Building on a family legacy, Rose leads a growing national effort to fight systemic barriers and empower underserved communities through grassroots advocacy

By Austin R. Cooper, Jr.
Washington Informer

Gerald E. Rose is transforming a family legacy of civil rights advocacy into an expanding national movement through the New Order Human Rights Organization (NOHRO).

Rose has turned a family legacy of activism into a growing national movement for justice. As the founder of NOHRO, Rose is leading an expanding grassroots campaign to fight systemic barriers faced by Black Americans and underserved communities nationwide.

What started as a local effort has gradually expanded into a broader platform for advocacy, accountability, and community empowerment.

A Legacy That Inspired a Movement

Rose’s dedication to social justice is strongly influenced by his father, the Rev. Floyd Rose, a well-known civil rights advocate in Toledo, Ohio, recognized for his efforts to defend the dignity and rights of marginalized communities.

Growing up, he witnessed firsthand how advocacy can create change and why it’s crucial to stand up for those whose voices are frequently ignored.

“My father believed advocacy meant standing in the gap for people who didn’t always have someone fighting for them,” Rose said. “That principle guides everything I do.”

For Rose, founding the New Order Human Rights Organization was more than just creating an organization — it was carrying on a mission his father devoted his life to.

From Local Effort to National Vision

Under Rose’s leadership, NOHRO, established in 2000 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, has expanded to serve 17 cities nationwide, creating a network of activists, community leaders, and volunteers dedicated to addressing local family issues.

However, his vision extends well beyond the organization’s current scope. He plans to expand the foundation’s presence to 50 cities by the end of 2026, creating a nationwide network that can quickly respond to civil rights issues and community needs.

“We want to be where the need is greatest,” Rose said. “Real change happens when communities are organized and empowered to advocate for themselves.”

Confronting Barriers to Opportunity

The organization tackles issues that often overlap in the lives of marginalized communities. Its priorities include fighting racial profiling, helping individuals overcome employment barriers, supporting students and families facing challenges in the school system, and advocating for meaningful education reform.

Through advocacy, community outreach, and collaboration with local leaders, the organization seeks to highlight inequities and provide practical support to individuals facing these challenges.

Rose believes that tackling these issues together is essential to creating genuine, lasting change.

NOHRO has been involved in several cases that have garnered both national and international news coverage, including, but not limited to, the following:

Leon Moss, Jr., a young man being held at the Fulton County Jail on contested charges. The New Order team works with legal experts and media to pursue justice.
Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old murdered in a hate crime, was among the first to rally outside the Glynn County Courthouse.
Terrell Carter Jr., a 39-year-old man with a history of mental illness, was shot 24 times in East Toledo, Ohio.
Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old woman, died while in police custody in Texas.

Rose is also familiar with controversy. He publicly supported Michael Vick during the dogfighting scandal, even writing him weekly letters while in prison. “Everybody said, ‘Gerald, why are you supporting him?’ But I also saw the bigger picture – a man, not just his mistakes.”

Empowering Communities Via Advocacy

Beyond raising awareness, the NOHRO aims to empower communities with resources and support systems designed to help individuals overcome institutional barriers.

Community workshops, partnerships with local organizations, and grassroots organizing are key components of the foundation’s strategy. By building strong local networks, Rose aims to improve communities’ capacity to advocate for themselves.

“Empowerment begins when people realize they are not alone,” Rose said. “Our duty is to help communities organize, speak out, and demand the opportunities they deserve.”

Creating a Legacy for Future Generations

For Rose, the work involves not just tackling today’s challenges but also building the foundation for future generations.

By expanding the organization’s reach and strengthening partnerships across communities nationwide, he aims to build a sustainable movement capable of influencing policies and increasing opportunities for those who have historically been marginalized.

“Our mission goes beyond today’s problems,” Rose said. “It’s about creating pathways for the next generation to succeed and making sure that justice and opportunity are rights, not privileges.”

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
