Still very much alive, but for the last year, they went
internal as they were no longer able to sustain the public
information dissemination and campaigns, i.e., BRC-NEWS,
etc. In particular, I, being the person formerly handling
most of that (the Communications Coordinator), had to move
on as the BRC wasn't ready to move things to the required
level. I'm not talking about politics but money. Everyone in
the organization is as committed to radical change as ever,
but like most of the left, they still haven't grasped what
it means to build institutions. Poverty and purity ain't
all it's cracked up to be. We have the best politics,
but no money to get anything done.

FYI, there are over 50 BRC discussion and information
channels, but only a few of those are accessible to the
public. BRC-NEWS was just part of the public face of the
organization, but after that stopped, the discussion amongst
members and other Black folks continued as always.
