Winning the War Against Black Families by 2025 Campaign   8-08-2010 8:13 (EST)The "War on Drugs," which more appropriately should be considered a war against the civil and human rights of the Black community, has lost the full potential of one of its mightiest weapons—the disproportionate targeting, prosecution, and imprisonment of Black drug users. President Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act, passed by both the House and Senate with bi-partisan support, and severely reduces the disparity of prison sentences faced by Black people charged with drug crimes and begin to reverse the crash course our communities has been on for decades. Reduce but not eradicate.

Real Men Dance: Oakland's Turf Dancing Goes Global by 2025 Campaign   8-08-2010 8:24 (EST)The Oakland-based video crew YAKfilms has been documenting – and in part, shaping – TURF dancing for a few years now. YAKfilms posted "Dancing in the Rain" on YouTube in November. Ten months and 300K hits later, the video is finally being posted on blogs stateside, says Savion.

Using YouTube Insight, a web analytics tool, Savion has been able to track the video's hits. "Dancing in the Rain" first got traction in Germany, then France, Brazil, Russia and Denmark, Savion says.

Fourteen Examples of Racism in Criminal Justice Sy by 2025 Campaign   8-08-2010 8:19 (EST)The biggest crime in the U.S. criminal justice system is that it is a race-based institution where African-Americans are directly targeted and punished in a much more aggressive way than white people.

Saying the US criminal system is racist may be politically controversial in some circles. But the facts are overwhelming. No real debate about that. Below I set out numerous examples of these facts.

The question is - are these facts the mistakes of an otherwise good system, or are they evidence that the racist criminal justice system is working exactly as intended? Is the US criminal justice system operated to marginalize and control millions of African Americans?

Addressing Childhood Poverty by Rhonda Tsoi-A-Fatt   8-08-2010 8:09 (EST)It is widely understood that adult outcomes are tied to childhood life experiences and family economic circumstances. Yet this country, among the world's richest, has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the world. For black children, the rate is exponentially worse. As a result, black children and youth are less likely to graduate high school, finish college, land good jobs or raise children who aren't poor. Improving adult outcomes and ensuring more adults lead productive lives requires addressing childhood poverty, particularly among black children who are more likely than their counterparts to grow up poor.
