Welcome to Power To The People's Blog!

Welcome to the blog of Power To The People, an African-American social justice organization in Nashville, Tennessee. We've started this blog because of the media's "white-out" of our organization and our work.

For example, since December 2007, we've been conducting a campaign demanding that state and federal officials conduct full investigations into the deaths of two black teens, Linda Harris and Omega Leach III, at the Chad Youth Enhancement Center in nearby Ashland City. Omega's death was ruled a homicide. We held a march and rally on this issue. We also started the Nashville Bus Riders Union. We routinely keep the corporate media informed about our work, but they either ignore us or give short shrift to the issues we raise.

In fact, the corporate media in Nashville does little or no in-depth reporting and analysis of issues that impact black and poor people in this city. To help fill this void and get the word out about Power To The People's work, we have created this blog. In addition, we will periodically comment on relevant state, national or international news...from a Black and radical perspective.
