We will bring to light the innovative strategies and practices that community organizations can employ to empower and build a more secure future for our elders!

Organizations working with the National Neighbors Silver (NNS) program have developed an array of organizing and educational strategies that reduce economic vulnerabilities facing older adults. At this conference NNS grantees, staff, and other national partners will share creative ideas and tools for engaging community-based organizations on how to enhance economic security for their older adult constituents.

BACKGROUNDER

Friends of the African Union

Friends of the African Union is a economic, social, humanitarian, charitable, educational and new media civil-society ruling body founded in 2012.

Mission

Aware of the rich and diverse human and institutional resources at the grassroots level, the new African Union is devoted to building strong partnerships between the governments and all segments of the society.

The impulse is not for the African Union to organize civil society. Rather the organizing principle of the Economic, Social and Cultural Council [ECOSOCC] of the African Union is one in which civil society would organize themselves to work with the Organization.

The Friends of the African Union has taken organization of this civil society in the America's.

On May 25th 2012 further action was taken on creating a global African Union Diaspora Civil Society Alliance with delegates from around the world having voting privileges in the AU's ECOSOCC . The Diaspora as a whole having 20 votes and the blacks in the United States having 4 votes. Friends of the African Union will organize that vote.

FAU History

December 2011 Co-Founders of Friends of the African Union attend meeting in Washington DC called by HE Ali and Dr Horne.Based on that we employed Kujichagulia in the creation of Friends of the African Union as the agent to address the needs to have all of the African Diaspora in America aware of the African Union and its quest to create a 1.4 billion person global market with at least 4 trillion dollars in annualized income.

We where represented by a Senegalese economist and his son.

January 2012 MLK Launch of Friends of African Union [FAU] and signature at the KWANZAA AFRICAN DIASPORA UNITY SUMMIT, JAN. 28, 2012, HOWARD UNIVERSITY where to attend and vote, all organizations had to be

(a) Committed to building the African Union and to contributing to the unification and development of Africa,

FRIENDS OF THE AFRICAN UNION HISTORICAL FOUNDATION AND FACT SHEET
BY: T.C. Adams DATE: February 19, 2013

In 1885, the European nations met at the Berlin Conference to organize themselves and agree on a plan for the forcible acquisition of land, resources and assets of the African continent. This modern colonization of Africa was resisted from the start.

In 1957, Ghana gained its independence from British rule and became the first sovereign African state under modern (post WWII) international law.

On May 25, 1963, thirty-two independent nations joined together to form the Organization of African Unity in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Its goals were to promote the unity and solidarity of African states, co-ordinate and intensify the cooperation of African states, defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of African states, and promote the eradication of colonialism in all forms. 

On July 9, 2002, President Thebo Mbeki of South Africa presided over the disbanding of the Organization of African Unity, and the inauguration of the newly formed African Union, its successor.  In 2003, the African Union (AU) amended its constitution (called the AU Constitutive Act) to formally include persons of African descent, not residing within the continent, as part of the African Union. In Article 3(q) of the AU’s amended Constitution, the AU hereby “…invite(s) and encourage(s) the full participation of the African Diaspora as an important part of our continent, in the building of the African Union.” 

On April 11-12, 2005, the Meeting of Experts on the Definition of the African Diaspora was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The meeting ended with the following definition agreed to by assembly consensus:  “The African Diaspora consists of peoples of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship or nationality and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union.” 

The African Union defines the African continent as being divided into 6 geographical regions—North Africa, South Africa, West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and the Diaspora (Global). The division of the Diaspora into sub-regions is still a work in progress, but at present consists of Canada, United States, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia-Oceania-Asia-Pacific Islands. 

The Diaspora is to be initially included as voting members of the Economic Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) which is one of the 11 permanent commissions of the AU. The Diaspora has been granted 20 seats of a total 150 seats at present. The ECOSOCC was founded as a grouping of 150 community-based organizations or their representatives. Such organizations are referred to as NGOs (Non-governmental Organizations) and civil society organizations in international discourse.  Over time, we believe that the Diaspora can be incorporated into the other functions and institutions of the AU, including the Pan-African Parliament. 

As a result of the broader definition of inclusion by the AU, the African Diaspora within the United States is larger in population size than the racial and ethnic definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau. For example, Spanish language speakers are separated by category from blacks or African Americans in the US Census. However, many Latinos consider themselves black, or Afro-Latino.  Additionally, the US Census designates many Arabs-Muslims as white, indigenous peoples of North Africa. Based on the broader definition of the AU, the estimated African Diaspora population residing within the United States exceeds 60 million people.  

The Friends of the African Union recognizes that there have been three historical mass migrations of African descended peoples to the U.S.  First, there was the Tans-Atlantic Slave Trade referred to as the African Holocaust. From 1619 to 1808 more than 700,000 Africans were forcibly relocated to the U.S.  Second, after the Spanish-American War (1897-1898), the U.S. gained dominance of the Caribbean and much of the South Pacific which ushered in a second wave of immigration from Latin America countries. From the 1880s until 1950s more than 1 million Africans immigrated to the US, mostly from the Caribbean.  Lastly, as a result of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War in Asia, Congress revised America’s immigration policy in 1965 to allow more immigration from the independent states of the continent. The final wave of immigration is continuing and exceeds 1.3 million.

FAU Philly Leader Todd Bristow and Rev. Jesse Jackson 31 Jan 2013 at 16th annual Rainbow PUSH Wall Street Project Economic Summit

Making sure that Black America gets its fair share of wealth as the economy gets back on track is the focus of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's 16th annual Rainbow PUSH Wall Street Project Economic Summit.

About the Wall Street Project


The Wall Street Project was founded in 1996 by Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., and the Citizenship Education Fund, and officially launched by Rev. Jesse Jackson and prominent minority business owners on January 15, 1997, Dr. King’s birthday. The Project is represented by satellite or bureau offices (New York, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, East Palo Alto, Houston and Washington, D.C.), each representing the competency center for one or more of the industry spokes the organization focuses on: financial services, public policy, telecommunications, automotive, energy, advertising, international affairs, food services, insurance, entertainment, manufacturing, and information technology.

The Wall Street Project challenges corporate America to end the multi-billion dollar trade deficit with minority vendors and consumers and works to assure equal opportunity for diverse employees, entrepreneurs, and consumers. The Project uses Operation Breadbasket’s model of research, education and negotiation and reconciliation to achieve its mission to promote inclusion, opportunity and economic growth by encouraging public and private industries to:

• Improve hiring, promotion and retention practices
• Name more minorities to corporate boards
• Allocate more capital to minority companies
• Promote intra-trade relationships among diverse businesses
• Increasefunding for educational scholarships, and voter registration education
• Increase financial literacy in minority and/or underserved communities through the work of the One Thousand Churches Connected program 

Todd told Rev. Jackson about Friends of the African Union and its operating principals.
