I am a member of the NAN and I support Al Sharpton, however I feel that the larger organizations have the duty to support smaller ones, to help them have louder voices, and more seats at the few available tables. The larger organizations should never step in for a smaller one unless such is requested. We need unity, not division. Unity does not mean that we are all parroting exactly the same thing. There is strength in pursuing what are common goals from multiple directions.
Thank you for the boycott of Target. Please keep up the great work. We all need it.
