Trini style Activism

WE will copy anything …
Frankly I am tired of the divisive habits; there is a lot do in the fight for our beloved country. We need to each take hold of different possible solutions, and work hard @ making that work, while SUPPORTING EACH OTHER! Imagine that! Some one sent me a link to this site http://www.voicesoftnt.org/. Finally an on-line forum that is not about partying but WHY HAVE THEY STARTED A NEW PETITION? The lay out is even similar! However on further review I have a few questions that I am hoping someone can help me with! http://www.trinidadmurders.org/ already has a well laid out petition. (see below) May I humbly suggest you contact them and provide a link to this petition. Maybe even start collecting off-line petitions in your area!

Accountability?!
I have finally grown tired of organizations selling “cat in Bag.” , “They eh go kno’ de difference” and if they ask we’ll mama guy them with words. Here an organization without any notable links, is seeking supports in financial way, yet who’s behind it!
As a us entity do they have 501 C 3 status verification active or pending? By The way who will be overseeing these funds?
I am not accusing them of anything I am simply suggesting we demand a level of transparency… having been directly affected by TnT crime and having seen one to many immigration crimes. I am asking. As for that address,
Maha Helping Hands of South Florida. 6289 West Sunrise Blvd.Suite 123.Sunrise Florida.Zip code: 33313
can someone please verify! Legally one has to post an address for web sites or deal with the US authorities, Unfortunately now many are simply virtual offices!

TRANSPERANCY?!

Who is collecting the money and what are they doing with it! These I am sure will be the first in a spate of organizations that will be set up! Who will they need to answer to or will we see a second victimization of the situation!

What good will this do!
I’ve had to answer this once to often

• "How does this help change the situation? Positive, concrete suggestions are what‘s needed. “

It is one thing, to sympathize with victims, it is easy, it is human...
But to empathize, to place yourself in another’s shoes is what makes us humane!

Seeming to have the support of others, may not seem like much, but to a family in that grief it means the world, unfortunately I come by this knowledge through personal experience... It is vital! This is an excert from a response to such a question http://www.trinidadmurders.org/ the first one
