(GRCAM Real Talk Real Issues)

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement 27 Yrs. In the making
Theme: Where Are My Black Builders?
Where: Facebook Live
When: April 18, 2019
Time: 7:00PM — 8:00PM Central Time

I am asking everyone on my Facebook friends list 1,839 in total to try to participate in my free online webinar known as (Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos) through Facebook Live on Facebook messenger as a voice call.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is a 21st century community building approach to solving social problems within the black community and throughout the African Diaspora.

First, I am calling upon all Christians on my friends list and in my social groups to pray for me and Sister Rena as we prepare to send out our business proposal to Angel Investors, Corporations, Foundations and Sponsors who would invest $400,000 towards my film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago). The capital from investors will go towards me hiring professional film crew such as Sound Technician, Computer Graphic Designers, Musicians, Poets, Assistant Director, Director of Photography, Camera Assistant, Gaffer, Hair & Makeup Artist and Production Assistant and of course quality actors. I am trying to give everyone on my friends list an opportunity to audition for my future film but you must be able to travel to Chicago. For those of you who are serious about participating in this project just send me your email address to my Facebook inbox. Also, I encourage you to read my revised book which is based on my film.

GRCAM History

I created (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement back in November 1991 on a site called Gopher because I was dissatisfied with all of the division taking place among black people I wanted to start a new movement in Black America and throughout the African Diaspora in order to connect with like minded Native Africans, Black Millennials, Progressive African Americans, African Immigrants, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Europeans. GRCAM represents the new Black Voices of Media. We welcome Non-black sympathizers, all Christian denominations, Moderate Muslims and Secular People who are interested in solving black issues once and for all in America.

After 15 years of being rejected, humiliated and ignored by established black organizations in the city of Chicago I decided to write and publish my story (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition in hopes of attracting 30 black middle class professionals and others within the United States to join my management team. I have my articles of incorporation and my bylaws typed and available for my Nonprofit Cooperative. I also have my articles of organization typed and available for my For Profit Service Based Business. Yet to add insult to injury still to this day I don’t have anyone on my management team.

I want qualified people on my management team who have the following credentials: Investors, Business Partners, Christian Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurs and Philanthropist.

I am also looking for legitimate Film Producers, Actors, Stage Managers, Grant Writers/Fundraisers, Technical Directors, Marketers, Accountants, Business Administrators, Social Workers, Financial Planners, Lawyers, Real Estate Brokers and Insurance Agents.

The only thing which is preventing me from starting my Christian organization 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 and now through my revised book and my upcoming film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago). This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America. I am just one black man with a plan and a vision 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 proceeds from my film and revised book will go towards starting my Christian business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago will become a nonprofit cooperative, faith based multi-disciplinary arts organization dedicated to developing, promoting and increasing awareness of Black culture from African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans.
GRCAI will be membership based and everyone will be screen and 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.

Mission
