HOW FCRA BEGAN
By J Willie David, III
It all began when J Willie David, III, a former Board Member of the Florida
State Conference NAACP's Special Committee on Internal Affairs(SCIA)
and Branch Vice President decided to create a statewide organization
that puts its members and community first. With that idea, three NAACP
members joined me in a vision that gave birth to the Florida Civil Rights
Association (FCRA) on March 15, 2005.
The three original members of FCRA are hard working common people
who care about people just like you: A security guard, sales clerk, and a
school teacher.
After several brainstorming sessions with other civil rights, community
and religious leaders, we began a journey that has been amazing.
Initially, we participated in local health fairs and small community based
functions. Promoting awareness and educating the public in hopes of
eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in our Health Care Industry was
one of our first initiatives.
Before we knew it, membership began to increase, allowing us to
address broader community concerns. This journey has allowed us to
address complaints regarding, education, employment and age
discrimination, immigration issues, public safety and social justice
issues. The news of the Florida Civil Rights Association's aggressive
defense of civil rights and the fight for social justice issues was reported
by news media across the state and nationwide.
Today, the members of the Florida Civil Rights Association stand battle
ready to fight the modern day attacks utilizing the values established by
those who have sacrificed so much during the historic civil rights
movement.
ISSUES
The FCRA civil rights issues includes: Discrimination in Employment,
Housing, Age, Disability, Public Accommodation, Education, Prisoner's
Rights, Voting Rights, Community Development, Environmental Justice,
Police Misconduct, Religion and Beliefs, and Other Social Justice Issues
