HI Everyone,

This should be an amazing concert.  I really wanted to put the word out there,
as one of the performers, Amadou Camara, is a good friend of ours and was an
amazing support to Okili and I, donating two performances to us at both
fundraisers we held in support of making Okili FREE.  I've gone on line to
listen to the music of Marcus James blended with this West African music and it
is truley amazing.  I encourage ALL to attend.  This is a real treat folks.

~Sabrina Krauss

  P.S.  The show will be video'd, so if you ever wanted to be in the
movies...nows your chance!    don't be scared.....

NOTE: For those  who don't know: Okili Nguebari, beloved friend of many
for the past  27 � years, beloved husband of US Citizen Sabrina
Krauss for 22 years, father of  two American children ages 21 and 17,
business owner, non profit founder of The  United Africa Club, home
owner, and tax payer, was picked up by the Dept. of  Homeland Security,
ICE unit on Monday April 20, 2009 in front of his home by six  ICE
Agents traveling from SF in 3 unmarked cars (talk about waste of tax
dollars).    He was picked up for a 23 year old outstanding  order of
deportation from an over stay of Student Visa. For the past 21 years
his wife and he have been trying to make him legal, and for at least 15
years of  that time he was temporarily legal through an Amnesty Program.
Just 3 weeks  prior to his being picked up they had met with an
Immigration attorney and were  set to start new appeals on his case in
June. On April 20, the ICE agents wasted  no time in flying him to a
remote, 5000 bed, privately owned (Correction  Corporation of America)
Immigration Detention Facility in Eloy, AZ where he was  held 3 long
months.  Miraculously he has been released, as of July 18,  because he
is a member of a class action law suit against the Government  regarding
the Amnesty Program he'd initially been denied 10 years ago.    When
this all first happened in April, we held an  emergency fund raiser that
had OVERWHELMING SUPPORT from the many communities  who's lives have
been touched by Okili.  When he was released we had another  VERY
supportive WELCOME HOME PARTY / fundraiser on Aug. 28, '09, where Okili
was  the star of the party.  For complete info of all updates, and if
you want to  send help that we still need, go to http://okili.chipin.com
<http://okili.chipin.com/> .   OKILI UPDATE AS OF  9/19/09: Hello,
everyone.  I'm finally able to sit down and  write this after first
making a HUGE Thank You list to everyone who's helped us,  supported us,
donated to us, etc. (see below - it's  long).  Hopefully I've not left
out many, but I'm bound to have  left out someone, so PLEASE forgive me
if I did, but also please don't hesitate  to let me know.     Not only
has it taken me nearly a month to write  this update, but I've been kind
of recuperating after, for me,  4 months of  intensive stress.  The 3
months while Okili was detained by ICE I was living on  some kind of
nervous adrenalin energy that kept me up till 2:00 AM most nights,  and
up in the AM by 7:30, barely getting a bite of food at proper times of
the  day.  As many of you know I was sending constant updates,
communicating with  lawyers, Okili; and not able to focus on my income
($) job, etc. It was non  stop.     Then when he was released July 18,
we knew we had  to start organizing the Welcome Home Party immediately
(for all updates /stories  on this go to:  http://okili.chipin.com
<http://okili.chipin.com/> ).   That was another intensive lot of time
planning, coordinating, publicizing, etc.  with only about 1 month to
pull it all off at the Sebastopol Community Center on  Aug. 28 (less
than a month ago).  So after the event it was for me like a "rest"
after 4 months rather than just one month planning the welcome home
event, if  you know what I mean.  To be honest things are STILL getting
back to normal for  us in the house, and things are not "complete" yet
with his case by any  means.   So How Was the Welcome Home  Party?   It
went great.  Again we had a wonderful outpouring  of donated and
volunteer support from an awesome list of Musicians, Businesses,
Volunteers, and people.  This time it was a BIG dance / dinner party
with great  live music - super tasty Marinated Chicken dinner (not BBQ
as advertised, that's  ANOTHER story) w/ yummy Black Beans, organic
Salad, rice, someone brought Dahl,  there was bread, etc.  This time we
could not pull off the Silent Auction, but  that was OK. There was a
great Turn out again too.    We did not make as much money as the FREE
OKILI  event because I think people were not feeling the same urgency as
they felt when  Okili was first kidnapped by the ICE. There were more
people who came in for  FREE or for less money at the entrance, and that
was  OK too, because we kind of  wanted to give something back to the
community.  After all calculations (some I  kept coming across) we net
about $2900.  At least that was a jump start as I can  finally work in
my job; and, Okili can start back to what he was doing when they  got
him, which was starting a new business (more on that in another update).
Is Help Still  Needed ? - Of course  we can still use help, as there are
plenty more big expenses coming, even though  our lawyer has a cap on
her fees (compared with the last lawyers who wanted  unlimited amounts):
We still have some large Government application fees to  pay; I'd say we
could still really use another $5000.  But at least now we can  both
focus on working to make money ourselves.  Although,  if you want to
send  any financial support to us, there is a PayPal link at
http://okili.chipin.com <http://okili.chipin.com/> .   At the bottom of
this UPDATE I have a HUGE  list of Thank You's to ALL the Businesses,
Musicians, and Human Beings  who helped us out during the past 5 months.
I really hope I didn't leave anyone  important out.  Please let me know.
Thanks.   WHERE DO WE STAND  NOW? Currently, as many of you know, Okili
joined a  class action law suit against the US GOVERNMENT CUSTOMS AND
IMMIGRATION SERVICES  that was brought on by the NORTHWEST IMMIGRANTS
RIGHTS PROJECT in Washington  State (NWIRP vs. USCIS).  While the  class
action law suit application  membership is pending, he again has a
temporary work permit giving him temporary  legal status in the USA (he
got the permit on Aug. 29, the day after the Welcome  Home Party from
another "privately owned contractor" with the USA, right here in  Santa
Rosa - and that's another weird story to tell another time).   WE WANT
FAMILY UNITY  GUARANTEED - While he has this temporary legal status, our
lawyer,  Ms. Florence M. Ndedi, will be attempting to open up the old
case regarding  the  overstay of Student Visa from 25 years ago; the one
that they picked him up on  to have him deported, and why he was taken
to the Detention facility.  In this  deportation case, they do NOT
currently recognize our family, nor the 15 years  he lived here w/
temporary legal status under Amnesty, and really developed our  family
and community connections here during that time.  If she is able to open
up the old case we will be showing a judge our lives from the past 22
years  together (family, community involvement, home ownership, taxes
paid, etc.  etc.).    What we really want and need is a guarantee of
Family Unity here in this country where we have made our lives together
for 22  years, and Okili's actually been in the country for nearly 28
years (it would be  very hard for him to start a life at his age in
France or Congo at this point -  and for us all to be disrupted by force
- it's nuts)   It's weird to realize  that actually as it now stands,
the kids and I do not have the same rights as  other US Citizens - to
have our father and husband like other US Citizens do.      But, we feel
spiritually and in our hearts that  this is all going to work out.  When
it works out we will be paving the path for  many other's in similar
situations regarding Family Unity.  Humans are complex  creatures, and
you can't control who you'll fall in love with, and you can't  make laws
about humans that are like traffic tickets and traffic school.   There
is no set law that tells us things will  work out a certain way for us,
no clear path at this time for what the right  thing is to do or how it
will turn out.  We have only our wits about us, a good  lawyer, finally,
who really cares, and the Grace of the Great Spirit which  IS all of you
and all of your love (my Grandmother always said that God was in
everything and everyone).  See many such stories like ours here on this

Page Coming:  Videos and  Pictures  During this whole time, our dear
friend Michelle  Hill has graciously used her husbands website to attach
a small website for us  to it, and added all the updates, etc.  It's
coming time though, that we will be  actually making our own new website
where we can ad our own stuff as needed,  etc., as Michelle is getting
really too busy in her life to handle this much  longer. There are a
number of photos, and some videos from the welcome home  party, etc. to
add.        HUGE LONG LIST OF THANK  YOU'S This list is for ALL the
people,  businesses, Media, Musicians, major Volunteers, emotional
supporters, friends,  family, etc. etc who came together during the past
5 months to REALLY help us  out. We cannot say Thank You in a big enough
way.  We LOVE YOU ALL!  (Everyone  is in Alphabetical order rather than
order of who did more, paid more, etc.  (accept Media is random))

~~Africa Times Three at SOBs~~

Happy New Year and Ramadan Kareem!

SOBs is throwing an African Fet� on September 23rd, bringing together great
musicians and cultures from the diaspora. The allstar bill features Blick Bassy,
the Cameroonian singer whose album 'L�man' has been hailed by critics and
world-music aficionados as a special musical offering. Following Blick is
Kakande - featuring the final performance of Petit Cond� before returning to
Guinea. Rounding out the night the Afrobeat band Mamarazzi. What to say about
Mamarazzi?? Here's their myspace blurb:

"Spontaneously combusting in summer '06 under the careless scientific
supervision of a group of Wesleyan University Alum (the nonsensical institution
that housed Santogold, MGMT, and Dar Williams), the band's sound has been born
and born again through daily revivals of its earthly ingredients...

The result, like a ripe grapefruit, is that just-right combination of unlikely
elements: tart funk, acidic groove, and nectar of ancient lullaby."

"Acquire knowledge. It enables its possessor to distinguish right from

wrong; it lightens the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert,

our society in solitude, our companion when friendless, it guides us to

happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is an ornament amongst

friends; and an armour against enemies." (Prophet Mohammed (SAW))

SCTPN's 11th Annual 10K Walk-for-Education & Awareness

Help Break the Sickle Cycle!

One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene.The
prevalence of the disease in the United States is approximately 1 in 5,000,
...mostly affecting African Americans, according to the National Institutes of
Health. Sickle cell trait prevalence is highest in West Africa (25% of the
population).

Sickle Cell Disease is a genetically inherited blood disorder prevalent among
people of African, Caribbean, Central/South American, East Indian, Middle
Eastern, Mediterranean, Asian and Southeast Asian ancestry. Sickle cell trait
and disease is indigenous to all these populations because of malaria. These
genetic mutations developed over thousands of years as a result of the human
body's natural immune response against malaria.

The disease process results in severe anemia, oxygen deprivation, poor
circulation and extreme pain. Painful episodes known as "crisis" are disabling
and debilitating.

the SCTPCN in NYC has ONLY EARNED $4576 for the nation which is sad! Step up my
people. This affects all of us who are carriers, have family members that have
the disease, or at risk. We can walk for AIDS and Cancer, we can MARCH for
SICKLE CELL!!!!


Many People are fasting this month of Ramadan, and are still coming out and
representing for out community....
