It is important for women and families all over America to have a voice in Washington. Stacey Abrams will be that voice to move forth good policies and advocate for initiatives to improve the quality of life for all Americans. She is our uniter. We need smart, strong and intentional leadership to bring us together more than ever to heal are bleeding nation.🇺🇸

Trump’s tweets are replete with blatant inaccuracies and lies that are threatening our national security and endangering the lives of Americans. Twitter must act and stop this or they will have blood on their hands!

Just like after the last economic crisis, those who surround the president will have tremendous power to shape our economic future. We need to know that the people Joe Biden chooses for the job have our interests at heart as they set priorities, award contracts, write new regulations, and enforce the law. Former Vice-President Biden has offered few specifics about who he would appoint. Biden’s known advisers include many admirably public interest-minded experts. However, many people who have advised, worked on, or fundraised for his campaign are closely tied to industries such as pharmaceuticals, private equity, and real estate. If empowered, they could not be expected to put their economic interests aside for the good of the American people. There are countless qualified, committed individuals ready and willing to serve in a Biden administration in order to ferociously defend and advance the public interest as this country tackles coronavirus and its aftermath. Tell Joe Biden that people who have been working on behalf of corporate interests or used past government service for personal gain should not be welcome in his administration.

The survival of independent beauty and barber professionals and the financial devastation caused by the forced closure of our businesses.

As health and fitness professionals as well as small business owners, we want to make sure that when we begin our work again, we do so in a way that protects the health and safety of our members and community. We have developed a white paper that spells out what we think are best practices and standards for the fitness industry to reopen and operate safely and effectively. Our gyms allow us to engage in these powerful preventative measures in a manner that is far safer than any grocery store, bakery, liquor store, retail outlet, or gas station; all of which are still operating as "essential" businesses. Not to mention, other “gyms” cannot do what we do as we have hundreds of members, whereas they have thousands. Not to mention, when our clients are healthier, they are more readily able to fight disease!

Skies are more clear. Smog no longer hangs over our highways like a haze. Life seems more balanced these days between life and family. Coffee at home tastes better. Road rage is no longer a problem. No longer must a commuter fear being struck by a drunk or intoxicated driver on their way to work. These are just a few reasons why working from home is the employment mantra of the future. Additionally, working from home reduces costs to companies such as rent, space and other facilities and has been shown to increase productivity among employees. COVID-19 has forced traditional, corporate culture to rethink how to be more efficient and, in many cases, just survive. We are discovering that companies are more capable than they thought when they allow their employees to telecommute. Working from home has shown to improve morale, improve productivity and protect commuters from tragic accidents on the way to work. Employees also have more free time to devote to their families, and it forces them to reflect on what’s most important to them in their lives. Working remotely not only promotes a better work-life balance but also allows individuals more time and energy to put towards projects that moves society forward.
