Racial Justice

Ethnic Majority
http://www.ethnicmajority.com/index.htm
The minority will someday become the majority. This is already true in California and Hawaii. And yet, African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans continue to be under-represented at the upper echelons of business, politics, and the very visible media and entertainment industry. And African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans continue to be discriminated against in the workplace, in housing, and are frequently the targets of hate crime and racial profiling.
Our mission is to empower African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans to achieve advancement in politics, business, at work, and society in general
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
http://www.naacp.org
Today, we face a renewed effort as the forces of racism and retrogression in America are again on the rise. Many of the hard-earned civil rights gains of the past three decades are under assault. But, with the support of the national staff and volunteers; 2200 units covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Korea; and more than 500,000 members, the new NAACP is stronger than ever.

Victim's Justice
When Americans think about
victims justice, we are usually thinking about individual crimes.

However, millions of people around the world have been victimized on a massive scale by brutal and corrupt dictatorships.

Indigineous people have often been victimized by democratically elected governments.

Loyal employees, shareholders and surrounding communities
have been victimized by corrupt corporate leadership.

The worst offendors are not necessarily the petty criminals on whom most of the attention is focused.

War Without End

The anger and fear that resulted from the terrible crimes of 9/11, have caused the American people to allow their leaders to institute unending undeclared war on a small band of fanatics. Our freedoms and democracy itself are threatened.
We hope that calmer heads will prevail.
Justice, not Vengeance or Political Intrigue.
