🎆 BLACK MEN UNITED IS FIRED UP & READY TO GO! 🎆
Two back-to-back events. One powerful purpose.
Because community is our cause — and impact is our spark!

This 4th of July, while the fireworks light up the sky, Black Men United is igniting hope on the ground! In collaboration with Pastor Lafayette McGary, Reaching Out Ministries C.O.G.I.C, 28th Ward Alderman Jason Ervin, and 5th District State Senator Lakesia Collins, we’re celebrating true freedom with a FREE FOOD GIVEAWAY — because independence means making sure no one is left behind.

We’re not just handing out food — we’re serving love, unity, and dignity with fresh fruits, vegetables, and nourishment for every neighbor in need.

📍 703 S. California Ave, Chicago, IL 60612 (Basketball Court)
🕑 Thursday, July 4th
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
🎁 First come, first served — while supplies last

From fireworks to food giveaways, we stay lit for the people.
Black Men United is on fire for the community — and we’re just getting started. 💥🔥🇺🇸

Why I Am Not Suspending My Campaign
Let me be clear: Despite the immense pressures and intense assaults on my campaign and character, I intend to hold the torch and finish this race - to and after November 5th! The escalating corruption of the US political system and the increasing civic rot of the American Empire requires a strong prophetic witness to Truth, Justice, and Love. The treacherous rules of this corporate-dominated, money-driven, greed-laden game can only lead to a full-blown fascism in the near future. The militaristic abandonment of morality - be it enabling barbaric genocide in Gaza or lethal Cop Cities throughout America - can only lead to World War III or Civil War II. With crude strategists at full tilt in the Republican, Democratic, and Green Parties, only a moral awakening, spiritual renaissance, and social revolution can turn us around! Yet I refuse to demonize those who deeply disagree with me. Although neither Harris nor Trump give a damn about nearly 20,000 precious Palestinian children slaughtered in less than a year or priceless US children (disproportionately Black) living in abject poverty, I do acknowledge that an anti-Trump vote for Harris is not identical to an anti-Harris vote for Trump in the swing states. Hard-won reproductive freedoms for women, the fragile peaceful transfer of power, and waning civil liberties for future grassroots organizing matter. So I take my castigated prophetic stand and invite others to think for themselves and come down where they may! Yet do not be deceived: The American empire dies every day it refuses to confront the militarism, racism, poverty, and materialism that is devouring what is left of its whimpering soul!
