How To Move From Non-Racist to Anti-Racist. June 2020

If corporations want to move beyond lip service on diversity initiatives, they need to make real and tangible commitments to anti-racism. Here's how.

How To Move From Non-Racist to Anti-Racist by Alexandria Love As a result of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless other black Americans at the hands of white supremacists and law enforcement, America is experiencing a revolution. The resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement into the mainstream has started a conversation in which we can deconstruct many of the systems that oppress black Americans. White Americans are facing their privilege, talking about ways they have benefited from black suffering, and expressing hope that things will change. But, as my father often says, "Hope and a buck twenty-five'll get you a candy bar."

Small Businesses and Farmers Still Need Relief

As small business owners and their employees across the country continue to struggle with COVID-19 recovery, the need for flexibility and certainty is greater than ever. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Jeff Merkley (D-ORE), and Chris Murphy (D-CONN) have introduced the Rebuilding Main Street Act, allowing employers to share payroll costs with the federal government and receive grants to help cover other fixed costs for safe reopening. The American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) is urging the House to pass this bill immediately so that small businesses can have the means required to effectively respond to the crisis. SUPPORT THE REBUILDING MAIN STREET AND THE SMALL FARMERS ACTS! Additionally, to address disruptions caused by the pandemic in the food supply chain between farms and food banks, ASBC strongly recommends passage of the Small Farmers Act, legislation introduced by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). This is a critical step to ensure the well-deserved debt relief for the farmers who continue to feed us and bolster our local economies during the current pandemic, and must be included in the next federal COVID relief package. Please help ASBC advocate for the Small Farmers Act to preserve integrity in America’s food supply. SUPPORT THE REBUILDING MAIN STREET AND THE SMALL FARMERS ACTS!

Grants of up to $1,500,000 to nonprofits and faith-based organizations. Due July1, 2020

I’ve never seen or met my father.

My mother was an alcoholic throughout my childhood, so I was raised by my grandmother.

My "Nana" was amazing and I’m grateful for her. But growing up, I remember feeling sad… incomplete… why didn’t he want me?

Fast forward 54 years and I am a living witness that.... 

... Cycles Can Be Broken.

... Good Fathers Do Exist.

... Young Men Need (and want) Our Help. 

$1,500,000 Fatherhood Grant...

Hurry, the deadline is approaching.... 

The deadline is approaching fast for this one, but if you've received federal funds in the past it may be worth the effort it will take to apply. But if you need more (or different) funding opportunities, there are literally hundreds available in the Urban Awareness members area. You can also have my team find sources that match more closely with what you do and need.
