(GRCAM Waking Up Black America & Africa)

Attention everyone on my friends list, everyone in my social groups, and all of my international friends come celebrate (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement 28th Anniversary on Sunday November 10th 2019 on Facebook Live. From 8:00PM to 12:30AM Central Time. It’s convenient because you can participate, listen, or watch in the privacy of your home. I encourage most of all my Christian family worldwide to be apart of this special event.

Those who participate I will give them 5 minutes to tell my listeners about your business and or ministry. Please keep praying for me that God will allow the IRS to approve my nonprofit as a legitimate 501(c)(3) organization so that I can move forward in getting my film project fully funded and begin working on it for the public to see. As soon as I get my Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute established in Chicago I will invite my past guest speakers to attend our live events.

Instructions: on how to participate in this free webinar: You would need to connect with me through Facebook messenger as a voice call or a video call. The phone icon is for voice call and the camera icon is for video call.

I offer something that no Black leader has in America and that is a solution to solve all of our social problems in the United States if given a chance.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is a virtual Christian socialist organization. For me Christian socialism is an authentic form of Christianity. A Christian socialist is a form of socialism based on the teachings of Jesus. Many Christian socialists believe that capitalism is idolatrous and rooted in greed, social inequality, and institutionalized racism which most Christian denominations consider a mortal sin. We will focus on what we stand for: love, compassion, social justice, and liberation theology.

Jesus told us to focus on the lease of these in society according to Matthew 25:35–40. He also commanded us to be a witness to others not just for us to read his word, but to activate social change in the world according to Matthew 28: 16–20. We will be committed to the healing ministry of Jesus by showing compassion to inner city youth and their families which will promote dignity to the people and community we will serve. We will promote an authentic form of Christianity which is Christian Socialism. We will emphasize the importance of morals and character development for both Christians and Non-Christians. We will also focus on strengthening the black family and focus on solving black issues by promoting a black economic agenda.

GRCAM is a 21st century Black Community Empowerment and Kingdom Building approach to solving social issues in the Black Community. GRCAM aims to unite other likeminded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans throughout the African Diaspora. GRCAM will focus on two fronts domestically and internationally. We welcome all Christian denominations, Moderate Muslims, Secular People and Non-black sympathizers.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement will take the lead in rebuilding the Black Community and restoring the Black Family if given a chance. GRCAM will operate on 2 fronts domestically and internationally. On a domestic front our objective is to create a sense of national urgency about the genocide which is taken place within our inner cities in America starting in Chicago. We will achieve this through journalism, films/stage plays, social media and hold public forums. In all of our work we strive to educate and enlarge our audience of concern citizens who care about solving black issues once and for all in America.

After 15 years of being humiliated overlooked and ignored 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 within the United States to join my management team in order to make this business effective and successful for years to come.

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. In contrast, Nehemiah was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He did not build that wall by himself he had a professional team people like Architects, Brick layers and Engineers.

Since 2001 over 4,000 people in the city of Chicago alone has been killed due to urban violence. African Americans have been protesting and marching for equality and fairness in the United States for 52 years and still to this day institutionalized racism and police brutality still happening. We Can’t sell CD’s (Alton Sterling),We Can’t sleep (Aiyana Jones),We Can’t walk from the corner store (Mike Brown), We Can’t play cops and robbers (Tamir Rice), We Can’t go to church (Charleston 9), We Can’t walk home with Skittles (Trayvon Martin), We Can’t have a Hair brush while leaving a party (Sean Bell), We Can’t party on New Years (Oscar Grant), We Can’t get a normal Traffic ticket (Sandra Bland), We Can’t run (Walter Scott), We Can’t walk away from cops (Freddie Gray), We Can’t BREATHE (Eric Garner), We Can’t have the rights to Lawfully carry a Weapon (Philando Castile)We can’t break down on a public road with car issues(Corey Jones) We Can’t shop at Walmart (John Crawford) We Can’t park in a handicapped area (Terrence Crutcher) We Can’t read a book in a park car (Keith Scott) or relax in our home (Botham Jean).

In such a crucial time as these, we can’t afford to go backwards. I’m not here to entertain I’m here to recruit, inform and promote my vision about solving black issues once and for all in America. It’s time for us as Black People to embrace new ideas to solve our current social conditions. Today our elected black leaders have failed us they are all about themselves because they are being funded by the same group who created these social problems the financial elites. African Americans from the lower economic class are suffering great harm from senseless violence, high unemployment, mass incarceration, police brutality, drug abuse, high illiteracy, inadequate healthcare and failing schools as a result of institutionalized racism how do I know because I experience it when I lived there.

On an international front GRCAM aim is to unite other likeminded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans throughout the African Diaspora. In order for us to work together in turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute. I want to earn credibility through my Christian business before we expand to 10 African Nations. I want my international friends who live in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda to encourage their governments to allow us to have citizenship within 3 years if they are serious about us doing business on the African continent. We as black people must move away from being tribal.

We will go through the proper channels with their government to start our (NGO) Non-government organization as (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Africa. 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 GRCAI. In time, we will expand to Brazil and specific places in the Caribbean such as Barbados, Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real Black Christian 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, 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.

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 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.
