UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE
Women, minorities and communities are united in our concerns. Issues such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease are decimating our families and communities. Cancer, HIV/Aids, Alzheimer, are creating extreme challenges and difficulties for women. In most communities and families, women are the primary caretakers for their households. When disease and illness strikes, women take the brunt of the support and stress of juggling schedules, arranging for support and taking time from work to care for their families. (more)

Many immigrants and Americans believe in the basic premise of quality education for all Americans and citizens. They braved hardships and difficulties to immigrate to the United States for quality education and freedom. (more)

ECONOMICS
On a daily basis we hear of more negative news about our economy and the pervasive effects of a downturn in the economy. While government officials proclaim that we are “technically not in a recession”, the everyday American knows that they’re feeling the hardships caused by this downturn. People are losing their jobs, which in turn affects every part of their daily lives. Without a job, people can’t make payments on their homes, cars and maintain a good quality of life for their children and their families. With the cost of oil, food and basic staples increasing dramatically in the past 12 months, Americans are feeling the crunch in their wallets and it’s causing a longer-term negative effect. (more)
ENVIRONMENT
As more attention is being paid to the threats of global warming and the climate crisis, we need to understand what the issues are relative to our immediate families and communities. We have all heard of the need to understand that the climate changes are forcing major changes in the way we live on this planet. However, the problem with many minorities and communities is that the way the discussion is presented or framed, doesn’t relate directly to them. Policy people and organizations often appeal to consumers by talking about reducing our carbon footprint, or discussing ways to make sustainable energy sources a priority. They don’t realize that in our communities, people are more concerned with making ends meet, getting their children the best education possible and getting employed than making conscientious choices that will preserve our planet’s safety.
