The National Community Action Coalition (NCAC) is hosting a Unity Summit on 4th and 5th April 2008 in Augusta , Georgia . We would like to ask every organization, group, and church, clergy, individuals, religions, youth leaders, community activist, community leaders that have an interest in human rights, civil rights and minority interest to join the summit. If you have faced an injustice and would like your voice to be heard join the summit. If you are ready to train others and make a change in your community and this nation, join the summit. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES COLLECTIVELY BRING YOUR ORGANIZATIONS TO THE TABLE TO STRATIGIZE AND EMPOWER. WE CAN BEGIN TO CLOSE THE DIVIDE BY CREATING A NATIONAL NETWORK AND UNITING. WE HAVE MARCHED AND NOW WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO NETWORK, ORGANIZE, STRATIGIZE AND COLLECTIVELY BRING OUR PLANS AND GREAT MINDS TO THE TABLE TO FORM A NATIONAL NETWORK WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER TO CLOSE THE DIVIDE IN AMERICA AND RESPOND TO INJUSTICE. THERE IS INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE, EVERYDAY.
We have called for an end to police brutality, racial profiling, abuse against children by the institutions that are suppose to protect them, negative media portrayal and unfair hate speech by radio, gang intervention, youth violence, bridging the elderly and the youth, building unity, stopping destruction of American rights, health disparities. We are asking that you join us to address these issues strategically. It is time that we come to the table and bring your teams, organizations, families, friends and unite and bring back the power to the people. Calling for all clergy who are interested in feeding the flock, the NAACP, SCLC, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and our community around the world that are interested in making a commitment to improve our quality of lives and standing for those who may not be able to stand. Now we as a people with an interest in our families, schools, businesses, economy and livli-hood are hoping to see people of all race and culture and good moral consciousness find just two days out of busy schedule to support the people. Hence, a nationwide movement is gaining momentum to stage a summit with speakers, a march, networking session and a banquet on April 4th-5th 2008. Various Groups and organizations, families, individuals are working together stand together to put our heads together and network in a stand against Social, Judicial and Economic Injustice. If you have been affected by any of this or not remember you can be at any time, you, your children, your grand children, friends and family. Come and share your stories and utilize the resource that will be available at that time. Bring a written version and work with the organizations there to assist you in any form and fashion. WE MUST CONTINE TO OVERCOME NOT INCARCERATE BUT EDUCATE.
The Power is in YOU!
