Without this therapy pool, generously underwritten by the Alice Tuohy Foundation, our quality of life is vastly diminished. The new pool under construction in Goleta will be wonderful, but it will be very difficult for many of us to make that journey. With our aging population, Santa Barbara should have no trouble utilizing two (2) therapy pools! Their are so few heated therapy pools in California, we feel each is a treasure!  Even if you are not now using the pool for therapy, you may need it in the future.  We hope you can find a way to make retaining the existing, wonderful De la Vina pool possible.

1. 400 volunteers have been going in to pour into these women.  2.The recidivism rate is the lowest in the State of Arkansas 20.45% 3. Studies show that all the programs used in there. Trauma therapy, recovery, and spiritual support have brought these women ways of healing and becoming productive citizens. 

By raising our voices, we will expose a blatant but cleverly hidden mismanagement by FEMA that has allowed coal ash and pipelines on floodplains to escape mandatory insurance and pass all disaster relief to the consumer and taxpayer. This intentional move by FEMA has contributed to a decades long loss to the Disaster Relief Fund that is staggeringR

Assyrians of the Chicagoland area as in many communities are struggling between work and childcare. With this capital grant of $250,000, parents can rest assured that their children will be placed in a safe and beneficial environment while they are at work providing for their families.

Others should join our fight for rights! Prisoners in Missouri were given the right to an attorney. If they cannot afford one, one is appointed to them. So why is this right not given to the ones under guardianship? A psychiatric evaluation after a year in a locked facility will show the progress of one's health. Placing them in front of a Judge will get the courts more involved with their cases. When placed in a 24 hour 7 days a week locked down facility you are not given any amount of time that you will be in this facility. It could be a year it could be 12+ years. Prisoners are given an out date, but the non-criminal mentally ill are not given this right.

What if it were their mother daughter sister niece aunt uncle brother nephew father? Abuse happens to everyone and everyone deserves justice. Women children and YES even MEN are stuck in abusive relationships/situations. They all deserve the same help and protection from those harming them. If one signature can help save at least can help make the change then that's what is needed. Victims should've live the life of a victim they should live their lives as a survivor. They should be able to live without fear that their abuser can still hurt them. Restraining orders need to be more than just a piece of paper.

Amending the Rent Control and Tenant Protection Ordinance in favor of the Meadows owners, will create displacement of families, families with children in CCUSD, senior citizens, retirees, those with disabilities, residents who work in Culver City, while increasing the 43% of Culver City Renters who are rent burdened. Instead of serving the 48% of Culver City Residents who are renters, it will cause an exodus, and challenge those who are displaced. They will most likely be unable to relocate in Culver City or find affordable housing in neighboring communities. We are especially sensitive to displaced senior citizens and children who are pulled out of school before graduating as seniors from Culver City High School.

Domestic violence victims and children of contentious divorced should have additional protection from their abusers. Additional professionals that are knowledgeable about mental health should be involved in such a major decision such as injunctions and whether they should be lifted or permanent. If a thorough psychological evaluation is conducted on an abuser, this may help in seeing there are underlying disorders of concern.

In middle school I washed dishes to pay for my lunch. My parent made too much money to qualify for the free lunch program, and worked so hard that she fell asleep on the couch before being able to spend quality time with me. I looked for other ways to bring in income to cover any extras such as babysitting and lawn mowing. Today’s inner city kids are pushed toward drug selling, prostitution, and theft. I have seen it and stopped them. It’s now illegal for schools to allow children to do the lunchroom work I did as a kid. I have taken initiative when I lived in the inner city of Columbus to help these kids find legal ways to earn the money for what they wanted to buy. The one kid that stuck out in my mind the most was doing those things to get diapers and wipes for his baby sisters. A 1 to 2 cent tax on the dollar for almost any necessary disposable item would cover the cost for lunch for every child in the state. I think that’s a minor inconvenience to solve a major problem.

Currently AZ is trying to push legislation that limits discussion about discrimination and inequality (SB1412) as well as cutting school funding (SB1269) The bills seem divisive but last week, AZ signed into law a bill banning trans athletes from competing in their identified category (SB1165). **Its important that we as students, educators and parents DO NOT LET THESE BILLS PASS** We need to show legislators that we are aware of what is happening and that we are firmly against it. I am trying to organize school-based direct action because we need to demand change.

This issue effects all the mobile home parks in the state and the elderly living in them.

Because the post office is a necessary and highly important federal service provided to all without discrimination.
