Any coli folk ever thinking about running for city council or anything like that in they city?

If so what would you run on? What would be your agenda?

I was thinking today I would want to create more FREE job programs for people and offer everyone free internet 10-50 mbps (though google fiber we have it here in Austin) as well as free chromebooks (any laptop will do) so people can access the internet at home they can find / apply for jobs and their children could do homework.

In a city that is trying to force us out I would focus on programs and free services so people can get access to work and stay in they communities. Would also try to find ways to get business loans for native black people so they can open up businesses easier. I just wanna see us win.

Anybody else ever think about this down the line when they get a little older or w/e?

I'd have to run a masterful campaign to get around it. Literally flawless.

Or run unopposed

Me but I’m paranoid and my old Facebook post will resurface.

I’d focus on Tranportion and Housing development and better policies in general to create better quality of life!
