"We Want Decent Shelter Fit For Human Beings" BPP

4/9/2020

1 Comment

 
The conditions for poor Black African people and other oppressed peoples of color in America is deplorable, particularly in the area of affordable housing. In the 1960's and 1970's, the Black Panther Party courageously organized for change, creating community programs to address the social and political needs of struggling Black African people. The 10 Point platform outlined the demands of the Party. Among the demands was point number 4, which stated, "We want descent housing fit for shelter of human beings." The homelessness and displaced community crisis has reached a boiling point in Oakland California.

Our local organization, AeroSoul in collaboration with Madow Futur came together during the COVID19 crisis to address this concern, by transforming the visual landscape to reflect the needs of our community through mural painting. Revolutionary artists are essential workers needed to create an environment that positively impacts mental health and wellness. The side of the historic Greyhound building on San Pablo Avenue has been transformed into a beacon for change and a commemorative tribute to the legendary Black Panther Party for Self Defense. We are currently raising funds to extend this mural campaign at that site, as well as others. Your support keeps us at work.  Please click the link below to donate.
