BRITE LEADERSHIP COALITION eny
BLC is on to something with this coalition building initiative. Just imagine what it will be like in the next three or four years. If you are personally or collectively looking for an organization to partner with to strengthen your advocacy, BLC is that organization.
BLC's "Prioritized Community Agenda"
1. Education- Mandate the true teaching of Pan African American History. The Pan African American descendants of the kidnapped black African reality and contribution to the formation of this country has been negatively distorted and projected through a lens of racism and genocide denial.
2. Affordable Home Ownership and the DARP initiative to renovate NYCA.
3. Criminal Justice reform- the repeal of civil rights law 50a. This law avoid the early detection of the need for mental health support for police officers and other civil servants. This law has been repealed without the mental health evaluation component unique to BLC's advocacy.
4. An "Elected Civilian Complaint Review Board". Join the campaign to advocate for accountability of law enforcement. Visit on the web: stoppoliceviolencenyc.org or email BLC.
5. Human Trafficking- We are advocating for legislation that will make human trafficking a class 1 felony and kidnapping for the benefit of harvesting body parts punishable by life in prison. We further demand that the President elect create a cabinet position to end it.
6. The 2020 birth of the "BLC Friends of Parks Clean-Up Caravan" . A ten member central brooklyn park volunteer group aka THE CARAVAN. If you want assistance building capacity or facilitating your local park event or clean-up your welcome to join.
