BECAUSE THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY SERVES AS A POLITICAL VEHICLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE BLACK AND OPPRESSED COMMUNITY, WE HAVE INITIATED A FREE HEALTH CLINIC TO COMBAT THE HEALTH PROBLEMS WHICH EXIST AMONG POOR AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE. WE REALIZE THAT A PERSONS HEALTH IS HIS MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION. WE ALSO REALIZE THAT IMPROPER HEALTH ARE AND INADEQUATE FACILITIES CAN BE USED AS A TOOL TO PERPETRATE GENOCIDE AGAINST A PEOPLE. WE KNOW THAT AS LONG AS THE OPPRESSOR CONTROLS THE INSTITUTIONS WITHIN OUR OPPRESSED COMMUNITIES, WE WILL BE SUBJECTED TO INSTITUTIONALIZED GENOCIDE WHETHER IT COMES FROM INADEQUATE HOUSING, THE BARREL OF THE AGGRESSORS SHOTGUN, OR FROM INADEQUATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

WITH THIS THREAT OF COMPLETE GENOCIDE HOOVERING OVER OUR HEADS, THE PEOPLE MUST CREATE INSTITUTIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CONTROLLED AND MAINTAINED BY THE PEOPLE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE OPPRESSED COMMUNITIES. THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY HAS BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF BRINGING INTO BEING THE INSTITUTIONS NECESSARY TO INSURE OUR SURVIVAL, PENDING REVOLUTION. WE WILL DEVELOPE OUR INSTITUTIONS ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.

AT THE PRESENT, THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY WILL BEGIN CONDUCTING PREVENTIVE MEDICAL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE BLACK COMMUNITY TESTING FOR SUCH DISEASES AS SICKLE CELL ANEMIA AND CANCER. IN ORDER FOR THE MARK CLARK FREE MEDICAL CLINIC TO BE AN INSTRUMENT IN SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE; IT WILL NEED HELP. THEREFORE, THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY IS CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS, AND DONATIONS. ANY INDIVIDUAL WILLING TO DONATE PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES OR MONEY, PLEASE CONTACT THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES:
