- 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

the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
- http://www.naacp.org
Today, we face a renewed effort as the forces of racism and retrogression

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. |
