From the new website of our good friend and Board Member, Harry Williams...The statistics are startling but there is hope!

Welcome To The Movement

Did you know that America’s incarceration rate has risen 500% in 30 years.  Did you know that today there are 2.3 million Americans behind bars?  Did you know that the Sentencing Project predicts that 1 out every 3 black males can expect to go to prison in his life time if current trends continue?  Did you know that Latino incarceration rates rose 16% between 2000 and 2008?  Add to those startling stats the fact that gang membership has migrated from the hardcore inner cities to villages and farm towns all over America.

20th century answers will not work in an age where gang members plot and recruit through the internet.  In the absence of fathers and positive male models, many young girls are drawn to “thug niggas” who settle disputes with 9 millimeter pistols.

Most traditional churches exist far outside of the hip hop/street culture where inner city young people live.  Class issues have separated most mainstream churches from their mission field.  The poor and elderly live in terror as stray bullets blast out in the streets of the hood.  We are living in turmoil and heading for disaster.

Can this hell on earth be healed?  Yes.

Welcome to the movement.
