Now, more than ever, those of us who think alike, must act alike.
Black organizations operating in the interest of liberating our people must demand of ourselves-operational unity. Initiating programs of education and action that look towards solving immediate issues and problems, but at the same time politically arming us with the knowledge and political education to know what liberation truly means and requires of us. Join us for tomorrow’s challenge.
The Black Solidarity Coalition needs you to take on the immediate fight in four key areas for our survival:
Housing: Where we live and the fight against Ethnic Cleansing: gentrification, evictions, deed theft, NYCHA privatization
Youth Employment & Education: Teaching tangible skills for jobs needed to build and sustain our communities.
Fighting Incarceration: Closing Rikers and all racist prisons; End pre-trial detention (not being able to afford bail is not a crime)
Protect Migrants: Stopping the racist illegal kidnapping of people off the streets by ICE
Sign up! Join our future.
Do not let someone else determine our children’s future or our elder’s legacy.

Vote NO to Ballot Proposals 2-6
THE BALLOT PROPOSALS AND COMMUNITY CONTROL
The December 12th Movement asks voters to vote NO to ballot proposals 2-6 in next Tuesday’s election. Our organization grew out of and is rooted in the concept of community control. Ballot Proposals 2-6 are misleadingly promoted under the guise of streamlining the provision of Affordable Housing while, in fact, they undermine the body which is most capable of assuring affordable housing, i.e. the City Council.
The issue facing New York City’s residents is not “affordable housing” but “affordable housing for whom.” City Council members are best situated to know the demographics of their community and to ensure that the local, real AMI is the determinant of “affordability” for their community. And while most New York City residents don’t get to meet with their Borough President or City Mayor, they all have access to their City Council members.
A “Yes” vote for proposals 2-6 will unleash a Wild West burst of building even more unaffordable housing, mind-boggling profiteering by developers and the forced removal, the “ethnic cleansing” of Black people, as well as other people of color from New York City. New York City does not lack housing. It lacks housing that its current and non-billionaire future residents can afford. A “Yes” vote is a vote to destroy the demographic diversity of New York City, its culture and its fire.
