Taking it to BET- Protesters to Rally Outside BET CEO's House September 15th!

Snap. crackle. pop. Folks are y'all paying attention? I keep telling yall the okie doke aint working these days. Grassroots activists are doing it for themselves. Protesters are going to picket outside of Debra Lee's house.

Determined to stop the entertainment industry from portraying negative images of black men and women, the “Enough is Enough!” Campaign will hold its first rally and demonstration at the Washington DC residence of Debra L. Lee, Chairman and CEO, Black Entertainment Television Networks.

If you are in the Washington, DC area on September 15th, get on the bus and head on over to Debra Lee's house with the folks from Enough is Enough. Y'all know Debbie is gon' be out of town that weekend. I wonder how BET will spin this?

I am telling y'all this is a multi front war and the internet is evening the playing field. We could not have done this stuff ten years ago. We don't need Rev. Al and Jesse, they've have been bought off anyway. One of yall in DC has just got to go to give the WAOD readers the 411.

now let me go back to finish writing this book.

Stop Funding Foolishness!

Featured Activism of the Day!

Today we're featuring another group actively engaged in combating the WAR ON BLACK WOMEN. They are called the SpiritHouse. and they have launched the Our Name is Our Own Campaign.

On the tails of the hurtful words of Don Imus, the Our Name is Our Own Campaign™ will target the systemic level of this habitual branding, and how it sabotages the work of social justice and obscures the vision for our common dreams. This grassroots campaign will be unveiled by Ruby Sales -- acclaimed civil rights activist, social critic, public theologian and history maker


Drop by and read about what they are all about. If you know of another group working it out, let me know.
