Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts needed, please
Hain't read all this since the first posts, but is there a Facebook or other online effort going with a "virtual poster" yet, and if not, would one make sense?

Has the nearest NAACP been contacted yet about some help looking and getting the word around?

Have local ministeriums been asked to BOLO for someone (Ezra) seeking safe sanctuary because some bad folks have him running (thru no fault of his I am confident)

Have area welfare agencies been asked to BOLO for anyone needing emergency cash, maybe due to a robbery (poss head injury, not knowing he's himself)

Have local yoot orgs (scouts, 4H, etc) been asked to BOLO?

School officials in case a young black man is hovering, hurt, in a playground, who they may otherwise dismiss as a perve?

What org has a local email network that would blast a BOLO?

CNN with an angle on the biracial overtones-- "another young [black] man [white] people may not care enough to look for or to SEE"?


I know you are doing all you can think to do-- I also know you that are probably pretty overwhelmed and that it's easy to miss a BOLO vector in a situation like this.
