PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION
SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMISSION
·
The struggle for Social Justice is essential to
the core identity of the Progressive National Baptist Convention. The DC
Declaration of October 9, 2018, is the theological foundation of our
orientation to the struggle for social justice.
·
The Social Justice Commission recognizes the
intersection between culture and the economy in the nexus of forces that
constitute black oppression.
·
The Social Justice Commission, in coordination
with the National Congress of Black Women, Inc., is encouraging that all PNBC (and
her affiliates) withdraw their support from radio stations and their corporate
sponsors who further and promote, through their music, self-hatred, violence,
criminality, devaluation of life and degradation of black women.
·
The Social Justice Commission recognizes that
the on-going rash of police killings of unarmed black people is the
manifestation of the systemic evil and a reflection of the deep-rooted presence
of toxic racism.
·
The Social Justice Commission calls upon all
people of good will to join us in a full and complete divestment from Wells
Fargo and/or any of its subsidiaries due to the symbolic and practical relation
they have to systemic, corrupt (even demonic), corporate exploitation of the
poor and vulnerable citizenship.
