Clarion University has slated the Music Education, German and French programs for elimination as well as the dissolution of the College of Education as part of its illogical workforce plan. The loss of 22 faculty positions affects some of Clarion's most beloved, well-respected and effective educators. Tell President Karen Whitney that you won't stand for this!

Blanca Solis is the hard-working, single mom of Valeria (6 years) and Ulises (11 months), both of whom are US-citizens. Yet, on Monday she could be deported and her kids left without their mom. Blanca’s case is like too many we’ve heard before. After being pulled over for a simple traffic violation, Blanca showed the deputy her New Mexico driver’s license and proof of insurance. Still, she was handcuffed and taken to jail. Blanca has lived in in Las Cruces, NM for almost a decade and if deported, her children risk spending the rest of their childhood in foster care away from their mother. This is un-American and another clear sign of our broken immigration system. But it's not too late for Blanca. Just this week, supporters like you helped stop a similar deportation of a father of four in Ohio when we send thousands of petitions. If we raise our voices again, we can do the same for Blanca. Please join us in telling the El Paso Field Office to stop Blanca's deportation. Blanca's entire family is depending on us.

We formed our union at Ivy Academia to ensure that teachers and other stakeholders have an equal and valued voice and to achieve equitable conditions and pay in comparison to the rest of the teaching community. Unfortunately Ivy wants to keep teachers as “at will” employees and be able to fire teachers for no reason with no explanation, no notice and no due process. We deserve better.

Just want to make sure this feature works properly

Our county-owned nursing home, Falling Spring Nursing and Rehabilitative Center, provides end-of-life and restorative care for our citizens who need care and who have exhausted all of their resources. We must fight this because: *Our home receives the highest marks for the excellent care given to its residents & their families by professional, caring staff. *There has been no suggestion or evidence of mismanagement of the home. *Most of the residents were not accepted at privately owned facilities. *It accepts all Franklin County citizens regardless of their ability to pay. *It does not pose an unreasonable burden on our county budget. *County Commissioners have given no reason for the sale.

The information in this section applies to all, but the sexist title, "She Says" omits all the men, dads, single dads, as well as turns off many women in favor of equality for both genders. Tell "The Forum" this isn't the 1950s and demand they step into the 21st century by giving this section of their paper a gender-neutral title such as "Family" or "Lifestyle". Thanks much!!

There is nothing more important to democracy than free and fair elections. The Republican Party has been doing everything it can, from gerrymandered districts to opening up new hidden ways for special interests to funnel money into elections without exposure, to the new restrictive voting laws. Elections in North Carolina are no longer open, fair, nor conducted in the interest of the people, but rather the rich, the corporations and the morality authorocrats, in short, the Republican Party

Our Junction City Baseball/Softball Field is subject to being used as a parking lot and camping area for events that are too large to be at the Park area only. We want a stop to this as to it effects the grounds in which our children and adults play on.

For too long, The Washington Post has misled readers by publishing climate denial alongside accurate science, like consistently publishing op-eds that claim that climate change is an elaborate collectivist plot and that there is no evidence that the planet is warming — but all of that could change this year. The founder of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos, just bought The Washington Post, and he’s looking to make big changes that could revolutionize the dying newspaper industry. What’s more, Bezos has made it clear he intends to listen to his audience; he wrote, “Our touchstone will be readers, understanding what they care about – government, local leaders, restaurant openings, scout troops, businesses, charities, governors, sports – and working backwards from there.” Bezos’ plan to reinvent the news industry based on readers is an incredible opportunity to make honest climate coverage an essential part of the modern newspaper. But there needs to be a strong demand from the public to convince him to not go down the same path of the old Washington Post and continue publishing climate denial. Bezos proved at Amazon.com that he’s focused on consumers and what they want, which is why we’re sending our message directly to him. Jeff Bezos: readers demand accurate climate coverage.

I took my 1 year old daughter (who is walking, exploring, putting everything in her mouth) to the East Asheville Playground and there were City of Asheville employees there spraying ROUND UP everywhere. I mean everywhere: all over the mulch (which she loves to play with and it often ends up in her mouth), all around the equipment, coating the entire place. I took my daughter and left -[with a headache and tightness in my lungs] - enraged that this would be allowed. Please help me to urge the city to find other [non-toxic] ways to maintain and keep up our parks and playgrounds!
