We ask that you prioritize a paid family and medical leave program in the United States, and that you publicly commit to its passage this Congress. It will save jobs, save lives, and make our families and our nation stronger. Thirty years ago Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act to ensure unpaid leave for workers in America. This was meant to be a first step. Today we ask you to commit to passing the country's first permanent paid leave program. It's way past time for the paid leave every working person and family deserves. Paid leave is also one of the most widely supported policies in this country. Two-thirds of small businesses want a national paid leave program to support their workers. Four in five American voters support it. In red states and blue, battlegrounds and beyond, supermajorities of voters want paid leave passed now. This is not a partisan issue. This is about family values.

Pass Senator Hunt's LB504! The bill would help address the fatal violence against the transgender community. LB504 would add gender identity to Nebraska's Hate Crimes law, which will assist the FBI in investigating hate crimes.

Health care is a human right. It is the essence of our survival. It's time that the American government take care of its citizens, instead of health insurance special interest group. Everyone who is an elected official has a generous healthcare plan. But your constituents are bankrupting themselves in order to pay for the astronomical CEO salaries of supposed "health care providers." Congress and Senate: make a pledge, right now, to vote for healthcare for your constituents that is equal to what you are getting yourself, paid by us, the voters. It's our votes that have gotten this for you. It's time that you vote for our health as well.

We acknowledge the discussion on July 18th with the Board of Education, AG Gaston and YMCA where closing after school care for Tuggle, Hemphill, South Hampton, W.J. Christian, Oliver, Martha Gaskins, Sun Valley, Brown and Minor was presented. We advocate for retaining after school care at all 16 sites (the above mentioned as well as Princeton, Oxmoor, Avondale, Central Park, Huffman Academy and Phillips Academy) for the 2016- 2017 school year. Even considering low enrollment and costs associated with running a program, we feel that costs are potentially sustainable at all 16 sites. With these changes, about 25% of families are losing their after school care option from last year - and it is less than 3 weeks until school starts.

On May 14th, the DC Council failed the residents of Wards 7 and 8 by voting to cut the funds of United Medical Center (UMC), the only hospital East of the River, by $25 million and to close the hospital in January of 2023 with no viable alternative available. The DC Council acted on false information. Councilman Vincent Gray erroneously stated that UMC is only servicing between 70 and 80 patients to indicate that UMC is not reaching many patients. The truth is UMC is servicing between 400 to 500 patients a day and any cuts in funds for the hospital will have a detrimental impact on Ward 7 and 8 Staff at UMC are working short and any cuts in funds will impact their license. Less staff, nurses, and equipment will lead to dangerous outcomes. We cannot place the UMC nurses at risk.
