Is that really what it is? Njoki Njoroge Njehu of 50 Years Is Enough described extensive "outreach" for the A16 mobilization. Maybe it was the wrong kind of outreach - or maybe "communities of color" just don't care about the issue very passionately. Maybe they're more concerned about not getting shot by cops or paying the bills.
