HOW WE START:

Oakland California is a city with a wealth of historical and current activism to build upon from the
Black Panther party to the Black Dot Artists Collective to Youth Uprising and the Ella Baker
Center. Oakland is the Foundation's home base site for participating in ongoing efforts toward
building a model city for black people. Our focus begins in the black community, and
acknowledges the myriad of collaborators and relatives across cultures and communities. Our goal
is to establish a community foundation that addresses the basic needs for a free life. With small
donations from Oakland residents, we will begin to purchase property where we will house our
artists, educators, activists, ground floor leaders in exchange for them doing the work it takes
make drastic changes toward healthier black living. These community trailblazers must be cared
for and protected and together we hold the resources to do exactly that. One by one we will use a
model of interdependence to elevate ourselves and each other, one well wish, one kind action, one
dollar at a time.

HOW YOU CAN HELP NOW:

Get in where you fit in. Whatever your particular gifts and talents, we can use them:

* Become a board member (helping us gain our foundation status and
guiding the foundation).

* Become and intern or encourage someone you know to intern with
freeblacksouls.com. It's a great way to build marketable skills and build a
viable resume.

  Internships Are Available In These Areas
                 * Foundation Development
                 * Marketing and Graphic Design
                 * Administrative Management

* Commit now to donating later. The more people who pitch in the more
people we can support in their activism.

* Do something toward the exercise of freedom by African descendants on
a regular basis like:

* Discuss and enact affordable healthy eating habits with your family
members - everyone keeps everyone on track.

* Do homework with a young person in your life -- doesn't have to be your
child -- just someone you care about.

* Come up with an emotion-based activity, an intellect-based activity, and
a universal mystery based activity you can do with a young person in your
life. We all remember folks who spent good, deep, time with us when we
were young.

* Get some folks together to talk and plan - It could be about the lack of
culturally appropriate healthy activities for folks or the lack of living wage
jobs. We all do better when we work together to solve our issues.

* Consider engaging the institutions that affect us all from a position of
power. You are a citizen, maybe a parent, maybe a mentor, maybe just a
good friend, but your existence gives you the right to speak out on how
your city is run, how the schools near you are run, and who has access to
what where you live. Go to a community meeting, a town hall meeting, a
City Council meeting and listen. When you know what 's going on and how
you feel about it, speak up and encourage your neighbors to do the same.
