WASHINGTON, DC — If you are a community person, you need to be able to interpret local events as a reflection of what’s happening in the rest of the country. I distribute 50 or more copies of the People’s Tribune to my neighbors, to all of the local businesses and through my affiliation with the Afrikan Women’s Networking Group.
The Peoples’ Tribune is a wake-up call about the untold truth of what’s really going on in our communities and what/who is behind it. It covers what the mainstream media does not. It explains what’s causing the chaos in our society in the first place, and is not afraid of reporting the truth.
The Peoples’ Tribune writers give me a perspective I can relate to my community. Its national perspective prepares us for what’s coming down the pike.  The People’s Tribune should be distributed to every high school and college, as required reading.
Minister Alfreda Chi Mauuso, born in Philadelphia, has been a resident of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area for over 35years. She is an ordained Elder in her church and has been elected twice as Commissioner of her Advisory Neighborhood Commission, 4C01. ChiMauuso@yahoo.com.
