Do Something!!!

I returned from a very powerful event, Thank you steph!! It was the 4th Annual Tookie Williams Summit at Merritt College. Activist's spoke about Mumia Abu-Jamal, Kevin Cooper and Troy Anthony Davis. As listened to the injustice and racism against victims I began to understand THE IMPORTANCE OF creating a positive difference within our community. It's clear everyone should be committed to "DO SOMETHING" for our community. These men (Mumia Adu-Jamal, Kevin Cooper and Troy Anthony Davis) are innocent and have been on death row about 16 -20 years. Goggle them, and see the racial oppression; clear injustice. The message I received was to mobilize and work for change, stop the death penalty. I'll take it further, from the words of Troy Davis sister "DO SOMETHING". No more prisons, invest in education. Mentor a child or teen, tutor a kid, feed the homeless, volunteer for something you believe in, advocate and work make a difference. DO SOMETHING!!!
