(The Solution For Black America GRCAM)

The Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin has publicly announced plans to seek international help by appealing to the United Nations. Boykin said he’s going to ask the U.N. to come to Chicago to meet with minority communities. This is nothing but spin if he was serious he would work with people like me in Chicago who think outside of the box to give our ideas a chance instead of going through a government organization who is unable to stop violence in the State of Israel.

I created (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement in 1991 on a site called Gopher to help raise awareness about the genocide which is taking place within our inner cities in America, in order for me to connect with other like-minded individuals who share my concern to form a legitimate coalition across the United States and around the globe for my cause Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos starting in Chicago.

GRCAM is a virtual Christian socialist organization. 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 Luke 4:18–19. 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.

The mission of GRCAM is to help eradicate urban violence in the city of Chicago while at the same time meet the social needs of the communities and families we will serve if given a chance. After 15 years of reaching out to black people online and offline I decided to write and publish my experience in hopes of recruiting brave and smart individuals who will join my management team. I start writing my manuscript in 2005 and I published my revised book in 2012.

Once I have my management team in place (30 people) or once I generate enough capital from my book sell then I will start the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. My book is just the beginning what I want to be remembered for is trying to build something positive in the black community instead of complaining about the white man, career politicians, and the government not investing in urban communities. GRCAI will take the lead in solving black issues once and for all. I am calling for new leadership in Black America and that’s why I am trying to do. It takes a team to make a dream work. I am just one black man with a plan and a vision.

African American 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. Everyone deserves to feel safe, no matter what zip code they live in. We need to make long-term changes to make our communities safer, like providing our youth with more opportunities. There are also things we can do right now: curbing access to illegal guns, giving neighborhoods more say in developing community policing, and providing after-school programs to give children a safe place from violence. This is another reason why I am trying so hard to start my Christian business in the city of Chicago because our inner city youth deserve better.

I am asking all of my online followers, everyone on my friends list, and everyone in my social groups to please purchase my revised book “The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding, And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America” second edition. In my book I provide a 21st century plan on how my Christian organization the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago will help eradicate urban violence while at the same time meet the social needs of the communities and families we will serve if given a chance. Once I generate enough capital/seed money from my book sell I will recruit and hire qualified people within the United States to help me turn my ideas into action.

You don’t have to wait until my book is on the best seller list to work with me I am looking for 30 people within the United States who have read my story and meet the qualifications I am looking for which are: Investors, Business Partners, Christian Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurs and Philanthropist.

I am also looking for legitimate artists such as film directors, producers, actors, stage managers, fundraisers, technical directors and marketers who can assist me with the daily operation of my Christian business as mentioned in my revised book. I will discuss compensation and incentives with them behind closed doors after they pass a criminal back ground check.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago will begin on the Westside of Chicago serving Austin, Garfield Park, and the North Lawndale community before we expand to the Southside. Our aim objective is to strengthen the black family while improving the black community. Our vision is to make our presence known in the communities we will serve, and show compassion, effectiveness, and collaborative with those who we will serve by providing quality programs and services and strengthening our ability to carry out our mission.

We will assist local residents who become members that happens to fall on tough times, whether it be lack of employment, unexpected medical bills or utility bills they can rely on us to come through for them. We will offer stipends to our artist and private employment to our members based on our budget and sponsorship. Our clients, members, and students will be treated with dignity, by dedicated and compassionate staff and volunteers, in a welcoming environment. GRCAI will take the lead in solving social issues in the African American Community through our food distribution program, our social service programs, our spiritual program and other functions within this organization due to your purchase of my book you will help make an impact on the lives of those we will serve in our community. GRCAI will operate under 5 separate functions within the African American community.

1. A social service component

2. A Spiritual component (optional for secular people)

3. A Political component

4. An Entertainment component

5. An Entrepreneur component

My African brothers and sisters who live in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda don’t act like Black Americans I don’t have another 26 years to waste please encourage your family and friends who reside in Canada, Europe and the United States to purchase my revised book and read my story. This will help me speed up the process to recruit and hire brave and smart African Immigrants in America to assist me in starting my Christian organization in America for credibility before we expand on the African continent.

We will go through the proper channels with their government to start our (NGO) Non- government organization. We will offer private employment to our clients and members based on our budget and our sponsorship. We will provide infrastructure for clean running water, agricultural technology to feed the people, 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 the Caribbean Islands.

I call upon Millennials, Progressive African Americans, African Immigrants, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Caribbean, Non-black sympathizers, all Christians regardless of denominations, moderate Muslims, and secular people who are interested in working with me in turning my vision into a reality by reading my story. The only thing which is preventing me from starting my Christian organization is the lack of manpower and the capital this is why I am on 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. GRCAM exist in order for me to connect with other like minded individuals from across the United States and around the globe for us to make our community healthier, safer, and stronger.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago will be membership based and private in order for us to weed out people who don’t care about our inner-city youth, their families, or the black community. 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. GRCAI is open to all ordinary law-abiding citizens, all racial groups, and undiscovered artist. This is my contribution back to my community, society and throughout the African Diaspora.
