National Black People's Day of Action - March 2nd 2012
Proposed Aims and Objectives
To bring together a broad section of the Afrikan community, including activists, Afrikan-centred professionals, community leaders, organisations and institutions to:
1. Organise a programme of commemoration of the 31st Anniversary of the National Black People's Day of Action (NBPDA) - Wednesday, 2nd March, 2012 - with a view to making it an annual observance and public holiday.
2. Promote nationwide awareness of the NBPDA - especially among our young people - and the vital importance of this (and others) as a historical landmark to the Afrikan presence in Britain.
3. Establish a foundation for forging principled and operational unity, toward attaining community empowerment and capacity development - culturally, socially, educationally, economically and politically.
4. Work toward establishing a nationwide Afrikan Leadership Council and People's Parliament, to provide an effective, independent, representative and coordinated voice for Afrikan people in Britain.
5. Lay the foundation for building the capacity to effectively tackle and eradicate such social maladies as: drugs, guns and gang violence; as well as disproportionately high school exclusions and underachievement; deaths in custody; stop and search; DNA profiling; chronic unemployment; etc. which continue to destroy the lives of our people, especially our youths.
Our annual commemorations will enable us to set targets and assess our progress vis a vis these aims and objectives and rededicate ourselves to them.
