People's Climate March!

Image
                                                   As people we say a lot of things. We claim we want to do many things. Some are uncertain of where to begin. I say start where ever you can begin to make a difference. Starting things sometimes maybe the easiest part, but fighting all the way through gets a little more complicated.  This Sunday there will be an event held in prospect park. It is all about what you can do to assist with global warming. What better place to start than right here in your own backyard.  Headout to union square 14th street and show your support in finding ways to help stop global warming.

There was a mention of a video that emerged online showing ISIS fighters escorting nearly 200 men, that were stripped down to nothing except their underwear, through the desert. An hour later their was another video that made it online with 150 men, that were also in their underwear, this time they were lying motionless. Presumed to be dead in a straight row in the sand. During this time the videos could not be independently identified or confirmed by the AP, they appeared to illustrate the claims that were made online by ISIS supporters and Syrian activists about the mass killing. "There were no immediate comments by Syrian government. Also, another American from the Minneapolis area has been killed while fighting for ISIS, this is according to his family and friends. His death followed the one of Douglas McCain, an american boy who grew up in Minnesota. He died fighting ISIS in Syria last week.

Hip Hop Music and the Fight for Justice and Equality!

                                                                         The first song i heard for 2014 with a rapper addressing young black men losing their lives in the streets was T.I the name of the song is New National Anthem featuring Skylar Grey. T.I, Nelly, Talib Kweli, Young Jeezy and J. Cole were all vocal supporters for justice of Micheal "Mike" Brown. He speaks on the pain that everyone is going through as a nation. It speaks clearly about the racism that is taking place in this country, addressing issues such as the shooting that took place in the elementary school back in 2013; also the movie theatre shooting that took place in Aurora Colorado in the year 2012.  These young white boys were not killed when officers arrived on the scene instead they were arrested and face trial. So why are all these young black men and boys that are not killing anyone being treated so unfair and un-jus.  https://soundcloud.com/tiofficial/new-national-anthem-feat-skylar

                                                              The Senate arms program is currently reviewing the Weapons transfer program to evaluate how these weapons are being used. Officers in Missouri is currently using military grade weapons on protestors. They are treating the citizens as terrorist in their own country. These weapons were not made for protesters rather for a battle field. There are many reasons why these weapons should not be in the arms of officers and many reasons why they should. They started distributing these equipment in 2012 and then suspended it after they realized that equipments were going missing. Among these military grade supplies are armored personnel carriers, mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, M-4 rifles, assault rifles, rubber bullets and pepper spray rounds - which is clearly showing local law enforcement being militarized. The program was then continued in 2013 and now the law is being reviewed. The fact that these weapons we
