keep them safe and give them the right to be an ac­tive par­tic­i­pant in their governing.

From there, we di­rect our at­ten­tion to every OTH­ER sec­tor that af­fects Black Amer­i­cans, from real es­tate to ed­u­ca­tion – per­son­al fi­nance to health care. We will cre­ate the world we want and need, 1 by 1 – together.

In the meantime …

I will con­tin­ue to seek out out­lets, write op-eds, cre­ate con­tent, build pe­ti­tions, sit on pan­els, etc. to ex­plain why the Black Bill of Rights needs to be a part of the na­tion­al conversation.

If what you are read­ing res­onates with you, I humbly ask that you join me in am­pli­fy­ing this mes­sage. If you have ac­cess to me­dia, (pod­casts, online/ hard­copy mag­a­zine,) please reach out to me.

Are you a part of a group that is work­ing to build anti-racists in­fra­struc­tures in your com­mu­ni­ty? Not you, but you know folks in your net­work? I want to hear from you! Let’s collaborate/partner and start build­ing the foun­da­tion that will sup­port this work across the na­tion. Send folks to our web­site at activismarticulated.com or con­nect with me through FLOMM.
