The Revolution Will Not Be Televised...but you might find it on the internet

For clarification: The grassroots call to action is not a SunConjunctVenus sponsored event, and is not affiliated with the production of "A Nation of Gods". We have posted this as a means of support and an avenue for action for our brothers and sisters at THE TALKING DRUM and "Hands Off Assata"!!! For information on this call to action please contact The Talking Drum collective directly...

Who is The Talking Drum Collective?
The Talking Drum Collective is a collective of organizers and website owners who have came together in the spirit Unity for the upliftment of Afrikan People. Over the years we have become the premier Afrikan informational websites. Some of the more popular websites include: TheTalkingDrum.Com (The Talking Drum); AssataShakur.Org, which is currently engaged in the Hands Off Assata Campaign; and Afrikan.Net, who constantly updates mailing list with information about Political Prisoners and other issues. Though these sites are the most popular all of the collective sites are notable. Why the talking drum symbol? During the 1800's the talking drum was banned throughout most of the western hemisphere, for fear of unregulated communication amongst Afrikan People and for fear of coordinated rebellions, due to its ability to communicate with Our People in code and great distances. In the spirit of the talking drum we communicate to Our People information, pride, and hope. The collective is used to create a United Front for Our People to effectively fight as one.
