GRCAI of Chicago- Film Project Hood Liberator 2024

Tax deductible
I'm raising funds in order to get our story on the big screen to let the Black World know who we are and want I went through for the past 32 years trying to help my people who are trapped in America ghettos specifically Chicago Illinois. This docu-drama is based on my revised book (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition and also my experience growing up in the inner city of Chicago.

Once the proceeds from the film starts pouring in then I will be in a better position financially to purchase property in Chicago, buy office equipment and hire qualified Black Middle Class professionals and African Immigrants within the United States of America. I am calling on African Immigrants from the following nation's South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Angola, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria. Together we will build GRCAI of Chicago first for credibility before we expand to the African continent.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago mission is to eradicate Urban Violence in Chicago through Arts, Culture, Commerce, Spiritual Development and hosting African tours in 10 African nations. We're going to meet people from my African group GRCAI of Africa.

We will bring the best of the Diaspora to each African nation so that we can setup local chapters and do international trade among our people. We will reconnect Black Entrepreneurs with African Entrepreneurs, Black Artist with African Artist. In This Christian business our objective is to heal from enslavement and colonization. This is what my film will be about any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution.

“Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins,” is not just a docu-drama; it’s our story as GRCAM members we're not asking for permission we are taken the lead in solving Black Issues within the United States of America first for credibility before we expand our Christian business to 10 African nations. What I wrote about in my revised book is starting to come to pass. For example the Migrant Crisis in Black Chicago because of off code behavior for decades this is the results. All of the principles in my book is the code for GRCAM Members.

What inspired this project?

The inspiration for “Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins” emerged after I notice that my revised book was barely selling and items from my virtual store I refused to be ignored I am trying to build something positive for my racial group here in America but I have little to no support this is why I created a crowd funding page to let the whole world know our campaign.

After 15 years of being rejected and overlooked by established Black Organizations including the Black Church I decided to write and published my story “The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding, And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America” second edition yet my book was barely selling so then I created a virtual store in hopes of generating enough capital to start my Christian business (GRCAI of Chicago) which means the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. Our objective is to strengthen the Black family while improving the low income African American community starting in Chicago. Our mission to help eradicate urban violence in Chicago through Arts, Culture, Commerce, Spiritual Development and hosting African tours. We will visit and setup local chapters in 10 African nations they are as follows: South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Angola, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria. In time we will expand to the Caribbean places like the Bahamas, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica and Trinidad as well as Brazil.

GRCAI of Chicago will be committed to assisting with improving the African American community while having a strong connection to our chapters in Africa. We will train our black youth in such areas as Parenting, Information Technology, Blockchain Technology, Coding, Electricians, Petroleum Engineers, Landscaping, Creating Black Empowerment Films, Oil Painting and Journalism. We also plan on offering Associate Degree and Vocational Training. GRCAI of Chicago will help prioritize our goals such as securing our neighborhood and protecting our women and children. We will offer stipends for black youth who will act in our films, music videos and stage plays pending on our budget and sponsorship. We will also offer a Second Chance program to reach out to Former Gang Members, Ex-Offenders of non-violent crimes and Homeless Individuals within the community. GRCAI of Chicago will be a multi-purpose facility, functioning as a Nonprofit as well as a For Profit business. GRCAI of Chicago will operate under 9 separate functions under one roof.

1. Social Service component
2. Spiritual component (optional for secular people)
3. Political component
4. Entertainment component
5. Entrepreneur component
6. Health and Wellness component
7. Black Media component (New Black Voices of Media)
8. Science and Technology component
9. Travel and Tourism
We will practice group economics in real time by pooling our resources together in order to create and control our own Community Healthcare Center, Community Grocery Store and Community Housing this will be group economics in action. GRCAI of Chicago will help benefit Africa because we will form an alliance with African Immigrants in the United States of America starting in Chicago. In each African nation we will visit we will match Black Entrepreneurs with African Entrepreneurs, Black Artist with African Artist so that we can do international trade among our people. We also plan on setting up local chapters in each African nation we visit. Our objective is to unite middle class, working class and underclass Africans with the Diaspora and viceversa. Yet items from my virtual store is barely selling. I saw an opportunity to reach out to the Global African Family to let them know what I am trying to do for my people who are trapped in American Ghettos to encourage African Immigrants within the United States of America to work with me in building GRCAI of Chicago so that we can expand it to Africa.

We have made significant progress by upgrading our platform we’re now using Stream Yard technology to help us broadcast our vision and plan to the Black World. We need your support to take this project to the next level. I offer something that no Black leader in America has and that’s a solution to solve all of our social issues in America and throughout the Diaspora if given a chance. The only way Black America will truly be free is for us to build the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago with the help of Black Americans African Immigrants and other Black Immigrants. Then we will expand to South Africa and work with the South African Government to help solve load shedding, provide programs and services to create local jobs for African youth in exchange for citizenship. We will teach Black youth and African youth about Black Economic Empowerment, Geo-politics, Blockchain Technology and more. GRCAI of Africa would take the lead in rewriting the borders and build the new Africa.

On our Black Grassroots media platform we inform like minded Black People, African Immigrants, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Latinos, Afro-Caribbean and our listeners to work with us so that we can build our own global network, promote community advocacy and cultivate connections that will last for years to come. We’re going to have to unify and work together to build the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute starting in Chicago then we can create our own economy. We have to start practicing group economics.

I don’t operate like the next Black Man I have my own style and way of doing things. Since Black America/Black Chicago has overlooked and rejected my vision and plan for the pass 32 years my Christian business will be membership based. I am only responsible for my members those who are not part of us we will pray for them show them tough love and keep it movin. Once we build GRCAI of Chicago then we will hold mandatory orientation for local residents on the Westside of Chicago specifically Austin, Garfield Park and North Lawndale. Eventually we will expand to the Southside of Chicago and make our presence known within the African American community.

Everyone must pass our criminal background check, sign the community pledge and submit their thumb print to be placed in our database. We will separate ourselves from Con Artist, Harden Criminals, Degenerates, Off Code Negroes, Pedophiles and Urban Terrorist.
