THE 14 POINTS

  1. All Children Need High Quality, Well Funded, Diverse Schools. NC must meet its Constitution's requirement of adequate and diverse schools by fully funding Leandro with transparent accountability and creating special leadership teams in its failing schools.
  2. Livable Wages and Support for Low Income People. NC ought to provide livable wages, make sure no person goes hungry and that everyone in need has affordable, accessible childcare.
  3. Health Care for All. NC ought to provide its people with health insurance and prescription drugs, while funding public health programs to treat social diseases that plague Black and poor communities including HIV/AIDS, diseases caused by environmental pollution and warming, drugs, domestic violence, mental illness, diabetes, and obesity.
  4. Redress Two Ugly Chapters in N. C.'s Racist History: The overthrow of the bi-racial 1898 Wilmington Government and the sterilization of poor, mainly Black, women from 1947-1977. NC must implement its 1898 Wilmington Riot Commission recommendations and pay damages to the poor women it forcibly sterilized.
  5. Lift Every HBCU. NC must financially support our Historically Black Colleges and Universities to develop equitable infrastructure and programs with doctoral-level leadership for today's challenges.
  6. Document and Redress 200 years of State Discrimination in Hiring and Contracting. NC must commission historical documentation of its contracting practices with racial minorities to justify constitutional redress.
  7. Provide Affordable Housing and Stop Consumer Abuse. NC must provide an Affordable Housing Trust Fund for low-income renters, vouchers for wounded veterans who can not find accessible housing, meaningful tax breaks for seniors forced out of their homes, and protection against predatory lending and foreclosures.
  8. Put Young People to Work to Save the Environment and Fight for Environmental Justice. NC must establish an Environmental Job Corps for young people who did not graduate from high school to re-engage them in public service. NC must fight all forms of environmental injustice.
  9. Collective Bargaining for Public Employees and Support Smithfield Workers Right to Unionize. NC must support the right of Smithfield workers in Tar Heel to form a union and work in a safe environment, and support collective bargaining for public employees.
  10. Protect the Rights of Immigrants from Latin America and other Nations. NC must provide immigrants with health care, education, workers rights and protection from discrimination.
  11. Bring Our Troops Home from Iraq Now. NC cannot address injustice at home while we wage an unjust war abroad.

The third annual HKONJ3 (Historic Thousands on Jones Street Peoples Assembly took place on February 14, 2009. More than 70 organizations, with leadership from the N.C. State Conference of the NAACP, brought thousands to Jones Street to reclaim the “People’s House” and press for progressive changes in the way state government does business. More several thousands gathered at the Historic Chavis Heights Park on Martin Luther King Street in Raleigh and walked in solidarity to the legislative building on Jones Street. The HKonJ Agenda includes 14 points. The 14 points serve as a framework that we believe on which can be built a more just and equitable North Carolina. This website was designed as a tool to encourage dialogue and foster action. We hope that this site will serve as your resource about the progress we are making together to advance our agenda.
