The Riverside Crescendo Outreach Letter

The Riverside Crescendo Proposal

A Symphony is one of the most complex yet creative inventions of mankind. It brings many different talents and abilities together in order to create something gentle yet magical, a song of instruments with valleys and peaks, twist and turns blended into a sound that is now world renowned as classical music. 

Try envisioning all of the years of practice, study, discipline and comprehensive cohesion necessary to create a symphony. It's a lot of work and if you tried to measure all of that energy and effort spent throughout mankind's existence, I'd doubt few other activities would be able to equate such a timeless dedication and discipline.

Now imagine being able to see humanities struggle for Freedom, Justice and Equality through that same lens? The rise and fall of empires, the crescendo of the idea that we as humans have rights that are to be respected, the vortex of emotions as kingdoms became republics and sayings such as "Eat The Rich" "I Have a Dream" and "By Any Means Necessary" echoed around the world to become the proverbs of a new world and a new form of human existence? Can you hear the moment Sí, Se Puede became Yes We Can and the symphony changed again? Forever. Do you think our Ancestors heard it? 

That Fight for Human Rights, that Riverside Symphony of Liberty and Justice For All; All Over the World is the cause we're dedicated to bringing to it's Crescendo. Liberty and Justice For All, All Over The World. that's it, that's the note we're stuck on and The foundation of The Riverside Crescendo we're asking you to be apart of.  

Being that we are an organization designed to empower, unite and uplift the people, we are a community driven organization focused on creating community owned and controlled assets that promote and protect human rights while providing important resources to the people at large.

Through our Riverside Political Action Committee we are raising the funds necessary to build our first intentional community in the state of Georgia. This Intentional Community will serve as both; the foundation of our political headquarters and a blueprint for future community initiatives and real estate development ideas that empower the people instead of exploiting them. At The Riverside Symphony we believe the only way forward for We The People is through creating and organizing ownership opportunities of enrichment, solidarity, freedom, justice and equality for everyone who's willing to accept the fact that rights come with responsibilities and if we would like to live in a better world, it's our responsibility to bring that world into existence.

We do this by literally starting to build our own communities, cooperatives/ employee and community owned businesses, political agenda and bank. We start training more members of our community to become the craftsman of tomorrow, we teach our children how to become community leaders and organizers, we invest in our community by investing in the people of our community while making sure our environment is a reflection of our values and principles while providing a safeguard against ignorance, exploitation and oppression. 

What if what they call the political minority classes of the United States of America, joined together and instead of looking to everyone else, we decided to became the solutions we need. 

In America, most of our major cities across the land are dying due to the mismanagement of valuable resources such as land development, affordable housing, adequate employment opportunities and a lack of true assistance for those in need of help. For far too long we've tried to make our problems as a society, fit into the preconceived notions of playing the hand you were delt, but few will acknowledge or admit the levels of which the deck has been stacked against We The People collectively and individually as corporate America seeks record breaking profits, year after year, that basically just continues to make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer. 

In order to effectively address this issue, we must do 5 things simultaneously, 

Take responsibility for our ownership stake in the American Government as American Citizens.

Build relationships of solidarity founded upon the fact that all aspects of the struggle are tied to the fight for our human rights to be respected and protected at all times 

Focus on holding our elected officials accountable to the people who put them in office, rather than lobbyist and special interest groups who's interest aren't aligned with liberty and justice for all; all over the world.

Create a form of for profit philanthropy that provides more opportunities, justice and community owned resources than does the typical charitable foundation or non profit. 

Participate in building a better America and World by investing in the future of We The People. 

The Riverside Political Action Committee wishes to perfect the process of creating economically abundant and socially free and just communities through our investments in the Riverside Symphony and the Crescendo there in. These investments will include but are not limited to.

Creating our own social media network with a crowdfunding plugin for community initiatives. This platform will be designed with freedom of speech and privacy protections in place for all users and though it will be a community owned and controlled business, it will be free for everyone around the world.

Creating our own social and educational program focused on strengthening, educating and uplifting the youth from all walks of life while equipping them with skills and the tools necessary to be truely successful and fulfilled in this life. The primary focus of this program will be the youth from the ages of 5 to 25 and include an accredited Online Schooling Program for the youth as well.

Creating a cultural creative initiative that allows the community to invest in and dictate through their investments what works of art we would like to support, see and/or commission from the artist available within our communities. This will also have an artistic development aspect to it that assist artist in perfecting their craft.

Creating an initiative designed to assist the people in getting their paperwork together for things like ballot initiatives, business plans, grant writing etc.

Creating Agriculture and Climate Change courses that will encourage more community gardens, organic food and healthy water and air as well as investments into clean and renewable energy.

Creating Audiobooks for our ancestors' texts, stories, histories and heritage.

In addition to those initiatives, through our land development efforts we will be able to provide affordable and spacious housing, with our lot sizes varying from 2 to acers a piece. We will also be able to provide our own private schooling and daycare facilities, as well as parks, shopping centers, gyms, malls, and other forms of recreation within Our Communities. 

We will also build a Velvet Touch Communications Hub and an Earner's Keep. The Velvet Touch Communications Hub will be used primarily to disseminate valuable information to our members and provide a myriad of professional services for our members that covers everything from small business planning, to taxes, estate planning and more. This is also where we will train community members to help broaden our outreach efforts and uplift even more of the down trodden in our community and surrounding areas.

Our Earner's Keep will be the transformational power within our communities and owned by our communities. Within one side will be homeless shelters for men, women and families, respectfully. Each facility should be able to hold at least 27% of the surrounding unhoused population and provide on-site services such as meals, bathing, limited storage space and laundry. Residents on this side will have at least 6 months to get back on their feet and into permanent housing provided they meet with a case manager once a month and participate in facility chores. 

On the other side of the Earner's Keep will be an apartment complex that is used to provide housing to those willing to work for the community owned cooperative businesses in it's territory. These businesses will all be voted upon by the community members and used to create well paying jobs and housing for the poverty stricken that make their way to the Earner's Keep. 

Apartment's will be 1 to 3 bedrooms and assigned to Earners on a 2 year basis after completing a 90 day probationary period while living on the shelter side. The 2 year lease will charge 10% of their income for housing and benefits, but the money will primarily be reinvested into building Earner's Keeps in other communities that need them, which will only strengthen our outreach efforts. Once an Earner's 2 year lease is up they will be able to buy a lot in one of our communities with a 20% Earner's discount. 

This means that not only will we be combating homelessness and poverty through our 6 month sheltering program, but we will also be providing opportunities of adequate employment and ownership opportunities to the people who need it most, all while revitalizing the communities around us and creating an immaculate sustainable form of group economics that is able to meet the needs of all of our members.

The Riverside Political Action Committee is currently raising funds to establish our 1st intentional community in the state of Georgia through our GoFundMe Campaign. This money will first be used to acquire a storefront that can serve as our organizing and training facility while we go about building up our core staff and drafting the necessary paperwork and blueprints for all of us to be successful and then we will begin doing our membership drive.

If you'd like to support our effort of bringing liberty and justice to all; all over the world please do so here and if you'd like to offer assistance to me personally as I get this ball rolling, please do so using my cash app link here. I am currently homeless as I relocated from Seattle to Atlanta to establish this community project in a community I believe it will be able to flourish in. Unfortunately in most Atlanta Homeless Shelters they have programs you have join that take 6 months on average before you can start working and earning a living to take of yourself. Therefore I am currently working on securing food, clothing and shelter for myself while working on this initiative. Once I raise about $2,500 personally I will be able to put myself into a position that allows me to take this initiative to the next level. Be that as it may, any personal assistance you may be able to offer will be greatly appreciated.
