The Dormant Organization: When a Community Loses Its Voice

The largest Liberian community outside Liberia. An organization since 1974. So when the headlines turned on us — who spoke?Nobody. And tonight the Inner Circle says it out loud.Abe, Buela, Peterson, and original panelist Sam put the silence on trial: the scandal that ran 24 hours with no one to answer it, the candidates "doing politics in America as though they are in Liberia," the mayor who asked one question a whole delegation couldn't answer — "how many people are in your community?" — and the reason nobody pays dues anymore: "We're paying fifteen dollars for Amazon Prime every month."Other communities register their newcomers, elect their own, and speak with one voice. Ours throws a party. As one host puts it: we're making noise — but it's party noise.A community without a voice doesn't stop being talked about. It just stops being heard from.Amplify. Empower. Elevate.
