Cherrios were okay.

May 2017. Can you make a meal on $1.47?
|

Can you
make a meal on $1.47?
|
|
That is the challenge many
families face every day. One
in five DC residents receives just $4.40 per day to buy food.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, provides monthly benefits to low-income households to help them buy food. This is an essential program that helps millions of people keep food on the table, but the current benefit level is too low for many.
As we highlight the importance of our work, during Community Action Month, we also want to
raise awareness about the obstacles our customers face.
We are hosting a week-long SNAP Challenge! We have asked staff and supporters to limit food and drink spending to $22 for the work-week. Throughout the week, we'll share their struggles, triumphs, and overall experience. Join in or follow along using#UPOSNAPChallenge to find out how SNAP benefits affect poverty levels and overall health. This is an opportunity to spread the message to family, friends, and coworkers, about why #SNAPMatters. |

In celebration of this third year of the International Decade for People of African Descent.
WHY
To help unite the

develop a common global response to our common global challenges.

information with as many of your family and friends as possible and urge them
to join the conversation.
3) During the week of
May 21-27:

b) share the hashtag #ImAfricanBornIn as
much as possible (leaving a space between the word “In” and your place of
birth); and
c) share what it’s
like to be African where you live and offer your suggestions for changing
conditions for people of African ancestry all around the world.
Thank you.
A Campaign Toolkit with logos and flyers
in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese will be available online the second
week in May.
#ImAfricanBornIn is sponsored by the Valuing
Black Lives Global Emotional Emancipation Summit, convened annually by
Community Healing Network in collaboration with the Association of Black
Psychologists. This initiative is a part of the broader global grassroots
movement for emotional emancipation being led by Community Healing Network,
Inc., to help change the trajectory of the African Diaspora by changing our
narrative from a focus on the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority
to a focus on the truth of Black humanity.
For
more information on the movement for emotional emancipation, please visit www.CommunityHealingNet.orgMay 8, 2017. Los Angeles, CA. The Vision Theatre at Leimert Park
Vision Theater Consortium
Presents
Los Angeles, CA (April 28, 2017) Veteran of stage and screen, Ted Lange is
directing a staged reading of Los Angeles Playwright Charles Sullivan’s new
play Devil Works on May 8th at 7 p.m. at The Vision
Theatre at Leimert Park (3341 W 43rd Place, Los Angeles,90008). The
cast includes Cal Wilson, Tiffany Adams, Richard Caines, Andrew Walker, Bruce
Cervi, Steve Ducey, and Donn Swaby.
Devil Works is a dark comedy that deals with the real or imaginary accounts of a
writer’s close encounters with the devil; a devil who he, along with his
brother created in a television series, and subsequently tried to kill off when
the series ended.
What follows is a bizarre series of events that pits
the Devil against his creators and his determination to get revenge, not
because the series was cancelled, but because he was left disabled. You see
he’s confined to a wheelchair, and it’s not the nature of the devil to be
confined in any manner.
Tickets are $10 at the door with all proceeds going to
support Vision Theatre at Leimert Park. The Vision Parking Lot on Degnan
Boulevard at the rear of the Theater and surrounding Street Parking is
available.
For information call (323) 290-2386
The Vision Theatre is
operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
