Vote NO on Propositions 9 and 6! Taking the lead from our members inside, CCWP is urging people to vote NO on California Propositions 9 and 6 this November 4!

		Maafa Awareness Month Events Organized by CCWP Advisory Board Member Wanda Sabir October is Maafa Awareness Month. Maafa is a Kiswahili term for disaster, calamity or terrible occurrence. This term has been used to describe the European Slave trade or the Black Holocaust. For the past 12 years, this month is a time for the San Francisco Bay Area community to reflect on the legacy of slavery, its economic, political and social impact on the region and nation, and the residual psychological effects on descendants: perpetrators, victims, and beneficiaries. Maafa Awareness Month is a time to look at how Africans or Black people, in particular, can heal from the trauma.
