As of today, over 7500 people have registered with this Living In Black Network. For many progressive organizers an agency this large might constitute one of the greatest potentials within society to utilize as a change agent.
There are so many areas of the larger society, economy and culture where our influence would be critically needed. In all areas of human interaction from culture, consciousness, historical perspective, health, family and economics, we within this LIB Family have made great investments in bringing the information and momentum to the forefront of leadership. And we do have a footprint in various parts of the world where our actions have made a difference.
Yet I cannot help but feel that to the largest extent this Giant is still asleep. There is an immense potential that still lies waiting for the majority of our members to add their resourcefulness to. From the beginning of this LIB affair we always imagined that this would become a change agency to rival such historical movements as the SNCC, SCLC, Urban League, Nation of Islam and other large organizations with a solid track record of working for the best self interests of Black People.
Yet, still the Giant is sleeping.
In recent months many of you have seen that we have been teetering on the brink of collapse. With an organization this size it is unfortunate that our monthly budget would be so difficult to maintain despite the fact that it amounts to only about 35 cents per member, averaged out. Some people give a lot more than that, investing hundreds of $$$ within a month period in the knowledge and wisdom which we disperse. As well, many of our members are extremely busy, gathering and dispersing information, planning, organizing and rallying other members for collective action.
Today I appeal to all of our members to give this vision one grand effort. For all the right reasons we can bring together our already gathered resources, increase our membership many-fold, organize, collectivize, bring our strongest plans to the table and break out of our sleeping slumber.
With all that is going on in the larger society today: wars, increasing poverty, collapse of the family, educational crises, food and energy inflation, high cost of housing, concentration of the wealth in a tiny minority, natural phenomena and much more; this is a time when we need to heed the call of Harriet Tubman and race away from the seat of oppression and denial.
Stay tuned for the next week to LIBtv and LIBRadio as I do the best I can to serve the message that we awaken the Giant. In the mean time, please partake of at least one of the following recent programs. Your investment will buy us one more month to fulfill our mission and the material can serve as your own foundation for mastery of your particular creative talent.
Thanks for allowing me a moment of your busy day.
