Send Patriots to the Panther 50th!
Donation protected
Help send Hy Thurman and Chuck Armsbury, members of the Young Patriot Organization and the Patriot Party to the 50th Aniversary celebration of the Black Panther Party this October!
The YPO was created in 1968 to help alleviate the oppressive conditions that many southern white migrants faced in Chicago`s Uptown community. Police brutality and murder, slum living, high unemployment, lack of health care and poverty are only a few examples.
In 1969 the Young Patriots were invited by the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panthers for Self Defense to join them to create the Original Rainbow Coalition (ORC). (Also alongside the Young Lords Organization and Rising Up Angry.) They were chosen because of their dedication to fight against racism and to organize their own community. The ORC set the successful example that the poor of all races can work together to organize their own while simultaneously created a system of supporting the common goals of their organizations.
Both Hy and Chuck remain dedicated to these poltics and are active today. Hy is working dillegently to reboot the YPO and Chuck organizes to the the War on Drugs in Eastern Washington.
I am asking your help in supporting the efforts of the Young Patriots to travel to Oakland, California, October 20 through 24, to take part in the Black Panther 50th Anniversary, conference and celebration by once again showing unity
