Are you doing your part for Our Folk?
One of our biggest problems today seems to be a lack of involvement from our fellow brothers and sisters. A lot of us are relying on others to get something started, to make a change; but as the days pass we do nothing. People spend countless hours on the Internet trash talking this organization or that. I have a question for you. What have you done to promote our movement? Even if you do not agree 100% with everything an organization says, at least they are making a positive effort to promote the ideas and values of our folk.
I truly believe every racial activist should find an organization that is right for him or her and join up. Joining an organization will help you direct your energies and time in a positive direction. Most organizations also have rules.
First off, for those of us in prison who feel we have nothing to contribute, many federal prisons have sort of a hobby program. Whether its leather, painting or ceramics, you can donate your talents to your favorite organization to sell on Ebay. Many organizations will be open to this idea and will welcome your donations! If you have drawing or writing skills, magazines are always in need of original articles and artwork. If you do not have any have any talents at all you can always donate money or stamps to WAU to help with their POW support and efforts with mailings.
For those of you in the free world, you have many more options open to you. Find a way to put your talents to use for our movement. These are just a few ideas:
Once again, magazines are always in need of original artwork and articles. Think you can write a better article? What is stopping you? Many organizations offer fliers for download. Make copies and deliver them to your community like newspapers, or hang fliers at your local supermarket and clubs. You can buy WP compilation CDs and hand them out to local teens. If all of this seems like too much, you can always contact your favorite organization and see what they are in need of for donations.
The movement needs your help, so step up to the plate. Any small activity you can do is better than remaining stagnant. Only you can make a difference; go out get involved today!
Get fliers from the following orgs online and distribute them:
