			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Our June 28, 2008, tribute to Chip in Los Angeles demonstrated our unity and strength and the power of our commitment to free Chip. Our seven-hour event was one of the most significant gatherings of community leaders Los Angeles has seen in a long time. Hosted by KJLH radio host Dominique DiPrima and our event coordinator Sikander Iqbal, the tribute lasted many hours longer than expected because everyone sensed the historic importance of our intergenerational, multi-ethnic assemblage, to resurrect the spirit of the Panther embodied in Chip and launch a new movement for progressive change in this country.</p>
<p>The Committee thanks Ben Caldwell of Kaos Network for providing his beautiful space in Leimert Park; and Paul Hiles of Chef Marilyn&#8217;s for his donation of a wonderful meal for the hundreds who attended the tribute; and Gregory Everett for showing his documentary, 41st & Central; and filmmaker Fatima Washington for filming the entire event. We especially thank hard-working volunteers Eric Lambkins, Stephanie Roberts, Ashley Level, Sade Elhawary, Tiana Braner, Kristoffer Ealy, Nafassi Ferrell, Esme Taylor; committed supporters Matt Hart of the LA-ABCF, LA Brown Berets, A.O.A, Building Communities and Families, UCLA African Men&#8217;s Collective; and the artists who performed at the event, particularly the great poet Ojenke, and Sadiki Bakari.</p>

Ain&#8217;t nobody Crying

<h3>Ain&#8217;t nobody Crying</h3>
<p>I heard that we’ve fallen, So I’m callin fa help<br />
So I turn to the lord, And I see that he’s fallen himself<br />
In this life that we livin<br />
Tell me how are things different<br />
Could I share my perspectives and split light like a prism<br />
Enticin ya vision to liken my mission<br />
NOW YOU ASSUME THE POSITION, DON’T TRY NOTHIN STUPID</center><br />
<span id="more-122"></span><br />
<center>I know what you doin, I’ll have you leakin that fluid<br />
You can put us in chains, you can drag us away<br />
But our spirits shall rise past the day that we die<br />
There’s not a cell that can contain…<br />
Nor bars that constrain…<br />
The products of the pain, produced on the blocks through years of enslavement<br />
Still tastin oppression<br />
Bout to bust from the pressure<br />
The tension is thick with the ghetto in it’s texture<br />
I learned my lessons from my peers<br />
My motivation from my tears<br />
My frustration from my fears<br />
My blood has been laced with venom<br />
So, to hell is where I sent’em<br />
In this land of freedom we live dum fa free<br />
Meanin its at no cost to them but its an arm and a leg to you and me<br />
How many of yall been locked up fa yall beliefs<br />
To preserve the status quo, they bleedin from they gums, they lyin through they teeth<br />
Till change comes runnin, my heart skips a beat<br />
For every time my people stand on they feet<br />
If it ever was a time to rise up<br />
I said the time is now<br />
They say the time is up<br />
Then I don’t get a fuck<br />
Cuz somethins going down, we bout to tear something up<br />
Cuz friends turn to crack sales<br />
Schools transformed into over packed jails<br />
I ask you twice only; FREE CHIP….I SAY YOU BETTER FREE CHIP<br />
38 years is 38 too many, I’ll bust’em out this bitch myself if I cant get yo help<br />
So fuck’em all; these are our blocks, our sisters and brothers, our burdens on our backs<br />
It might as well be us captive in these slave shacks called prisons<br />
Minds have become so oppressed it has distorted our vision<br />
Chip is only the re-beginnin<br />
So lets do this for our children<br />
Cuz the truth shall not falter in the face of evil<br />
In the words of Fred Hampton “I’m going to die for the people, because I’m going to live for the people”</p>
<p>In Solidarity,<br />
Sikander Nasim Iqbal</center></p>
