Film, Black Political Empowerment Project(B-PEP) Event

The Black Political Empowerment Project(B-PEP) The Black Political Project (B-PEP) and the Coalition Against Violence (CAV) have been working for sometime on the causes and solutions with regard to violence within the African  American community.  We encourage our community partners to attend this video presentation. " On the behalf of the Northside Coalition for Fair Housing (NCFH) I am writing to ask if you to attend the viewing of the documentary Spit 'in Anger: Venom of Fatherless Sons,produced by Mr. Kenneth Braswell; followed by a panel discussion with Mr. Kenneth Braswell .Please see attached Press Release.   Mr. Braswell will show his film and participate in a discussion on Wednesday June 11th 2014. The event will be held at Letter Carriers' Building 841 California Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15212. Open to the public it will start at 5 PM and there will be light refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.   Please review the following link, http://www.spitinanger.com/ to view the video promo and learn more about Spit 'in Anger: Venom of Fatherless Sons. Mr. Braswell is also the Executive Director of Fatherhood Incorporated . http://www.fathersincorporated.com/ . Brother Braswell is also a key player in the Obama Administrations' Fatherhood Initiative!   During holidays such as Father's day and Mother's day we are afforded the opportunity to celebrate those parents who are in their children's lives, but we do not stop to think about those who are being raised in single parent homes. Often times, in African American homes, fathers are not present due to a variety of reasons. Mr. Braswell's goal in producing Spit' in Anger was to initiate critical conversations about the importance of fathers and to create spaces for men and boys to talk about their anger and pain, ultimately to heal. The film addresses the underlying issue of anger that dwells in young black males as a result of not having a nurturing relationship with their fathers.   This is an issue that is not talked about within our communities but is an issue which we need to begin to address. We anticipate you joining us to initiate this discussion within the city of Pittsburgh and to embark on helping the young men we serve to heal, and understand that they are not alone.   If you are interested in joining forces do not hesitate to follow up with us, via email or telephone, and spread the word so that we ensure a successful event.   I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.   Sharnay Hearn Director of Community Outreach Northside Coalition for Fair Housing 1821 Brighton Road Pittsburgh, PA 15212 (412) 321-5527

Victims of Coaching Sexual Abuse vs. Chuck Wielgus The recent imminent induction of USA Swimming Executive Director, Chuck Wielgus, into the International Swimming Hall of Fame Class of 2014 has been the topic of a lot controversy. When the ISHOF added Wielgus to the list as an Honor Contributor in the class of 2014, set to take place at the 50th Annual Honoree Induction Ceremony on June 14th, they were met with backlash from a group of protesters known as the "Victims of Coaching Sexual Abuse" in conjunction with the Women's Sports Foundation.    The Victims of Coaching Sexual Abuse have submitted a formal petition and request to the ISHOF to change it's mind in regard to the Induction of Wielgus. The group and it's supporters feel that the current Executive Director doesn't deserve to be inducted due to his gross mishandling of USA Swimming's involvement in the sexual abuse scandals that have come to light in his term as Executive Director.    This is a topic of concern in the community of USA Swimming and all evidence should be considered. Information regarding the case can be found using the links below.       To view the materials that the Women's Sports Foundation wrote on the matter, CLICK HERE   To view USA Swimming's response to the protest in defense of Wielgus, CLICK HERE     If you would like to support the Victims of Coaching Sexual Abuse in their effort to rescind Chuck Wielgus' Hall of Fame nomination, SIGN PETITION HERE Int Swim Coaches Assoc | (540) 397-0505 | dougfonder@gmail.com | 2721 Brambleton Ave. SW Roanoke, VA 24015 Copyright © 2014.
