Atlanta, GA, United States ·
I refuse to be a distraction in the movement against police brutality in America. Unfortunately, I am afraid my best intentions have become a hindrance. Toward that end, we have refunded every single donation that we've ever received (all the way back to September of 2014) and will no longer be accepting donations privately or publicly. We will securely and permanently delete your contact information from all databases.
While our original plan of launching in all 50 states was ambitious, it
was, in retrospect, unsustainable. I entered this August focused and
prepared to throw my entire life into what we were building, but have
admitted publicly and privately that after the attacks my family has
continuously suffered these past three months, I am simply not the same
person. I must tend to my emotional health and the well-being of my
family these next few months.
A part of me sincerely feels defeated, but anything other than this decision is simply unrealistic. I accept full responsibility for being unable to do better with this, but I assure you, with all that has been before me, this has been my best. Please forgive me for the disappointment this has caused.
Thankfully, many great organizations are continuing to form in this space and many more still need to be created. I will be rooting for you and hope that your determination to be a part of the solution continues for the rest of your life.
I will continue to write three articles a day, five days a week on injustice and hope to use that space to inform and inspire the world.
Thank you for everything.

interesting.
something was happening right under my nose and i completely missed it?
and what is more and peculiar is that from the title of it appears to be the same concept and idea i just came up with a few weeks ago and was trying to get set up, remotely, me being in trinidad, but its operations in the states.
then for all this to be happening with someone who i stand behind and with, shaun king. I am flabbergasted and why so much so? because i saw Shaun's posts regarding injustice against Black Americans and thought to include him, request his participation and if nothing else, as a board member to my idea.
that said,
I have a real problem here. is years now I with Shaun King, from the time Oprah hailed him out as a Morehouse man and what seems like from way back in 2008 or so...This is not the first time Shaun started some amazing shit and then just bailed. And i am like what the fuck you did not know you had a family. And the first time I saw it, I just went along, now this being the second time, I am like what the fuck is your problem? why is this a pattern with you? and yes i am angry, he has the tools, he is effective, he has the platforms, and still always bailing. so what the hell am i missing? this is lame. after the first time, when it becomes a pattern. but i shall say no more because the regret and anger for me, is I cant even do any thing i wish to do being off the plantation to such an extent, across waters, and in the carribean. but forget it. clearly i ma just made to sit here and be frustrated , being powerless, and ineffectual to enter the gayelle. so be it. let me allow those who choose to do so, peacefully.

i ended up writing on his thread
Maven Huggins: all these people telling you not to feel defeated, but it is really projection obverse language they are speaking. you are defeated. I been with you for a long time now. since 2008 or so when Oprah promoted you. I know now this is a pattern you have created. Starting wonderful needful initiatives that you bail out and always, always citing your family ..that i will withhold speaking and writing what that appears like to me.
now weird ass shit: I did not even know you were doing anything new on justice, except that i saw your posts on the black victims of police / more funny thing: I was trying to set up a social justice initiative, nation wide, to offer legal and justice support and resources to all victims and their families. I was planning to utilize crowd funding to create an endowment and try to build matched funds. I seriously thought to ask you to be on the board. but here is my imprisonment: I am in the caribbean, off the united states land mass plantation, and too far away to set up the structures myself and the person I tried to convince to administrate i have just allowed to fade rather than me get to a point of begging and badgering. you cant give people a vision, or convince them of answers and solutions when they are blind. I was told they were afraid of themselves. here you are afraid of people outside of yourself.
so that is one reason why i am angry..you are stopping something that is needful that others may not know what and how to do and manifest, based on circumstances and competence.
and here it is you stop and close up shop, not because you are failing, because you always shut down these wildly successful initiatives, but because what? you got scared, your people around you got scared? somethings not adding up. they dont know who you are? what you were sent to do? what you were imbued with to do? who are these agents of subversion and retardation? in your circle. instead of them putting a vanguard and solutions around you they tell you to dismantle. ? where the hell would we be as a people if all our odd freedom fighters were subjected to the same and made the same choices you have of shutting down operations? harriet tubman, sojourner truth, nat turner, denmark vessey? martin and malcolm?
and yeah some of them were killed but we are at war, and who the fuck are we when our soldiers leave the field, but then i look at you and am given pause. cause perhaps the shit is wrong and a mirage from step one
But i will say this. the other thing that pisses me off about you in both these times I see you shut down is that you dont even put the call out to allow someone else to step in and take over, so if you want to leave, leave your ass on, but dont knock down the effort , and the work, and the contributions and supporters. who does the fuck that./ are you building or showing , just presenting?perpetrating?
i cant get it. who gives blood to splatter it wasting on the roadway
i am sorry. I just had to say my peace cause I was too emotionally vested. as a silent observer .supporter who you dont even know my name or background.
and because i have been frantically looking and searching for the avenues where I could enter to be of some value and relevance to my people's struggles. only to see others with the privilege to enter as they choose, erect as they will, then destroy and dismantle as they whim.

and then there was this, and i was oblivious
