Since Nov. 20, 2021, Rev. Corey B. Brooks has been living on a roof on the South Side of Chicago.

It’s tough for a lot of these mothers, especially the single mothers who are trying to do the best they can to raise their children in such a violent environment. The stress these families are experiencing is overwhelming.

Brooks’ church is located on “O Block,” named for gang member Odee Perry, where violence is a constant . Yet his programs have trained over 160 people with an 80% job placement rate.Now, we have a charter school for 16 to 21 year olds who’ve been kicked out of Chicago public schools. We’ve got them engaged in education and we get them to graduate. We also have a trade school. We offer mentoring and counseling.

I’ve always kept my politics to myself. For the first 14 years with my church I never even really thought about politics at all. And it wasn’t until six years ago, that I finally told people I was a Republican. I’ve been a Republican since I was 20.

MLB agenda does not include assistance for the needy.

The “founders” of BLM are busy raising that money for themselves… thatsWhy !!

I applaud this man. BLM is not a good organization. They do nothing to help. They just divide people and cash in. It's a shame.

Why would you ever think they would? Their greed ruined their movement. Maybe they’ll let you put up a tent outside one of their mansions. Oh wait, that would lower the property value. Duh, what was I thinking. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why would they help this guy they're busy sipping on champagne and living it up

You need to offer them 'creative services'

Ask your youngsters to start shoplifting and rioting, BLM will come fast to help you 😂

They were never going to

BLM is synonymous with Al ‘the felon’ Sharpton, it is all for show and a scam!!!

To be fair, a lot of their money is tied up right now ~ BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors admits using $6M mansion for parties:
