Dear Reader:

I’m Buckley Michel, a community political enthusiast, welcome to my website as since 2005 I formulated events focusing on volunteering on combating domestic violence our way of life and society we live today after seeing firsthand, what women face Everyday. Also as of August 1, 2013, purposed becoming the public speaker on climate change after hurricane Sandy under the guidance of former Vice President Al Gore in Chicago Illinois.

As a new member of the Climate Reality Leadership after seeing what happening from hurricane Sandy as so many lost so much the weekend of my birthday, I will conduct presentations in schools, homes, places of worship, businesses, and government forums on climate change with the help of those concerned. Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damage and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business, making it one of the costliest natural disasters on record in the United States.

After joining the NYPD auxiliary Police Unit in Brooklyn, after witnessing women being in bad relationships, afraid to report that they are a victim that need help. May 31, 2005, we organized and planned a conference with the help of Pastor, Rev. Terry Lee, elected officials, along with domestic violence organizations, such as Save Horizon Inc. with Andrea Garraway, at The Byways & Hedges Youth for Christ Ministries Church in Brooklyn as the Brooklyn District Attorney Hynes was the guest's speaker, as his mother was a victim of domestic violence which affected him when he was young.

On September 16, 2016, I got involved in releasing flyers for missing persons after my coworker Lloyd Reddy in the confines of the 067pct, in Brooklyn was reported missing. Upon my coworker went missing, I experienced what many families faced, not receiving the assistance they desired when someone goes missing, upon my coworker didn't show up for duty. Today, in his honor, I've trained, researched, learned to design flyers for missing persons to help families have a voice in locating there loved one. Began designing missing person flyers for dozens of missing persons, such as Chloe & Keir Johnson, missing Zeala Walker, missing Sue Paye, missing Laura Goldsmith, with Texas Eqqusearch, which today is done worldwide, sometimes with Elected Officials, which isn't pursued for popularity, agendas, or title, but strictly on a volunteer basis being the voice of the missing, with no organization affiliation.

Moving forward, my initiative today, is to help families, locate their loved ones, who are missing, continuing in creating the graphics design flyer, alerting the public of their missing loved one, throughout social media or utilize the digital billboards for individuals who are drastically missing or in danger in the honor of Aniah Blanchard, who was reported missing from Alabama, as I created the billboard to help spread the word out of her disappearance, which received media attention. Allowing law enforcement, who seeks the public help, another tool in helping the family locate the missing, sharing the photo of missing persons on and off social media.

On domestic violence of coordinate political and nonpolitical events, bringing concerned citizens, together, educating the public on domestic violence, human trafficking. Lobby in Albany & Washington DC to get the laws changed when it involves the circumstances, pertaining to domestic violence, human trafficking and missing persons, after the case of Destini Smoothers, Alaisha Watts, who was reported missing. Calling for a Domestic violence sex offender registry, placing anyone arrested, charged for committing acts of domestic violence, be placed on the sex offender registry. Demand stricter penalties for anyone involved in the disappearance of a missing person, or committed acts of domestic violence.

I've has participated in major community events to such as the “3rd Annual Chrysler Sounds of Haiti Festival” which took place at Wingate Park in Brooklyn on August 30,2005. To combat domestic violence & raise money for a cure of HIV/AIDS by raffling of a Chrysler 300. Thanks to our official sponsor “Chrysler” which took the time out to help the non-profit organization OASIS continue their efforts to help people of all walks of life who are HIV/AIDS positive. This event was a major success as the 2005 Miss Trinidad N Tobago Beauty Pageant Contestants were our special guest. This important event was sponsored by the Haitian American Cultural Festival Inc., We were also accompanied by District attorney Charles J. Hynes, Former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Field, Council member Kendall Stewart and Community Concern Network Inc., Letita James, another major elected official along with artist Bigga Haitian. They took the time out and joined myself along with Miss Trinidad N Tobago 2005 in honoring the NYPD for excellent service to the community of Brooklyn.

On March 26, 2006, along with our Dance Group La Troupe Zetwal and Mikerline Dance Troupe as we participated in the planning of the “Kids Are People Two Festival” at Brooklyn College. This important event was sponsored by R & D Entertainment Inc. There were live major performances by Hispanic and Haitian artists, like Carimi and System Band etc. We requested the assistance of New York Presbyterian Hospital Community Health Plan to participate in giving away free gift too all the attendees as kids where being reported missing or abused in the community of Brooklyn. Congresswomen Yvette D. Clarke was appointed as the keynote speaker, for the “Kids Are People Two Festival” at Brooklyn College. The following day, which was March 27, 2006, I was giving the opportunity to have La Troupe Zetwal perform for the newly elected President of Haiti, President Rene Garcia Preval, which took place at 7:30pm sharp at York College Auditorium.

I was also played a major role in the 1st Annual African Day Parade that took place in Harlem for the first time. The African Day Parade was held in New York City on August 5, 2007, which started at 12:00noon at 112th Street & Malcolm X BLVD and ended at 116 Street & Frederick Douglas BLVD. The Festival & Parade continued at Morningside Park on the same day, which continued until 6pm with live performance by special guest artists that performed on stage.

There were more than 5,000 spectators at the start of parade all the way to Morningside Park. Men & Women Foundation To Stop the Violence was proud at the success of the 1st Annual African Day Parade because there was artists and participants from over 200 countries together in celebration of our African culture.

Problem

One out of every three women worldwide will be physically, sexually or otherwise abused during her lifetime with rates reaching 70 percent in some countries.

This type of violence ranges from rape to domestic abuse and acid burnings to dowry deaths and so-called honor killings. Violence against women and girls is an extreme human rights violation, a public health epidemic and a barrier to solving global challenges such as extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS and famine. It devastates the lives of millions of women and girls — in peacetime and in conflict — and knows no national or cultural barriers.

We know that violence against women is wrong and must be stopped. What many people don't know however, is that it is also a major cause of poverty and a huge barrier to economic opportunity - it keeps women from getting an education, working, and earning the income they need to lift their families out of poverty.
