    National Action Network’s annual convention will take place April 3-6 at the Times Square Sheraton in New York City. It will provide an opportunity to revisit the current state of the national civil rights movement in America.

    No Justice, No Peace: National Action Network is one of the leading civil rights organizations in the Nation with chapters throughout the entire United States. Founded in 1991 by Reverend Al Sharpton, NAN works within the spirit and tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunities for all people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, criminal record, economic status, gender, gender expression, or sexuality.

    Criminal Justice Reform: The right to equal justice under the law should not be conditional or based upon a person’s color or economic status. Over the last two decades NAN has been in the vanguard of the movement to bring such equality to every community that has been unfairly treated.

    There were Women’s Luncheon’s, Ministers Luncheons, fashion Shows, Gospel concerts and much more.

    We at World Liberty TV , made our 7th Appearance at the National Action Network’s Conference and have to say it gets bigger and better every year, see more about National Action Network’s Conference in our World Liberty TV African-American Channels and Blogs by Clicking here.

    The new waves of outrage follow the U.S. Justice Department’s decision this week to not file civil rights charges against New York City Police officer Daniel Pantaleo, who put Garner in the chokehold that city officials say cost the Staten Island man his life.

    It is outrageous that I have had to be fighting for five years to get the Mayor to do his job to make sure that there is accountability when the NYPD murders our children,” Carr said. “The Mayor has been dragging his heels and obstructing accountability at every turn for the past five years.”

    “Actions speak louder than words and so far I still haven’t seen action,” she later added. “I want to see action and will not stop fighting for my son until Pantaleo and all the other officers who did wrong are fired.”

    Close to 500 Hundred Protesters were at the Rally at Gracie Mansion, close to 5 people were arrested, more protests and rallies are planned including one in Washington DC, in the coming days.
