What are the issues to Heal the Hood?

Youth empowerment and building a revolutionary sustainable way of life through local production and home cottage industry

Gang and Underground economy truce.

Building an anti-poverty and employment and vocational movement for the Urban At-Risk Youth, Prison re-entry populations, and low income people out of work;

Building a mass movement against racist police terror and brutality, and to end racial profiling;

• Fighting School to mass imprisonment of our youth, and people of color, which is crippling families and their communities.

• How to organize an autonomy chapter in your city to do revolutionary grassroots organizing.

Who should come to Amen Ankh Farm?

Activists, educators, students, workers, and many others, in fact, everyone who has looked at the problems of unemployment, poverty, infant mortality, police murder and brutality, and other issues concentrated in the Black community, and said to themselves: “There has to be an answer!” Well, there is, the Black people must organize their own mass movement and must direct our voted officials and those in political offices, corporations, and other institutions. Yet, we must all be willing to learn new ideas, and hear new voices and from new leadership and youth, not heard from before. We need real solutions, instead of the political dead ends distractions and busy work of the past few years that have been presented. Kansas City needs this new path, to jumpstart people power structures in the urban areas that can lead to the building of new social movements all over the Americas. This is a worker's movement, which anyone in our community can attend if they come to work to solve their own problems.

* You should come because you want solutions to what you see in our communities every day and on the nightly news: unemployed young men on the corner; dead youth at the hands of each other or from the police; massive numbers of Black people thrown into jail and prisons over the drug trade, families overcoming nutritional deprivation and poverty, and other issues we see but don’t understand there is something we can do about this. We are talking about building solutions to our problems: a new campaign about police brutality and terrorism that includes community self-defense; a mass movement against poverty and unemployment that includes building a Black solidarity economy, at a time when our community is suffering from depression levels of unemployment. We need to talk about how we build a mass movement for youth empowerment in order to turn the youth into community organizers and agents for social change. We will talk about a mass community-based movement against racial profiling and deadly police and auxiliary police attacks on Black youth; and finally, we need to talk about how to build a movement for Autonomy in your city, in order to apply what you have learned at this conference.

EMWOT and Youth Going Green

EMWOT is dedicated to the sharing of experiences, best practices and methods for achieving sustainability in our personal lives, our communities and our Ecosystems.

As Troost put behind it the dividing line that separated the races, Blacks moved south across the 27th street, race boundary line to Linwood, to Brush Creek, to 63rd street and eventually to Bannister and beyond, as white flight moved to gated communities and further west of Troost. As new neighborhoods are built, EMWOT plays its role in organizing an economically sustainable community.
