Every Black skin ain't kin.

If you stand for Black power, you must draw the line.

There is no future in dragging dead weight.

We cannot build empires with those who worship our enemies, mock our struggle, or sell out our future.

Separate. Strategize. Mobilize.

Garvey said it plain: "Up, you mighty race — accomplish what you will!"

That means cutting off the cowardly, the comfortable, and the compromised.

We’re not here to convince—

We’re here to conquer.

Race First. Nation Always.

Amazon, Verizon, and other major corporations have ended or reduced their support for Juneteenth celebrations this year, forcing events in major cities to be significantly scaled back, a Popular Information investigation reveals.

In Denver, the annual Juneteenth Music Festival was cut from two days to one day due to "a sharp decline in corporate sponsorships," the Denver Post reported. The organizers of Denver's celebration "declined to share the list of 2024 sponsors who are not returning for 2025" with the Denver Post.

But an archived version of the festival website reveals that Verizon, a "Silver" sponsor of the 2024 event, was not listed as a sponsor this year.

Last month, Verizon told Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr that the company was "ending its DEI-related policies…effective immediately." It was part of Verizon's effort to win approval from the FCC to acquire Frontier Communications, a broadband technology company, for $20 billion. Among other things, Verizon agreed to end "workforce diversity goals" and remove its "'Diversity and Inclusion' website." The gambit appears to have worked. The day after Verizon sent the letter, the FCC approved the merger. In a release, the FCC said its approval of the acquisition "Ensures that Discriminatory DEI Policies End."

Verizon also ended its financial support for the Juneteenth In The Streets Festival in Santa Clara County, California, according to an archived version of the festival's website.....
