What was good about 2021

What Are the Democratic Doing?

The REP are raging war on the country especially with voting rights, the supreme court, and the rule of law for what ever that means. However, the DEM and President Biden can't pass the voting rights bills, child and family leave, getting VA to stop holding up VA Disability benefits, and more. DEMs have not fight in them.

Children Hunger in America and Around the World

Children need healthy food to grow, learn, and thrive. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, however, children in America went hungry at alarming rates. Institutional racism, low wages, and other inequities made it impossible for many families—especially Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous families—to put food on the table. At the same time, policymakers have refused to adequately fund nutrition programs to reach and feed all children in need. Millions of children entered this crisis without consistent access to nutritious food, leaving them especially vulnerable to hunger and harm. In 2019, more than 1 in 7 children—10.7 million—were food insecure, meaning they lived in households where not everyone had enough to eat (see  Table 10 ). These households struggled to afford and access healthy meals, forcing them to rely on low-cost food to feed their children, skip meals, or even go hungry. Black and Hispanic children were twice as likely to live in food-insecure households as white

It is named after James Zadroga , a New York Police Department officer whose death was linked to exposures from the World Trade Center disaster . The law funds and establishes a health program to provide medical treatment for responders and survivors who experienced or may experience health complications related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Senator Bob Menendez and Representative Carolyn Maloney initially co-sponsored the bill, which failed to pass in 2006.

The bill was subsequently reauthorized in 2015, with coverage extended to 2090. The current bill was sponsored by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Repres

What makes Americans Hold

1. USDA’s future for Black and Minority farmers :   John Deere, in partnership with the National Black Growers Council (NBGC) and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), established the LEAP (Legislation, Education, Advocacy and Production Systems) coalition in 2020 to help eliminate barriers created by Heirs Property and provide resources to advance the lives and livelihoods of Black farmers. LEAP is dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability of over 60 million acres of land currently owned or farmed by Black farmer.   Supporting new legislation For several years, Black farmers and landowners have experienced systemic discrimination, ranging from denial of federal farm assistance to unjust lending practices. To counter this, in February 2021, the Justice for Black Farmers Act was introduced to provide debt relief and create land grant programs to foster a new generation of Black farmers. LEAP and other advocates are pushing for additional legislation to ensure Black lan
  Annihilation of Native Americans Dennis S. Murray July 30, 2001 Introduction In America today, there are many discussions about racism, diversity and cultures.   Some believe we are a melting pot with blended families and everyone is treated equal.   While others view our society as one of disparate treatment, inequities among the races and injustice and unfair treatment inflicted by the majority population towards minorities. One culture of people that does not appear often in today's headlines is the Native Americans.   In my opinion, there is little discussion about their experience and their sacrifices.   While much is said in regards to Jewish holocaust experience, Vietnamese and Latino immigration experience and the African American slavery experience, there is little mention of the first inhabitants of American soil.    After reading the Fact of Life by George Russell, the Native American experience interests me.   Thus, I pose the question did the U.

  Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk are going to the Moon while the undeserved are still sitting inside of a Bottle - By Dennis S Murray Sr.     R ecently my good friend illustrated through his art work a “person sitting inside of a bottle trying to read the label”. Artist : Marcellus Jackson Immediately a light bulb started flashing about the equities that have faced our   undeserved community for decades   before, despite the Covid pandemic that ripped over 600 thousand and counting lives from there families across America and millions around the world. But the pandemics is not over with us yet, while Congress continues to rip each other apart with who was right during the horrific insurrectionists that storm the Washington Capital Building sending all members of Congress crippling for cover, but those same Republicans still denied it happen, change voting laws in Republican led states, but the people of America are asking for each party to thei

BORN NOT TO BE LOVED

  Nations Capital Undersized by Domestic Terrorist   by Dennis S Murray Sr., .Six years before Jacob Blake was shot and critically injured by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the city made national headlines for a case that became the impetus for  groundbreaking reforms concerning the use of deadly force. “Could it help provide a new faith in the justice system?”  The New York Times  asked  at the time. Those reforms, however, were narrowly focused on making changes to how law enforcement investigates its own, the kind of reform strategy that once may have seemed like enough. On August 23, 2020, Jacob S. Blake, a 29-year-old black man was shot by police eight times in his back as he walked back to the car where his children reportedly sat waiting for him, it wasn’t a failure of reform but evidence of what any reform really does look like. But the law enforcement officer felt that they had to use lethal force because they felt their life was threatened. However, Jacob Clark
