A whole bunch of folks are going to be out on the streets in honor of Rep. John Lewis who believed in causing " #goodtrouble." His dedication to justice deserves a raucous turnout! We're going down to Lenoir for ours. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Back in 2016, in Carlisle, PA, hanging out w/ @patlamarche.bsky.social at the shelter she was running. Snowmageddon hit. I was parked outside the shelter with electricity that stayed on. My van was, obviously, buried. The guys fromt the shelter dug me out. And other vehicles, too.
I don’t forget.

Because the Fountaindale Library (Bolingbrook, IL) sees a good amount of #homelessfamilies, Melissa will donate a stack of survival guides to be handed out to the parents. She knows from her years of being a homeless mom. www.3Melissas.org

I'm glad to see a state that at least gives some hope and voices to struggling families with children who are absolutely at risk without the implementation and expansion of such programs.

What about older siblings, not on Headstart? Is before and after-school care covered for them as well? Is their access to case management and other services needed to address other barriers? I think this is a great start…

How long will this program last? How much rental assistance is being granted? What other support services will be provided to the families to ensure THEIR success & stability moving forward? Will the plug be pulled on them without warning or is this guaranteed funding for the length of the program?

This post by Melissa N:
It sounds like this program will pay a portion of the rent and cover childcare costs for Headstart families already housed. It will indeed remove a very costly barrier to employment (childcare) and free up a portion of rent allowing families to breath...a little.

This flag, flying south of Tallahassee, makes a statement. I wonder what … ? From the the other flags adorning the backroads, some folks may claim to be poor but they sure have money for flags and signs.
