Governor Murphy:
Where is the plan to vaccinate our educators?
I write this on behalf of the thousands of New Jersey educators who are frustrated by the lack of access to
the COVID vaccine.
On March 1, Governor Murphy stated that educators are eligible for the COVID vaccine and a plan is
forthcoming. On March 2, President Biden set the goal of vaccinating all educators by March 31. It is now
March 15, and no plan has been shared and thousands of educators see no pathway to receiving a vaccine.
If the goal is for all educators to receive a vaccine by March 31, why hasn’t a plan been shared so we can
prepare?
As a school superintendent who is responsible for thousands of students and hundreds of staff members, I
can assure you that we have no vested interest in continuing with the status quo. We want to return to
normal and vaccinating our educators is the pathway to a return to normal this school year.
Rather than planning for our students and staff to potentially return to school, in the absence of a vaccination
plan, what is occurring is a veritable “Hunger Games” between school districts as they strive to get staff
vaccinated. School districts are being pitted against one another, spending time trying to form
“partnerships” with local hospitals, pharmacies, or medical professionals to vaccinate their staff. This is
exacerbating equity issues that unfortunately have already tainted this vaccine rollout.
While lack of vaccines is often cited as the cause, it is important to note that vaccines are available for
many educators. Some are being vaccinated through the aforementioned partnerships. In some districts,
parents are assisting staff members to procure appointments, often waking up at 4:00AM to find
appointments for educators. Teachers are traveling hours, sometimes taking personal days, to receive
vaccines that they hopefully expected to receive via some kind or organized state plan.
For those of us who listened to the State, we are standing by helpless, while those around us procure
vaccines from various sources. Please provide us a strategic and systematic plan to vaccinate our educators.
After an entire year of challenge and upheaval, our teachers want nothing more than to be vaccinated. With
Spring Break on the horizon, now is the time to implement an aggressive program to accelerate educator
vaccination so we can plan for the return of our students. They deserve a clear, quick implementation of
what was promised to them.

Why didn't Trenton Police Show Up?
Why didn't Trenton Police Show Up?

At long last Trenton's Finest finally made an appearance in the city of Trenton. They didn't take a back seat to State Police and other municipal police departments, they simply were not there for Trenton's citizens. Where were they? They know Trenton and her citizens better than anybody else. Why weren't they in the forefront? The Mayor and Police Director have questions to answer. Interviews with some of Trenton's really great young people.

Two Banks go down, while police look on
Two Banks go down, while police look on

They continue to destroy property with no police challenge. They may have served this night but they certainly did not protect. Most of this destruction was avoidable. In this video they actually take down two banks. It's amazing that with hundreds of police just feet away that this much chaos was allowed to go on. The police did not have to harm or arrest anyone, all they had to do was move a few men down the street and all of this could have been avoided.

The Police finally make a move
The Police finally make a move

The police finally move in. After watching the destruction at the Roebling building from about 75 ft away. Why they just stood there and allowed this to happen is questionable. At its heights there were no more than 40 protesters. Whenever there was any police presence the protesters moved on and dispersed. So why they allowed destruction of property to go on is a mystery. There is still no sight of Trenton's police.

Things are heating up
Things are heating up

The police State and Warren watched as windows are broken at the Roebling building. The police finally moved to stop the destruction. In just a few minutes both banks on W State will be broken into and ramsacked. Then inside the PSEG building a fire is started. All this while the police just laid back and let it all happen. Our next video will show that destruction.

Armored Vehicle At Trenton Protest
Armored Vehicle At Trenton Protest

There were virtually no Trenton police downtown tonight. Most of the police were State Police. There was a contingent from Bucks County which came with an armored vehicle. Ewing and Lawrence police made a presence but very few Trenton Police were downtown. Just about all the police were white. It was unbelievable so few police were men of color

10 Policy Recommendations to Temper the Impact of the Coronavirus on Communities of Color 1.

We, I, ask that all pray for traveling mercies for the 250 + African Americans in flight to the Jamestown section of Accra Ghana. My Son, Diallo Sumbry, referred to it as the “Soul Plane” and added that hot sauce was mandatory lol I’m giving a special shoutout to the National NAACP, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated and personally most important to me the Adinkra Group (which my Son is the founder and CEO of). Jamestown2Jamestown, in my opinion, is the most “Mass African Diaspora International Interaction with the Continent of African” since the beginning of our “Maafa”(google it)❤️🖤💚 More than one week will be spent in Ghana networking, establishing long term relationships, touring and most importantly making spiritual connections with our Ancestors and people. Mr. Derrick Johnson, National President of the NAACP, OKOMFO (Priest) Diallo Sumbry and the ABSOLUTE most visionary President at this time on the entire CONTINENT OF AFRICA, Nana Akufo-Addo the WORLD owes you all its gratitude and respect. GOD AND THE ANCESTORS ARE SURELY PLEASED🙏🏿💯🙏🏿🧠
