SUMMARY:Philly Juneteenth Celebration Featuring: Dr. Leonard & Rosalind Jeffries (Wednesday  June 19\, 2024 5pm-9pm at The Rotunda )
DESCRIPTION:A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Family Fun\, Guest Speakers\, Fashion & Talent Showcase Vendors\,Food\, EDUTAINMENT Hosted: Bigga Dre “Amun Sen Hotep Re” \nOver 60 years\, first begining as individuals and later in marriage\, Dr. Rosalind and Leonard Jeffries have began their Great and Majestic Walk with African Peoples and our Great Culture. Their Walk has spanded more than 25 African Countries and Hundreds of African Leaders and at the same time they were instrumental in fusing the African American Experience with their African Continental Experience ! \n1865 people were not interested in immigration into the United States. In fact\, the United States in the 1850’s and 1860’s had established a Know- Nothing Party; they did not want immigrants; they were against immigrants; and the immigrants that they were against were Papists\, German and Irish Catholics. There was no prospect of bringing in immigrants from central\, eastern\, and southern Europe; these were the unwashed masses. Eighteen-sixty-five was our period. Eighteen-sixty-five was when half a million Black people\, a quarter-million of them official Union army\, navy troops-participated in the Civil War. The question of Black folks getting into their history\, starting to fight for liberty and struggling for what is right is not the question of disuniting America. It has been our struggle that has kept America united. It has been our struggle that has raised anew the liberties that this nation professes. It has been our struggle that has created the 14th Amendment that became the amendment that the women could use and others could use\, when they talk about the expansion of liberty in America. \n-Dr. Leonard Jeffries

SUMMARY:EDUCATION Over INCARCERATION (Human Trafficking Awareness) Dr. Umar Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Bigga Dre Presents: Education Over Incarceration Featuring: Dr. Umar Johnson MLK WEEKEND Guest\nSpeakers\,Music\, Vegan Food\,  VENDORS  & More\n\n\nJOIN US Friday January 12\, 2024 from 5pm-9pm at CLARION HOTEL  (Philadelphia  International Airport) Essington P.a. 19029 Bigga Dre Presents…Education Over Incarceration Featuring: Dr. Umar Johnson MLK WEEKEND Human Trafficking Awareness Month ! JOIN Us for this very important Community Event! ENJOY a night of Guest Speakers\, Cultural Vendors\, Conscious Music\, Vegan Food! LEARN MORE about The “School To Prison Pipeline” and the Social\, Psychological and Physical Effects of The MAAFA \nVENDING OPPORTUNITIES and Other InquiriesEmail: trueandfaithful1@hotmail.com \nESCHATOLOGY (Bring Our Girls Back/Bring Our Boys Back) is a Prevention/Awareness PSA (Public Service Announcement) Campaign that is geared to provide solutions for melaninated people who have been disproportionately affected by Human Trafficking through what is called “THE MAAFA” . \nOver 75000 Black Women are currently missing but the mainstream media fails to bring immediate attention to the general public. \nRecent school-to-prison pipeline has zeroed in on the disturbing trajectory of black girls. School officials impose harsh punishments on black girls\, including suspension and expulsion from school\, at alarming rates. \nThe most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights reveals that one of the harshest forms of discipline–out of school suspension–is imposed on black girls at seven times the rate of their white peers. \nIn the juvenile justice system\, black girls are the fastest growing demographic when it comes to arrest and incarceration. Explanations for the disproportionate disciplinary\, arrest\, and incarceration rates for black girls range from implicit bias by school and law enforcement officials to structural risk factors\, like poverty. \nScholars point to disproportionate discipline\, arrest\, and incarceration rates as evidence of a system that fails black girls by pushing them out of school and into the juvenile justice system\, thereby ultimately placing them at risk for a range of adverse life experiences. \nWhen school officials impose exclusionary discipline\, defined as any disciplinary practice that removes a student from school\, they place those students on a path to the school-to-prison pipeline.Students from marginalized communities are more likely to end up in the school-to-prison pipeline because of systemic racism. Also known as structural or institutional racism\, systemic racism refers to systems and policies that create and/or maintain racial inequalities. \nDisciplinary actions that result in court referrals\, suspensions\, or expulsions – all of which increase the likelihood of dropping out and entering the juvenile justice system – are disproportionately applied to students of color. \nAdditionally\, Black students are more likely than their white peers to be suspended\, expelled\, or arrested for the same kind of conduct. Furthermore\, Black students are suspended or expelled at a rate almost 3.5 times greater than that of white students. \nOne of our goals is to provide Resource & Preventional Tools For Community Members such as a Comprehensive Application (Missing Person App)\, Therapeutic Wholistic Community Healing\, and Community Resource Building for those in need of service and assistance. \nA portion of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to organizations and groups who have partnered with the campaign! \nFree will Offering Donations at the door.
