(GRCAM Recruiting Brave & Smart Black People Worldwide To Solve Black Issues In The 21st century)

My name is Emmanuel Barbee and I am the founder and president of (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. This organization is much more than about posting videos it’s about promoting the best of Black Culture an interacting with one another in real time through my free webinars and special events. We aim to eliminate the digital divide by sharing our knowledge of this new technology through our free webinars, online talkshow and special events. We work to attain our goals by providing access to our free webinars at no cost and encourage translation for our brothers and sisters who don’t speak the English language. We value transparency, which translates practically into wider compatibility.

I created (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement, a virtual Christian socialist organization 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 Progressive African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans throughout the African Diaspora. We welcome all Christian denominations, Moderate Muslims, Secular People and Non-black sympathizers. This is an authentic black organization who are interested in solving black issues once and for all starting in America.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is an interactive faith base and social justice organization that focuses on health and wellness, leadership development, and 21st century community building in the African American community and for our brothers and sisters throughout the African Diaspora. GRCAM uses social groups as a way to connect busy people and for others who prefer to remain in their comfort zones, it’s convenient without traveling in the privacy of your home. One way GRCAM interacts with our members is through our live online events until we are able to turn GRCAM into a real Christian business starting in Chicago.

By focusing our efforts on creating safe space in two main areas, we aim to create opportunities for our community to thrive unapologetically in their truths:

*Health and Wellness — We see health as a broad concept encompassing the wellbeing of our whole persons, and our whole community by promoting community urban farming, healthy cooking and eating initiatives.

*Leadership Development — We will hold bi-monthly workshops with such topics as political education, job preparedness, campaign organizing and more, in order to ensure there are inter-generational opportunities in our community. Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos Podcast is a platform used to connect GRCAM Group Members worldwide in one place.

GRCAM is on a mission to empower Black People worldwide:

We aim to generate opportunities for ourselves, our families, and our future to engage in healing, community building, and the creation of kinship. We strive to educate, empower, and embolden each other through sharing skills, knowledge and resources as we build towards the liberation of our people. We’re talking about ordinary law-abiding citizen who are overlooked. Hard workers who are undervalued and underappreciated in our community. The ones who are truly trying to improve the black community yet has little to no support. People like me who want to make a real difference in the black community before making our presence in Africa that’s where credibility is made.

GRCAM will be two businesses a nonprofit cooperative and a for profit service based business. It will have five components: a Social Service component, a Spiritual component, a Political component, an Entertainment component and a Entrepreneur component. Our focus is on strengthening the black family who reside in the inner cities, provide quality programs and services in order to rebuild Black Wall Street.

Our History

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) second edition in hopes of attracting 30 black middle class professionals within the United States to join my management team. I want black middle-class professionals 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.

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.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real business 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 (Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos Podcast, my revised book (The Solution For Black America) second edition and now through my upcoming urban Christian film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America.

My Vision For Africa: To reconnect with our ancestral homeland Africa. It’s my hope to connect with African Immigrants within the United States who will work with me and Sister Rena in rebuilding our urban communities within 10 cities in the Midwest. Before we expand to Africa I need my international friends who live in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda to encourage your governments to allow us to have citizenship within 3 years if you are serious about having us do business on the African continent. We as black people must move from being tribal.

Please encourage your family and friends who reside in Canada, Europe and the United States to purchase my revised book and read my story. Those who agree with my plan/vision make yourself known to me I provide all of my contact information within the book. This will help speed up the process for us to recruit brave and smart African Immigrants in America to assist me in setting up chapters in Africa. We will go through the proper channels with their government to start our (NGO) Non-government organization.

We will offer private employment to our members based on our budget and our sponsorship. We will provide infrastructure for clean running water, agricultural technology to feed the people, offer solar energy to help our members with their electrical generators and most of all help improve the African economy as well as educate the people about the problems with Capitalism and show them an alternative GRCAM. 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 Movement is a 21st century community building approach to solving social problems within the black community and throughout the African Diaspora. GRCAM offers a black economic agenda, promote a strong sustainable urban community through advocacy and innovation.

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. I believe this act of human collaboration across an open platform is essential to the low income African American community and our collective future.

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 read my story (The Solution For Black America) second edition. It’s available on Amazon as an e-book for $9.99 and or as a soft cover book for $15.00 plus shipping and handling. My book is the foundation of my future Christian business the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute.

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. This is more than just a new business endeavor it’s a new system.
