When taxes are too high, people go hungry.
When the government is to intrusive, people lose their spirit.

Act for the people’s benefit.
Trust them; leave them alone.

I love how innovative we humans are!!

This could be a great tool to use for building homes for our Economic Refugees (aka Homeless).

We could set up a plastic pickup vehicle to gather the material and then processed it at a loach site.

This creates jobs, training, homes, a path for our Refugees to rejoin society.

This is one system we can create!

Yet, before we get started, we have to get organized.

If you live in District 2 of Oakland, CA, contact me.
Let’s sign you up & start exploring what we can accomplish together.

If you live anywhere else, and you’d like to support a possible way we can organize ourselves to better support our common interests, DONATE!

Currently accepting donations via my personal account: Venmo -Yazid

MAKE SURE TO PUT “NRG” or “NEIGHBORHOOD RESOURCE GROUP” IN THE DESCRIPTION
&
I WILL POST ALL DONATIONS WITHIN 24hrs ON THIS PAGE!

Furthermore, I will post a Budget Summary on Sundays, on a bi-weekly schedule.

(Working out some details to open a new NRG account.)

“Think as a Global Citizen

Act as a fellow Local Citizen”
- Someone

Sounds all stoic… but it’s so broad there’s huge room for wiggling. So, let dig a little…

What does it actually mean to be a Local Citizen?

Does it mean using all your time just to maintain what you have? aka Working to Survive

Do you know the powers your land’s government supports?

Do you know your neighbors?

What’s more important to your daily life:
~ The National Federal Government?
~ Your City, County, & State Government?

Also, what would a Global Citizen look like?

Would they curious of their siblings & cousins?

Would they say one part of Their planet is better than another?

Would they cast out whole groups of cousins because they lost the record of how they’re related?

What would the ideals of this Global Citizen’s daily life look like?

How would they consider others circumstances?

What would they THINK toward others?

What would they then SAY toward others?

And how would they ACT toward others?

Would the focus of business be to consolidate the common wealth for personal gain?

Or maybe, would they support Common Life Systems in order to raise the Common daily experience for all?

Would a Global Citizen build a home and become part of the culture?

Or would they jump from place to place sampling cultures but never integrating, always separate?

Would a Global Citizen be confined to only their Local area?

These are just some of the questions inspired by this concept.

How do you feel about these questions?

Does this post inspire questions of your own?

District 2, Oakland, California

10/17/2022

However, WE must also Consider…

KEY🔑Words:
- However:
used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously.
(Aka A consideration tool)

- We:
Everybody (including you… especially if you live in District 2 of Oakland, CA)

- Consider:
think carefully about (something)

How good would it FEEL if we Considered what the people we engage with everyday (known & unknown) & they did the same for you?

Yet, in order to truly Consider what another is going through, We must First, find out the details.

In this way, We the NRG (currently just me, Lisimba C.J. Yazid), will begin this venture. This social experiment of a business.
(If you’d like to help, let me know ,-)

We start by finding out WHO is District 2 of Oakland, CA?

Starting this week, I (& whoever joins me) will be canvassing the 19 Neighborhoods of District 2 in order to meet and ask for participation from the roughly 64,517 residents (aka National Monarchs).

What kind of participation are we talking about? One might ask.

- Confirming that you are indeed a District 2 resident or work within its borders
- Sharing what hobbies and expertise you have earned through your life’s experiences.
- Let us know if you have a nickname you prefer or other distinctions you’d like acknowledged when we (NRG) engage with you.

Ya know, simple stuff. Before any real work can be done, we must first establish who we’re working with and what’s their circumstances.

Key🔑word:
- Circumstances:
a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action.
Aka
How everything is related to everything else
Aka
Details

Our First Benchmark:
-Gain Participation from 100-200 Members from each of District 2’s 19 Neighborhoods. (Roughly, 1900-2800 National Monarchs. Which is about ~3% of the District population.)

Why is this important for the NRG? One might ask.

In order to apply for our IRS Tax-deductible status, a key aspect of our strategy to better serve the community, we need to form a Board of Directors, the bylaws (company policies), and formally Incorporate (apply) with the State of California (via the Secretary of State).

At the heart of this social experiment, The NRG, is the belief that people are trustworthy.

Granted, with harsh & extreme circumstances, we end up with people who act in harsh & extreme ways.

Do we blame the people who are reacting to their extreme circumstances?

Or do we, maybe, work together to figure out local systems to address and balance those circumstances?

I vote for the later!

And I’d like everyone participating to have their vote to. 1 for 1. No politics. Just learning about the circumstances at hand. Then, working with those who are affected by the state of these circumstances to find considerate solutions.

So, with ~3% of the population of District 2, we will hold our Founding Major Event:

The Board of Directors Competency Challenge

Where members from the 6 regions will compete through a variety of challenges so we, the Members of District 2 NRG, can assess and vote on who we want to represent us on the board.
(And of course this will all be LIVE Streamed.)

Also, while we are canvassing, we will be surveying our members to find out how we can structure our bylaws to be intuitive and hold people accountable for themselves & their actions. Without Accountability, any system is guaranteed to have corruption.

Key🔑words:
-Accountability:
the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility.

- Responsibility:
the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone.
Aka
Dealing with the consequences of their Actions

- Consequences:
result or effect of an action or condition.
Aka
What’s leftover after an Action, in all it’s forms

-Corruption:
dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

With that we have the Board, we get Incorporated, get our IRS Non-profit Status… and then we can finally get the real work started!!!

I, Lisimba C.J. Yazid, strive to create this economic vessel, The NRG, to be responsible to & operated by the National Monarchs of the 2nd District of Oakland, CA. Of which, I am.

Won’t you join me?
