WHAT WE DO

AAPCI Mission

The African American Planning Commission (AAPCI) Inc., is a New York City-based 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization committed to addressing issues that often lead to homelessness, such as: domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, shortage of affordable housing, and unemployment, within the communities in which we live and serve.



Learn more about AAPCI at: http://www.aapci.org.

AAPCI Strategy

The African American Planning Commission's strategy is to develop both transitional and affordable permanent housing that integrates comprehensive social support and employment services within a supportive community to ensure that individuals and families remain stable, are safely housed, stay independent and maintain their employment status.

    * Less than 50% of Africa’s population has access to hospitals or doctors.
    * In 2000, 300 million Africans did not have access to safe water.
    * The average life expectancy in Africa is 41 years.
    * Only 57% of African children are enrolled in primary school education, and only one in three children completes school.

Not Just For Professional Writers...

The Kickoff Of The '...INBEAT Poetry Writing Community...'
www.myspace.com/105eastam

We are happy to inform the '...INBEAT Citizenry...' of the commencement of the '...INBEAT Poetry Writing Community...'. We are also happy to introduce your fellow '...Citizen...', Ms. Kat Solomon (http://www.myspace.com/katsolomon), as the overall Coordinator for the Poetry Writing Initiative/s. Ms. Solomon is a Poet in her own rights and is a fun person to work with.

Each Book of Poetry shall be themed-based on some of the present Global Challenges, e.g., Environment, Energy Conservation, Health and Wellness, Hunger, Peace/Wars, Family Well-Being matters such as Child/Spousal Abuse, and etc. The proceeds from the books' shall constitute one of the many envisioned mechanisms for establishing and raising an '...INBEAT Global Fund...' ( Those of you that want to know more about the purposes of this '...Fund...' should read past postings, or, contact Kat or E.N.)

Writers that want to partake in this effort should contact Ms. Solomon. There will be some form of financial compensation for participating writers from Books' sales. The percentage of compensation will be determined in due course by "...The INBEAT Community...' at large.

Cheers!

What is '...INBEAT...'?
Listen ... and Think
'...INBEAT...' (International Beat) Song by ZMMM:
"...People get
 ready..."
http://www.myspace.com/ziggymarley
...................................
Think of '...INBEAT...' as being a '...Global Community...' that belongs to all of its Members... Just like an Internet based United Nations, if you will. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of '...Precisioned Initiatives...' that the Community can execute. Because of the precisioned attributes of the '...Envisioned Initiatives...', they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing "programs". Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming directly from their '...Source Of Origin...'.
Please review the '...INBEAT...'(InternationalBeat) Profile...
Have a great week!
