QUESTIONAIRES!

Here are a ton of filled out questionaires the Youth brought back from the Tupac event. For more explanation on this stuff, scroll down past all the images. Check them out!

I'M A HUSLTER

I'M  A HUSLTER .... MEANING THAT I'M GOOD AT RAISING MONEY FOR MYSELF AND GOOD CAUSES.I'M GOOD AT WHAT I DO AND I'M VERY COMFORTABLE IN WHAT DO. I HELP PEOPLE RAISE MONEY AND HELP SELL THINGS THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM LIKE CANDY, TACOS, MOVIES, CLOTHING  AND MUCH MORE. I  ALSO HELPED MY FRIENDS WITH THE QUESTIONAIRE. I HAD PEOPLE  GIVE  THEIR HONEST OPINION ON HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT GARY, INDIANA AND WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO CHANGE THINGS AROUND GARY, INDIANA.

Questionaire Project

A while back we made some questionaire sheets that asked people how the felt about Gary. We took them to a Hip Hop Summit that was tributing Tupac at IUN. It was a success. We had college students, high school students, and older adults fill them out. Many said that their future was not in Gary. That was not a surprise to me. But overall it was cool that people even filled them out.
The Tribute to Tupac was very interesting. The speaker was well-known spoken word artist Malik Yusef. He was friends with late great Tupac Shakur. He explained how Pac really was. He also explained the demise of Tupac. I look up to Pac so I loved learning all I could about him. There was also a discussion afterwards about Hip Hop and the affect it has on our lives. The whole time I was amazed. It gave me some insight on how to the problems in the black and poor communities.

DC TRIP

MY D.C TRIP WAS VERY INTERESTING. I MET NEW PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES AND NOW THEY ARE FIGHTING  TO SAVE THEIR HOMES.  I ALSO GOT TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND HEAR ABOUT THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY WAS GOING THROUGH. I  GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE WHITE HOUSE AS WELL. I WAS THERE TO HELP THE PEOPLE TO STOP GEORGE BUSH FOR FORECLOSING PEOPLE'S HOMES AND TO STOP THE WAR. WE ALSO WENT TO BEN  BERNANKE'S HOUSE. HE  IS THE  CHAIRMAN OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, AND  HE IS  CLOSING PEOPLE'S HOMES. I LEARNED A LOT WHILE I WAS IN D.C  AND TRIED TO HELP PEOPLE SAVE THEIR HOMES.

D.C Trip

During April 11-14 the Central District Organization (CDO) went to Washington DC to the annual NPA National Peoples action conference. The whole purpose was to go to different workshops that they offered and learn about what we could do as a community organization to better our cause and even our community.The first day we got there we went to our hotel which was the Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel which was very nice. At the hotel we got right into the fun, there were people there from many places to come and share in what NPA had to offer. They held a very big meeting in one of the ball rooms to greet everybody and to discuss what we were going to to do. Then Sunday we had a very busy day. We attended two workshops our choices ranged from housing, health care, worker's rights and human rights. The second set workshops were equal education, immigration, and justice.We talked about our values. This was followed by two action. We went to protest the White house and Ben Bernanke on the housing crisis. A lot of people are loosing their homes due to the Federal Reserve and bad loans. After a very long day there were two parties. One for the teens and one for the adults which was not that good. On Monday we ended the conference with three actions. We went to the federal reserves, HUD (Housing and Urban Development), and Homeland Security. Then we headed to Gary Indiana. To sum up what it was like for me, it was fun. I learned a lot about the government and the people who are affected the most, like us.

My Quest to DC

We the youth of The Central District Organization went on a trip to Washington DC. I think the trip was amazing. It left a lasting impression on me. Seeing people from all over the country, black, white, brown, yellow, all there for one thing (Change). The issues we stressed were houses being foreclosed, people being homeless and poor in this rich nation, and immigration. We protested at the White House, the Federal Reserve Building,and the Homeland Security Building. We also went to the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke house. It was peaceful there were no arrest and no physical confrontation. This trip has influenced me to push harder to make a change in Gary.
