THE NINE POINT
PLAN
1. WE WANT POWER TO DETERMINE THE DESTINY OF THE OPPRESSED.
We believe that oppressed people will not be free until we are able to
determine our destinies in our own communities ourselves, by fully controlling
all the institutions which exist in our communities.
2. WE WANT FULL
EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR PEOPLE.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to
give every person a guaranteed income. We believe that if the American
businessmen will not give full employment, then the technology and means
of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community
so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its
people and give a high standard of living.
3. WE WANT AN END
TO THE ROBBERY BY THE CAPITALISTS
We believe that this government has robbed us and now we are demanding
the overdue debt. We will accept the payment in currency which will be
distributed to our many communities.
4. WE WANT DECENT VENUES, FIT FOR THE SHELTER OF HUMAN BEINGS.
We believe that if the government will not give decent venues to our oppressed
communities, then housing and the land should be made into cooperatives
so that the people in our communities, with government aid, can build
and make decent venues for the people.
5. WE WANT DECENT EXPOSURE FOR THE MASSES THAT REVEALS THE TRUE
NATURE OF THIS DECADENT SOCIETY.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge
of the self. If you do not have knowledge of yourself and your position
in the society and in the world, then you will have little chance to know
anything else.
6. WE WANT COMPLETELY FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLE.
We believe that the government must provide, free of charge, for the people,
health facilities which will not only treat our illnesses, most of which
have come about as a result of our oppression, but which will also develop
preventive medical programs to guarantee our future survival.
7. WE WANT AN IMMEDIATE END TO INDUSTRY BRUTALITY OF ALL OPPRESSED
PEOPLE INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.
We believe that the government of the United States uses its domestic
enforcement agencies to carry out its program of oppression against rock
n roll inside the united States. We believe it is our right, therefore,
to defend ourselves against such armed forces and that all oppressed people
should be armed for self defense of our homes and communities against
these forces.
8. WE WANT TRIALS BY A JURY OF PEERS FOR ALL PERSONS CHARGED WITH
SO-CALLED CRIMES UNDER THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY.
We believe in the ultimate elimination of all wretched, inhuman media
institutions, because the masses are victims of oppressive conditions
which are the real cause of their imprisonment.
9. WE WANT LAND, BREAD, HOUSING, EDUCATION, CLOTHING, JUSTICE,
PEACE AND PEOPLE'S COMMUNITY CONTROL OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station
to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
