 Alabama native tapped as inaugural president of national faith-based organization focused on voting rights, economic justice and equality for all Americans

A longtime grass-roots community activist was selected to lead a new national faith-based civil and human rights coalition.

The Rev. Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow, an Alabama native, was tapped to lead the New National Christian Leadership Movement. The organization is a coalition of grass roots faith-based groups, churches, civil and human rights activists. 

Glasgow officially assumed his leadership position during an installation ceremony Thursday in Hammond, Louisiana.

Glasgow is already a familiar name and working hand within communities. He is the founder of The Ordinary People Society. It advocates for people who are affected by addiction, drug sales and incarceration. 

Glasgow was led to create the organization in 2001 with a goal of restoring those most harmed through organizing and spirituality.

 

Likewise, the New National Christian Leadership Movement is committed to the traditional principles of using non-violence to advance voting rights, freedom, economic justice and equality for all people.

“We are all gathered to continue the legacy of pushing to create a society that respects all of God’s children and policies that protect their humanity and dignity,” Glasgow said. “As a child growing up in south Alabama, I never imagined that God would lead me to this point in life where I would sit as the head of an organization such as this. I am truly humbled and appreciate the responsibility that comes with it.”

The New National Christian Leadership Movement will celebrate and build on the successes of our forefathers and legacy organizations who labored and sacrificed to deliver the promise of equality and freedom to all Americans, regardless of race, creed, color or station in life.

Acdording to its charter,the New National Christian Leadership Movement is vehemently opposed to federal takeover of cities, immigrant deportation, racially motivated  re-districting and gerrymandering. 

“As a new organization, we will also tackle contemporary issues that are unique to our time and harness the power of modern tools available to us,” Glasgow said.“We will carry the mantle.”

 

“Dr. Martin Luther King stood at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington and made the same declaration that we make today,” Glasgow said. “Standing on those marble steps, he said, ‘Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.’ And he went on to declare. ‘Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.’  

“These words are just as relevant today as they were 62 years ago,” Glasgow said. “This is our vision and this our mandate. We invite everyone of good will to stand and to work with us.”

President Donald Trump what about us?

As we are looking at all these pardons going on. I would be remiss to state the fact that President Joe Biden did not honor the request of civil rights leaders Rev Jesse Jackson Sr. and Rev Al Sharpton Jr.. They both requested that Pastor Kenneth Glasgow and Jesse Jackson Jr both be pardoned because of the community work that they both had done and their contributions to society for people’s human rights. 

Now that President Donald Trump is in the pardon mode so to speak and appointed Alice Marie Johnson as the Pardon Czar ( who’s doing a very great and tedious job I might add ) 

That the President would look at who Biden did not pardon and should have before he left office, but he chose to pardon his family and walk out of the White House. This would be monumental for President Donald Trump to come back and pardon those community leaders that should have gotten pardoned by Biden. 

These are very high profile cases and may be hard for him to do since it was so hard for Biden, but is it to hard for President Trump or not.

Formerly Incarcerated Convicted People & Families Movement, TOPS, and others get ready for the upcoming election

The Formerly Incarcerated Convicted People and Families Movement (FICPFM), in partnership with The Ordinary People Society (T.O.P.S.)—the oldest and longest-standing organization advocating for Criminal Justice, Disenfranchised Voting Rights, and Prisoner Rights—proudly announces the launch of the Let My People Vote campaign!

As the trademark owners of both FICPFM and Let My People Vote, T.O.P.S. joins forces with organizers inside federal prisons, including Pastor Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow (the Founder, currently in federal custody), Travis Etienne, and Elmer Jones, the new Chairman and Co-Chairman of FICPFM. We are calling on our families, friends, and supporters to cast their votes in this and future elections as we work toward the ultimate goal of amending the exception clause of the 13th Amendment. This clause currently allows for involuntary servitude and/or slavery as punishment for felony convictions.

Every incarcerated person has at least 2-5 people who support them. Together, this adds up to 5-10 million potential voters, people who can go to the polls and make their voices heard on our behalf. Right now, we are treated not as second-chance citizens, but as second-class citizens with our rights stripped away. Voting can help change that.

Be the Hope for the Vote! Currently, five states allow incarcerated individuals to vote: Maine, Vermont, Washington D.C., Alabama, and Mississippi (depending on the nature of their felony convictions). For those in other states, we urge family members, supporters, and friends to vote for their loved ones in this election. Now that both the DNC and RNC have declared their candidates, it’s crucial that the voices of the people are heard—especially those incarcerated. If people with felony records can run for the highest office in the country, those incarcerated should also have their voices included in the democratic process.

Our First Lady President

Being a woman myself that has had to hold up, represent, and salvage. The oldest existing criminal justice, voting rights and prisoner rights organization in the world T.O.P.S. The Ordinary People Society. I am proud to see Kamala Harris even being considered for the Democratic nominee for President. I was appalled to see that they still allowed Trump to continue as a candidate with 34 felony convictions. The way the Republican party vehemently went against my Husband when he won the lawsuit against the state of Alabama ( Glasgow vs State of Alabama). In 2008 that allows people with felony convictions to vote in and out or prison. Then also when he got with Secretary of State John Merrell and got the crimes of moral turpetude defined in 2017. Now we have a bill that is trying to add more felonies to a list of moral turpetude crimes that has long been defined by my Husband years ago. But here 30 years later for T.O.P.S. being founded, seeing the same people that spoke so ugly and dehumanizing to people with felony convictions. To accept a person that has 34 felonies to run for the highest office in America 😮 is shocking. Or is it? 

Maybe it's just exposing our system that has been double standardized throughout history. Let's take a real hard look at the basis for all these draconian laws in the first place. When I talk to my husband who is incarcerated in Federal prison at this time. He tells me that he has met some very interesting friends. That we would call January 6ers, but he now calls them, fellow people with convictions. He said that they tell him everyday how they apologize to him for going against him. How they thought that all the stories he use to tell people about on his radio show Pastor Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow " It Is RAW ". They thought he was lying, and just speaking alot of falsehoods about how the system is. They would then tell him honestly that they actually felt like, and knew without a doubt, that all those laws were made for black folks, not for them. My husband said his reply was, that if we would have been black folks going up to that capitol, what do you think would have happened? But the bigger question is are you all willing to tell your families and friends the truth now that it has happened to y'all to? They said they are more than ready to do so. 

I grew up in Seattle Washington with more white people than black. We didn't see any color there. We just seen people. When I came here I noticed a drastic change, but mostly toward black men. Now I see it more towards black women than ever before. Especially since Kamala Harris has been suggested for the Democratic nominee for President.  I have son's and daughter's that I love, cherish  and adore. I have talked to my older sons and so has their father. Not only warning them but making them aware of their actions should they ever get stopped by the police. My husband has been amazing as a father teaching our children all of his rights and wrongs to give them a very rounded view of this world. Our family is mixed with all colors you can name. And with me being a dark skinned Black woman, I am very careful in teaching my children how to treat other human beings.

However when my 9 year old daughter, and 14 year old son. Not to mention my other children ask me why are people talking against us like that. Why is it different for our black people than our white friends. Why is our Father and other people in prison for helping people, while Mr Trump has 34 felonies and running for president.

 If this world is like this now Moma, then what will they be doing to us? The problem is that I have to tell my children the truth. THAT ITS ALREADY HAPPENING TO THEM! They are already affected by these laws and critical race theories, 504's and private education for some and no support and resources for others. I have to tell them the truth when they see a woman call the police for help and she gets shot in the face by the police.

Somebody said that America is not ready for a Woman President. But when the guy that is running brags that he is the  one that took away Roe vs Wade, and we are in the post wake of Breanna Taylor and the present wake of Sonya Massey Along with all those in between Sean Bell, Travon Martin and George Floyd. Yes I KNOW that we are ready for a woman President, and some motherly love and compassion.
