Since Malcolm-Che’s founding we have followed the peace process initiated by Jorge Cornell of the North Carolina Latin Kings with much pleasure.  We only wish that more leaders of street organizations would follow his example – and the example of others – by seeking peace among oppressed people.  He has been shot, been shot at repeatedly, harassed by police and dealt with a whole lotta BS.  So it is with great pleasure that we bring this story to you:  King J is running for city council:

Jorge Cornell is running for Greensboro City Council at large. That means if you live inside city limits and are registered to vote here, you can vote for Jorge! Check out “Election Details” for more information on the process, and make sure to come out and vote October 6, 2009.

I am hopeful.  I know that a better world is possible but that we all need to be heard in order to create it.  I have proved my leadership abilities as the Inca –or leader- of the Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation for the state of North Carolina, and more recently joined the School Safety Committee for the Board of Education.  I will prove the same dedication on City Council, and I will make sure that we are heard. Without us, the future is not possible. Together, we can achieve anything!
