902 Man Up

Let’s not criticize our Black Youth for trying to bring a city, Province, country together in solidarity. They are not out there burning down HRM and still need our guidance and support. Let’s not contribute to the farther traumatized long term harm that has already plagued our Black youth and communities such as Police Brutality, Economic Denial, Education and many more. These are things that white communities take for granted, while we continue to fight for these things a...nd die for them. It is up to us to lead our youth in such away that they understand the struggles that blacks across the country have endured. We can only do this by supporting our youth and making them aware of who’s shoulders they stand on and never forget that feeling of pain. I Am Very Proud Of Our Young People For Their Efforts. If you ain’t man enough to stand up for our young people then stand in the back and allow our youth to rise up.

All of us need to take this OATH and share it with friends, family and strangers. When you commit a violent act against your brother, you are assisting those who do harm to us simply because of the colour of our skin.

What is it going to take to bring change? Why do we need to keep dying at the hands of the very ones who are supposed to protect us? When will the rest of society recognize that we as black men and women are being murdered.

902 ManUp would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We look forward to continuing to make a difference in our community by working with and for all our Black NS communities in 2020 by keeping it Real.

902 ManUp would like to thank the Dalhousie Black Law Student Association for allowing a partnership and making sure that families who deal with incarceration and being away from their loved ones are remembered and have the means to provide for their children at Christmas time. This was a great initiative and we are pleased to be a part of it.

902 ManUp was very pleased to have received this award from Human Rights today.
