What Lies Ahead
The work of the Chesimard/Shakur Draft Program for a Black Nation-State is not a new concept, but it is novel in one respect.
For the next 740 days, Black people in America's settler state are invited to collectively create a model for a majority Black-led, multi-racial nation-state.
The Black Commons is being asked to define the principles and set the guideposts to develop the character of a consciously designed society to eliminate heteropatriarchal dominated state --something never acheived in human history.
New Black Nationalists are confident that the expertise, knowledge base, organizational skills, legacy of the Black experience and will to win exists to forge a flourishing new civilizational space.
This process is committed to gathering in one document the collective genius and loftiest aspirations of the Black Commons.
Over the next fifteen months, we must identify the most forward-leaning thinking in the ten designated areas of public policy, and then align them into a coherent plan.
Even so, the best policies will only be as good as the government charged with carrying them out.
Thus, we must shape a government that matches the moment, mindful that our new nation will be conceived in crisis, chaos and most likely violence.
The government and its institutions irrespective of its sublime design will only be as good as the people who lead it. And the people who lead the government will only be as good as the virtues and ethics they are imbued with.
There is much to do. No worries, we are up to the task.
The Submissions Process
-There will be two categories of submissions:
- Issues (10 issues)
- Government Branches - Legislative, Executive, and Judicial)
- Government Forms - Parliamentary system, Presidential system, republic, constitutional monarchy,
- Parliamentary forms and alternative structures of government are open to consideration. These submissions and recommendations will post under the "Government" Link in Black.
- Submissions will also be posted on the specified Issue or Government link.
- Two types of Submissions will be posted.
- Contributions: Submissions received by an individual, organization, or party.
- Recommendations: Unsolicited policies, programs, governmental forms and bodies that are not contributions but recommended for consideration.
- On April 2, 2023, the submissions process will close. Over the next 60 days we will winnow the policy submissions and recommendations into Draft Program for a New Black Nation-State.
Ideally the process should conclude with an approval process before the final document is released on July 19, 2023.
