Our 14-Point Agenda

14 Point People's Agenda for North Carolina

• All Children Need High Quality, Well Funded, Diverse Schools. NC must meet its Constitution's requirement of adequate and diverse schools by fully funding Leandrowith transparent accountability and creating special leadership teams in its failing schools.
  • Livable Wages and Support for Low Income People. NC ought to provide livable wages, make sure no person goes hungry and that everyone in need has affordable, accessible childcare.
  • Health Care for All. NC ought to provide its people with health insurance and prescription drugs, while funding public health programs to treat social diseases that plague Black and poor communities including HIV/AIDS, diseases caused by environmental pollution and warming, drugs, domestic violence, mental illness, diabetes, and obesity.
  • Redress Two Ugly Chapters in N. C.'s Racist History: The overthrow of the bi-racial 1898 Wilmington Government and the sterilization of poor, mainly Black, women from 1947-1977. NC must implement its 1898 Wilmington Riot Commission recommendations and pay damages to the poor women it forcibly sterilized.
  • Same Day Registration and Public Financing of Elections.
  • Lift Every HBCU. NC must financially support our Historically Black Colleges and Universities to develop equitable infrastructure and programs with doctoral-level leadership for today's challenges.
  • Document and Redress 200 years of State Discrimination in Hiring and Contracting. NC must commission historical documentation of its contracting practices with racial minorities to justify constitutional redress.
  • Provide Affordable Housing and Stop Consumer Abuse. NC must provide an Affordable Housing Trust Fund for low-income renters, vouchers for wounded veterans who can not find accessible housing, meaningful tax breaks for seniors forced out of their homes, and protection against predatory lending and foreclosures.
  • Abolish Racially Biased Death Penalty and Mandatory Sentencing Laws; Reform our Prisons.
  • Put Young People to Work to Save the Environment and Fight for Environmental Justice. NC must establish an Environmental Job Corps for young people who did not graduate from high school to re-engage them in public service. NC must fight all forms of environmental injustice.
  • Collective Bargaining for Public Employees and Support Smithfield Workers Right to Unionize. NC must support the right of Smithfield workers in Tar Heel to form a union and work in a safe environment, and support collective bargaining for public employees.
  • Protect the Rights of Immigrants from Latin America and other Nations. NC must provide immigrants with health care, education, workers rights and protection from discrimination.

NORTH CAROLINA NAACP TO LEAD THOUSANDS IN RALEIGH TO DEMAND JOBS, FOCUS ON EDUCATION, FIGHT RESEGREGATION

NATIONAL NAACP PRESIDENT BEN JEALOUS TO ADDRESS JOBS CRISIS, FAILING SCHOOLS VIA SPECIAL MESSAGE 

 

Raleigh, NC –Thousands are expected to meet at Shaw University on Saturday, February 27 and march to the State Legislature on Jones Street to protest the re-segregation of public schools, call for education instead of imprisonment, and demand good jobs and schools.  The 4^th Annual HKonJ (Historic Thousands on Jones Street) March and Assembly has adopted the slogan of the 50^th Anniversary of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in honor of spirit of the SNCC movement an in light of a need for movement today. Only 50 years after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ella Baker helped Black and White students form SNCC, there is today a similar explosion among our young people of long-simmering frustrations.

 

“This is one of the most exciting movements I’ve seen across the country,” said NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “The agenda-based coalition, led by the NAACP State Conference, should be replicated across the country. We cannot in good moral conscience separate the struggle for diverse and superior education from the struggle for jobs and economic solutions.”

 

“On one hand, we must expose that the ultra right wing race baiting re-segregation strategy is a cynical attempt to play upon people’s vulnerability to division as they struggle for jobs,” said North Carolina NAACP State Conference President Rev. William J. Barber II. “On the other hand, we must demand recognition that the economic crisis in the African American and poor communities existed before recent crisis was acknowledge by the larger society and must be addressed.”

 

WHO:   North Carolina civil rights and civic leaders, Special Audio Message from NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous

 

WHEN:  Saturday, February 27, 2010, 9:30am – 12 noon

               9:30am  Gather Shaw University, Estey Hall  March to

               11:00am  Rally at 16 W. Jones St (downtown Raleigh)

NATIONAL NAACP PRES. BEN JEALOUS AND N.C. PRESIDENT REV. DR. WILLIAM J. BARBER, II

 

WILL MEET WITH THE MEDIA ON SATURDAY MORNING

WE MUST SAY NEVER AGAIN

WE WANT JUSTICE ON THE GROUND!

 

Durham, NC)  National NAACP President and CEO Ben Jealous and N.C. NAACP President William J. Barber will conduct a statewide press conference in Estey Hall on the campus of Shaw University on Saturday, February 13 at 10:45am following their meeting with representatives of the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HK on J) Coalition and area NAACP adult and youth presidents.

 

HKon J Coalition leaders held a 45-minute conference call today for thoughtful assessment of the weather conditions predicted for southern North Carolina tomorrow morning.    The new date for HK on J will be Saturday, February 27 using the same schedule.  Rev. Barber said, “We considered the strong momentum and excitement across the State for tomorrow's Assembly.  There are more buses rented, more car pools organized, and more young people mobilizing than ever before.  The right wing's attack on diverse schools, their obstructionist tactics towards a good jobs program, and their impediments to economic investment in the most vulnerable communities has aroused people of good will across the state.  But we also considered our elders, our children, our people with special needs, the threat of icy roads in the morning, and the people driving from Wilmington and other southern areas where snow is predicted.  After a thoughtful discussion, we decided to postpone HKon J for two weeks, so all our people can come safely.  We will use the two weeks to fill more buses, and build the momentum of the HK on J movement here and across the South.  We encourage all North Carolinians to save the date and join us in Raleigh then.”

 

Presidents Jealous and Barber will meet with the HKonJ coalition leaders and then hold a news conference at 10:45 tomorrow morning, February 13th, at Shaw, the site of SNCC's 50th Anniversary in mid-April of this year.  Jealous is fresh from a meeting with President Obama at the White House this week, where they discussed the depression-sized unemployment rates for minorities, in relation to Obama's proposed Jobs Program.  Barber will update the media about the heated struggle against resegregating the public schools in North Carolina, in Wake, Wayne, Wilmington, and Charlotte and a call to the Governor to convene a NC Jobs Summit.

 

“HK on J” is the annual March and People’s Assembly that is held on the second weekend in February in commemoration of the founding of the NAACP.  Thousands gather in Raleigh to present the Coalition's 14-point Agenda in front of the NC Legislative Building on Jones Street.  Organizers include the State NAACP, and the HK on J Coalition Partners which consists of more than 85 social justice and civil rights organizations throughout the state.
