Itta Bena, Mississippi is a small, sparsely populated, predominantly Black town in Northern Mississippi that relies exclusively on ATM machines as a primary source of banking. There are banking deserts throughout rural Mississippi. @MississippiAdos

“population 1,828 and likely declining, the four other ATMs sit inside gas stations and charge $5.25 to $7.50 per transaction. So the demand for the most basic financial services at an affordable rate is such that on one or sometimes two days a week, Hope’s ATM runs out of money”
“People need cash in Itta Bena. Between the boarded-up dry cleaner and the fraying remains of an American Legion hall, just one store in the center of town sells food — almost exclusively in boxes, cans or bags — and it does not take credit cards”.

Technical Capability Statements are important for contractors who are looking to secure government contracts. The justification and approval process:
“•It provides authority to the contracting officer to award a contract without full & open competition.”

Federal Contracting Officers hold a lot of sway over small businesses who are looking to scale via a process called the Sole Source contracting policy. Technical Capability Statements help with specific solicitation to these individuals.

If you are looking to acquire a government contract as a small business or a vendor this may be a helpful source.

Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore have laid out the blueprint for the liberation of American Descendants Of Slavery in the United States pre 1776. Any other grift is a microcosm of the work that #ADOSActivists✊🏾have put in on a grassroots level since 2016. No cap✊🏾🙏🏾❤️
If I am being completely honest, the @DNC has been on notice since the 2012 Primaries. The Black community has not gotten anything worth marching in the streets for since the #CivilRights Act of 1964. We should be demanding #OneManOneVote as individuals in a 2 Party System! ✊🏾
Fannie Lou Hamer expressed these same concerns as she pleaded with the @DNC to allow a MS Freedom Party Delegation to allow an all Black Democratic Delegation to represent Mississippi. Democratic delegates from MS were holding GOP Barry Goldwater signs.

We have to usher our elders into the next frontier of Civil Rights activism. Many came from a Pan African ideology that lumps us all together as Black Activists without understanding the con that was played on MLK, Malcolm, Stokley, and others during the 60’s. #ADOS✊🏾 is specific
#ADOSActivists✊🏾 have spent the last 4 years crafting a #BlackAgenda that is inclusive of #ADOS✊🏾 and all of America,yet we have been detested by the #LiberalEstablishment. We have no friends. Only allies at this point. Meanwhile, @ReverendWarnock @ossoff

,@JoeBiden, @SenKamalaHarris, and others on the @DNC ballots were ushered in on the backs of #ADOS✊🏾 voters who have been a captured electorate since #FannieLouHamer’s all Black delegation from MS was denied a seat at the @DNC Convention in 1964.

#ADOSActivists in MS have always been a political advocacy organization. We fight for policies on behalf of non profit organizations so that they do not have to depend on charity. Our government works for us. We must demand transformative legislation to build our communities.
The @MississippiRise has been critical in getting vital resources to our communities. One of their board members is my good friend LaRonne Lewis. He is also a member of our @MississippiAdos Organizers circle.
We are both two passionate people. Our organization uses political advocacy for policy initiatives that are specific to #ADOS✊🏾. We were discussing the current exclusion of Black Farmers from the USDA Food Box distribution program.

Mississippi is home the Choctaw and Cherokee Indian reservations. They own thousands of acres of land and commercial property in Mississippi Alabama and Louisiana. Casino Gaming and Agriculture are their major sources of income today.
As we celebrate “Thanksgivings” let us all remember the Native #ADOS who predate the “Founding Fathers” of this Country before 1775. #ADOS have been in America well before 1565.
