We are grassroots Lineage-based Organizers. As a part of a nationwide organizing effort called #PullUpSeptember2024 we are focusing on 5 Tangibles:
-Lineage-based Reparations-for those who can track their families back to 1865 and have had their families classified as either Mulatto, Colored, Negro, or Black; and currently classified as Black for at least the last 10 years.
-Delineation we are a specific ethnic group with a specific culture. We are not African-American. We are not people of color. We are not minorities.
-Anti-Black Hate Crime Bill to have Black Americans classified with protected status.
-Immigration-to stop illegal immigration, increase deportation of illegal immigrants, and to cap legal immigration.
-Protection from CPS for Black American Children-we want the same protections for Black American children that Native American children have under federal laws and statutes
This is our message to elected officials and other stakeholders!
What We Need & What You Get
In the month of September 2024, across the nation, there will be coordinated PullUpSeptember2024 rallies that will amplify the five tangibles mentioned above. We will have key movement speakers both from the grassroots level and those who may be more well-known. Our rallies are Black American family-focused which means that we have to provide for special conditions to meet the needs of our elderly and those who are the youngest among us. We are seeking your support to ensure that we can:
Obtain permits and event insurance
Provide security for our speakers and guests
Private Security for the general event
First-Aid Stations
Rent Port-A-Potties, Chairs (for the elderly)
Transportation Assistance
Audio/Visual Services
Create Signage and other promotional resources
Offer our speakers a small honorarium
Distribute water throughout the event to guests (attendees)
The Impact
As this is an entirely grassroots campaign your support will make a difference by:
Allowing us to host this event without compromising our message because it will be grassroots funded and supported.
Your return on investment will be generational as this will be history in the making as there has never been a nationwide grassroots movement for the repair of Black Americans, in the United States.
Risks & Challenges
At this point, there are no major risks and challenges. However, due to weather and government priorities, there may be a need to reschedule the event. If either of those conditions should arise these are the steps we will take:
We will schedule a Raincheck date in case of inclement weather.
We will reschedule for a future date with the government agency responsible for scheduling if government priorities cause the event to be canceled.
