Larry Hamm for United States Senator

Hotep (Peace)!!!

Take notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The streets of New Jersey are buzzing over the breaking news about Larry Hamm possibly running for US Senator. Brother Larry Hamm Hamm, the Afrikan centric Black conscious New Jersey State Chairman of the People’s Organization for Progress and longtime human rights actvist, get’s an early endorsement from me. This Blackman is truly for Black people, Latino people, marginalized people, poor White people, Union workers, Immigrants, Muslims, working class people, and oppressed people!!!!!!!! However, if he is going take a seat in the US Congress as a Senator, it will take some massive organization to seize political power from the power structure in New Jersey and in America.

This means that those of us that will sign on to help Larry, we will be up against big money, Republicans, Democrats, the Democratic machine, the system of racism, White supremacy, Black people connected to the Democratic machine, Black people connected to the Republican Party, elected officials connected to the Democratic machine, Black people protective of the power structure, people in general connected to the power structure, and the power structure itself.

Larry Hamm is a veteran community activist, community organizer, and community leader. Although he is based in Newark, NJ, his experienced leadership stretches across the United States of America. However, If anyone will protect the interests of everyday people in America, it will be Larry Adhimu Chunga Hamm. Adhimu Chunga is the Afrikan name given to brother Larry in early 1970s from Newark, NJ’s great and legendary Black power leader Imamu Amiri Baraka.

Larry Hamm has been a relentless advocate for Afrikan-American people and the cause of human rights for more than 30 years. Raised in Newark New Jersey, he attended public schools and emerged at age 17 as a forceful and articulate spokesperson for the educational needs and aspirations of Newark students and the community. He was appointed to the Newark Board of Education, making him the youngest school board member in the United States. While at Princeton University (Larry received his Bachelor's degree there in 1978) Larry distinguished himself during the anti-apartheid movement by organizing student protests and calling attention to Princeton's financial investment in apartheid South Africa. These protests, and the rising tide of public indignation, resulted in Princeton University's divestment in the apartheid South African economy. Larry Hamm's impact as a student activist at Princeton is chronicled in the documentary film, "Blacks at Princeton." After graduation, Hamm returned to Newark and became active in local politics. He served as district leader and president of the 24th District Assembly. Larry was the founder and director of the People's Energy Cooperative, a community fuel oil cooperative. He served as the Director of the Community Organization Program for the United Church of Christ Commission For Racial Justice. During 1986, Larry traveled with the Reverend Ben Chavis throughout the deep south to retrace the route of the 1960's Freedom Rides. Chavis, Hamm and busloads of activists conducted voter registration drives in Alabama. Larry helped organize the People's Organization For Progress (POP), an independent, grass roots, political organization that is active in the Newark and northern New Jersey area. As chairman, Larry has consistently worked toward building unity among community organizations. The struggle for quality education, employment opportunities, access to health care and against racial profiling, and police brutality continues through the efforts of its Chairman, Larry Hamm, and the activism of the organization's members. Larry was received many awards, among them are "One Of The Most Influential Blacks in New Jersey Award" (City News) and "The Hope Shapiro Bread and Roses Peace Award" (New Jersey Peace Action).

Larry Hamm, the progressive leader for the last five decades, will challenge Cory Booker in the 2020 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

Booker, who is campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president, has not yet announced if he will seek re-election.

If you are interested in supporting or volunteering for this effort I invite you to attend a meeting to discuss his campaign this Sunday, December 22nd, 3pm at REFAL, 271 So. 9th St in Newark, NJ. (Corner of So. 9th St. & 13th Av.) So. 9th St. & 13th Av.).
