June 25- Atlanta, GA. Black activists mobilized in over 41 cities for the second National-International Day of Action and Unity. Saturday, June 25th brought into existence what organizers are calling a ‘United Front for Black and African Peoples’. According to Day of Action and Unity co-organizer Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, who also chairs the New Black Panther Party and was a national co-convener of the 2005 Millions More Movement says, “this second day of action represents the fact that consistency and follow up is paramount in order for us to be successful in this liberation struggle. The unity of activists, grassroots organizers, the Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers and over 55 local formations and organizations all moving on the same day on the same agenda marks a watershed moment and a great opportunity.” Organizers also called for and carried out a boycott and fast against all non-Black Businesses that was designed to improve the economic conditions for Blacks.

In Harlem, New York a coalition of activists converged on Zionist controlled Platinum Jewelry on 125th street in Harlem to bring outcry against the issue of “blood diamonds” and exploitation of the Black economy by outsiders. The presence of demonstrators and police virtually shut down business, as there were only two customers all day. Organizers pledge to return regularly. In Brooklyn, New York a “Black Unity Day for Self Love” featured family food, fun and speakers. In Liverpool and London, England “African Liberation Celebrations” focusing on Pan-Africanism were successful. In Newark, NJ, Charlotte, North Carolina, Norfolk, Virginia and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania coalition of activists gave away free food, clothes and books to crowds of needy brothers and sisters. In Washington, D.C. and Louisville, Kentucky and Chicago, Illinois, key coalitions of activists met to agree to map out a strategy to combat economic problems, police harassment, court violations and other urban issues. In Miami, Florida a remarkable family affair and celebration took place with the courageous women and children at the Safespace domestic shelter in Miami. In Jacksonville, Florida a united front of activists rallied in the heart of the Black Community where crime and unemployment is very high and hundreds heard from speakers including the Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers, the Black Church and other Grassroots activists. Earlier that day a vigil and planning meeting at the Duvall County Courthouse to help victims of police brutality, State Attorney abuse of power and other legal injustices. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana radio host- activist Silky Slim and anti gang activists and the Nation of Islam swarmed the streets talking to and mentoring young people about the dangers of self -hatred and genocide. In Trenton, New Jersey the Youth were also the focus. In Fairmont, West Virginia, the Black Unity Coalition rallied for self love and self respect in areas where Blacks are thirsty for unity. In Henderson North Carolina, sister Renee Gray and Kind Samir Shabazz and others pushed back against police harassment from the first Day of Action and was successful in reaching throngs of Black Youth. In Raleigh, North Carolina bold organizers took to the strip clubs in a “Rally against abuse and exploitation of Black Girls and Women.” In Los Angeles, organizer Malik El-Ghani convened gang members and community activists near the site of the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion. Organizers, which included many Black women, plotted new strategies and gained new hope in our fight. All over America and parts of the world Black People rose up and declare that we will help our people.

Dr. Mauricelm-lei Millere, a Nigerian born, clinical behavioral psychotherapist and a member of the national board of organizers of the United Front says, “its Black Nationalism now or never. In past years of human years, present and future, the most difficult obstacles afforded to us was a splintered movement with splintered goals and divided leaders today this is no longer an obstacle.” Sister Ayira Ayotunde Ife, an organizer in Midland, Texas says, “We are giving the Black community hope by letting them know that if we don’t agree with the injustices in our country we can get out and take action. Not just on the National day of action but all year. We offer the people hope.”

Attorney Shabazz who delivered a live worldwide webcast from Atlanta, Georgia says that the next day of action is set Saturday October 1s, 2011 but the labor continues every day. He and other laborers are organizing 22 National Ministries for the self help and Self government of Black People worldwide.
