What we do:
We unite individuals, provide valuable resources, and serve as a facilitator for accessing these resources. Our organization fosters a sense of community and assists in overcoming proximity challenges.
The annual Flora avenue playground picnic was held on July 9th 2022 on 88th and St. Clair at the Sam Miller park. This picnic was a community event to illuminate the Audacity of Hope. Celebrating the courage of the residents around this playground who stopped the bad influences from taking over this recreational center. This playground, like so many others playgrounds has become the target for unsavory adult predators who hunt our children, the babies, the most vulnerable human beings in our society to ravage, abuse and murder. Our story is how senior citizens, women and children, and a few good men fought to keep out national and organized crime gangs, drug dealers, rapist, human traffickers and pedophiles from this playground and secured this area as a safe zone of which it presently remains. In Glenville, 103rd and St. Clair…..the Urban challenge. Poverty, illiteracy, social trauma, political puppetry, spiritual ignorance, ethical confusion and cultural deprivation. In some cities it’s called the….. bottoms. (It must be mentioned the Mayor at that time Michael R. White and Councilman Bill Patmon were instrumental in the physical transition of the playground that cemented its preservation.)
This event is special this year, In the shadow of Uvalde. Texas we pay tribute to those who were not protected by their community. Not to blame the community because they could not have on this day at this time known this person’s intention. But if proper infrastructure was in place this would not of been the headline. In the wake of this catastrophe we don’t just cry, we exemplify, the cure. Today, we start Streetclubs USA in the Glenville neighborhood. A grassroots Civic Infrastructure institution To show, by example, solves their proximity problems and protects the residents families. Done with limited resources, limited political influence, limited funding, limited civil civic assistants, limited police interference. Just a large number of community minded residents willing to work together under a program of self-sufficiency, self responsibility and self dependency to solve our street’s problems. Just willing to take back our streets strategically. No Fluff.
The streets, where all these tragedies begin. We believe, if their was a program like this in Texas an individual with these type of discrepancies on their record, accompanied with actual eyes on reports, someone on his street would have been assigned to watch him. And report his activities to their street club captain. That captain would watch him and report any strange activity to the IMASTAR software system that distributes alert with acceptancy/discrepancy reports through their civic infrastructure institution to all related registered special interest groups in the community (churches, schools, nonprofits, and politicians) and charged them to intervene in the distress of this individual. Rooting out the core problem and targeting the influences of this person to purge from his surroundings.
Then meet and discuss this individual and properly intervene with his family and friends to rehabilitate his behavior with the promise of support and discipline to gut the source of his problem and monitor him until he becomes a solid citizen and street club member. Now we can’t save everyone but we can save our children. We know this can be done because we have done it before. We took those same men and women who had perpetuated violence and corruption in our playground and through this intervention process, turned them into mentors for the children, monitors for our streets and in some cases incarceration. We don’t just cry about the problem we magnify the solution.
