The document discusses homelessness in the United States. It provides statistics on the number of homeless people annually and the primary causes of homelessness including lack of affordable housing, income, support systems, and disabilities. It also discusses ways to help the homeless population including emergency shelters, job opportunities, and healthcare access as well as current rates and demographics of homelessness.
The document is a presentation about housing issues facing veterans in rural America. It discusses how veterans often make up a large portion of the homeless population in rural areas. It also notes barriers to the HUD-VASH housing program for homeless veterans in rural locations, such as long distances to facilities and a difficultly identifying homeless veterans.

This document discusses the development of social policies and human rights in Europe. It traces the evolution from a time of great inequality between the rich and poor to the establishment of the European social model. This model aims to promote social solidarity through universal healthcare, income transfers from wealthy to poor citizens, and other welfare policies. However, support for such social policies varies between Europe and the United States. The document examines factors like race, geography, and crisis events that have been used to both promote and undermine social solidarity within societies. It argues that inclusive social policies and speaking out against exclusion are important for upholding human rights and democratic values.
The document summarizes statistics about population growth and conditions in slums worldwide. It notes that the world's urban population will surpass rural population by 2020 and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. It also discusses issues with transportation, water access, and health that disproportionately impact the poor living in slums. Mortality rates for children and infectious diseases are much higher in slums compared to other urban and rural areas.
Flint Michigan Water Crisis: A Shattering of Public TrustBrian Elkins
This document summarizes the Flint water crisis which eroded public trust in authorities. The contaminated Flint River water caused lead poisoning and a Legionnaires' disease outbreak. Residents expressed a sense of betrayal as authorities denied problems for over a year. Interviews with residents show they no longer trust the water system and will likely never trust authorities again. Efforts to regain trust through public challenges to drink the water and minimizing complaints failed. The crisis was one of the worst environmental justice disasters according to experts and showed the importance of transparency, honesty and consistent performance in maintaining public trust.

First line of defence in tackling illegal wildlife crimeIIED
A presentation by Holly Dublin introducing the First Line of Defence (FLoD) initiative, which uses an interactive methodology underpinned by a theory of change approach, to help engage communities more directly in the design of projects aimed at tackling the illegal wildlife trade.
Dublin, a senior associate at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), highlights how the FLoD theory of change identifies four key approaches to effective community participation; this presentation focuses on one of these – decreasing the costs of living with wildlife.
The presentation was given at a webinar on community-based approaches to tackling poaching and illegal wildlife trade hosted by IIED on 30 March 2020.

Cook County Place Matters: Working Together for Health EquityJim Bloyd, DrPH, MPH
Rev. Richard McCreary and the congregation of New Covenant Baptist Church invited Natalie Chadwell and Jim Bloyd to present and facilitate a discussion Sunday, February 19th, 2012 on why place is an important factor in determining the health of residents.
This document explores the feasibility of establishing affordable housing cooperatives in Milwaukee for low and moderate income residents. Key findings from a preliminary market analysis show that median income in Milwaukee County fell by 10.3% from 2005 to 2014. Over half of occupied homes in the city of Milwaukee are renter-occupied. The document recommends that affordable housing cooperatives cater to families overburdened by housing costs, especially women of color with children. Locating cooperatives in areas with economic need for subsidized housing could help address Milwaukee's shortage of affordable options.
A presentation by Jim Bloyd, MPH, Cook County Place Matters Steering Committee, Cook County Dept. of Public Health, March 16, 2012, Good Food Festival and Conference, Chicago, University of Illinois Forum. Topics: evidence of health inequities; mixed evidence of neighborhood food environment and nutrition and health; Health Equity Framework of Anthony Iton; Power as a concept that must be considered to achievve health equity; Racial segregation in metro Chicago and resources.
Poverty is defined as lacking basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothing. It means having little to no money or resources. Poverty destroys people and leaves them without hope or will to live. Some key causes of poverty include lack of education, natural disasters, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and spending money on addictions. Major effects are hunger, lack of healthcare, unsafe water, and limited education. Facts show that half of all children live in poverty, over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, and the majority of the world's hungry people live in just 7 countries. The document calls for action to address poverty before it is too late.
This document summarizes a study examining the disproportionate impact of government spending cuts on women living in the London borough of Islington. It finds that Islington has experienced the highest percentage cuts of any London borough. Through interviews and data analysis, the study shows the cuts are having a severe impact across Islington but are affecting women the most. Vulnerable groups are particularly suffering as cuts across multiple areas like jobs, benefits and services are cumulatively impacting their lives. Specific demographic groups are struggling to cope with multiple simultaneous cuts.
The document discusses promoting a small annual cancer fundraising event called the Carol Dyer Memorial "Light the Way to the Cure" Luminary Evening. It provides statistics on cancer deaths and diagnoses. It describes how the event was started 10 years ago by friends of Carol Dyer to honor her memory after she passed away from brain cancer. Over the past 10 years, the event has raised over $50,000 for cancer research. The document then provides tips and a plan for promoting the event online through blogging, social media, and linking to the American Cancer Society website.
Poughkeepsie Journal -Battles in Our BackyardMaura Ackerman
The document summarizes a youth conference called "Battles in Our Backyard" that was held in Poughkeepsie, NY to educate and inform teenagers on nonviolence as an alternative to the violence seen in their communities and in the media. The conference was organized by two recent Vassar College graduates and involved approximately 30 teenagers from Poughkeepsie and Lowell, MA. The teens socialized, watched a documentary on youth violence in Miami, and discussed their experiences with violence and possible alternatives. Throughout the day, the teens explored productive nonviolence as an alternative to confrontation and discussed local youth projects, like making and selling salsa, as positive ways to change their communities.
All About Philanthropy in the United StatesAndrew Ho
Philanthropy aims to increase societal well-being by solving root problems like poverty, education, and health, unlike charity which provides temporary aid. The US has over 76,000 foundations that gave $46.9 billion in 2011, holding $646.1 billion in assets, led by the Gates Foundation with $33.5 billion. International giving by US foundations has grown since 1998, driven by increased wealth inequality, global issues, and prominent philanthropists like Bill Gates and Bill Clinton advocating for philanthropy.
Windsor activists use graffiti to spread the word about poverty | MetroLaura Tucker
An anti-poverty group in Windsor, Ontario called Pathway to Potential collaborated with a local design firm to spray paint messages about poverty on sidewalks to raise awareness on International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The messages included facts like "One in 10 people in Windsor-Essex live in poverty" and "The average life expectancy for a homeless person is 39 years." The group used water-soluble paint and got permission from the city. Their goal was to educate the public about the relationship between poverty and the local economy in hopes of putting pressure on elected officials to make changes to help reduce poverty.
This document discusses a potential joint venture between public health professionals and funders to improve health in the Appalachian region through tobacco control initiatives. It provides background on tobacco as a global epidemic disproportionately affecting low-income and rural populations. It then presents two case studies, one on a tobacco cessation outreach program using personal narratives in a rural Kentucky county, and another on implementing smoke-free policies in northern Kentucky. The document argues that by working together, public health experts and funders can make a meaningful impact on health in Appalachian communities through such collaborative tobacco control programs and policy changes.
A Mannsville farmer, Harold W. Nohle, won $5,000 through the America's Farmers Grow Communities program organized by the Monsanto Fund. He will donate $2,500 each to the Sackets Harbor Athletic Booster Club and the Belleville Volunteer Fire Department. As Jefferson County had been declared a disaster area due to drought, Mr. Nohle was able to double his total donation amount to $5,000.
Article edited - nyt on charity water marketingFerris Corp
The document discusses a Sunday column about charity: water, an organization founded by Scott Harrison three years ago to provide clean water in poor countries. The column focuses on how charity: water has been effective at connecting donors who want to help with those in need through innovative messaging and ensuring 100% of donations directly fund projects. The author is curious if other aid groups see transferable lessons from charity: water's success in social media marketing and bridging the gap between donors and those needing assistance.
The document discusses communication among homeless individuals and their interaction with technology and support systems. It notes that homeless people often live together in shelters, encampments, abandoned buildings and storage lockers, interacting and looking out for each other within a close-knit support system and sharing what they have, similar to a family culture. However, some face additional barriers to communication from mental illness and substance abuse issues.
1) The majority of the world's population lives in poverty in slums, which already number over 200,000 worldwide and will soon be the model for cities.
2) Cities in developing nations have become massive dumps lacking sanitation and clean water, where child labor, prostitution, and gang violence are common.
3) One such city is Kinshasa in the Congo, where the formal economy has collapsed, average income is under $100 per year, and one in five people are HIV positive but cannot afford healthcare due to extreme poverty.
According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day from poverty in remote villages without access to basic needs. Approximately 790 million people in developing countries remain chronically undernourished. Rapid urbanization has led to overcrowded slums lacking water and sanitation for 1.1 billion and 2.6 billion people respectively. Donations and volunteering can help organizations provide immunizations to prevent the 2.2 million annual child deaths.
The document discusses assisted living facilities, including common names for them, how many exist in the US (approximately 75,000), how many residents they house in total (around 1.7 million people), and some key factors to consider when choosing a facility such as location, cost, interests, and services provided like transportation, meals, and medical assistance. It also notes the average monthly cost is around $4,000 and lists additional amenities sometimes offered.
Can you imagine italian food without tomatoesLeah Hoskins
This document discusses the loss of folk culture and how it is happening all over the world, including in America. It notes that while all cultures are affected by immigration, the loss of culture occurs when groups do not meld together. Historically, the loss of Native American culture to European culture shows the dangers of one culture overrunning another. However, American culture was formed through different cultures mixing together over time. Now, with groups self-segregating due to fears of losing their culture, American culture has stagnated and diversity has decreased. The media exacerbates tensions between groups by promoting negative stereotypes instead of highlighting cultural positives. To address this problem, the document argues that the media needs to promote cultural understanding while immigrants and
The campaign "Break the Silence, Make the Call" aimed to increase awareness of domestic violence programs to help victims. It sought to increase calls to the national family violence hotline by 20% and distribute 1 million materials. Focus groups with survivors emphasized creating awareness. The campaign used grassroots partners, discreet hotline cards, and partnered with broadcasters. It was successful, increasing hotline calls 69% for English and 93% for Spanish. Post-campaign, 50% recognized the tagline. Additional strategies could include local events and social media engagement.

THE MODERN CAPITALIST ECONOMY OF PERMANENT WAR.pdfFaga1939
This article aims to demonstrate the connection between capitalism and the war economy existing in the great capitalist powers that materialized throughout history from the 1st Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Nowadays, the connection between capitalism and the war economy practiced by the great capitalist powers is increasingly evident as indispensable for understanding the games of interests that influence the dynamics of the world capitalist system. The war economy that was adopted only in times of armed conflict has become permanent. The great beneficiaries of current war capitalism are, in addition to the war industry, due to the increase in demand for weapons and ammunition, also the financial system. The great powers act as financiers and consumers of armaments production. To this end, it will look to private rentier capital for huge credits to be spent on weapons, which contributes to the growth of parasitic capital and, consequently, to its appreciation. Furthermore, war is an inexorable means for the maintenance and expansion of power by great powers. The large military complex disconnected from society required a "permanent war economy". This new economy of death is manifested in the fact that the 20th century has been, throughout history, the century of wars, contributing to 187 million deaths. Of the 10 largest arms manufacturers in the world, six are North American, five of which are leaders in the global arms industry. The United States was the one with the highest military expenditure in the world (39% of the total) in 2021. It is no coincidence that the United States is one of the countries most economically benefited from armed clashes, as the largest arms exporters in the world are North American. In addition to the sale of ammunition and weapons, the United States also monetizes with security contracts and military training, which means that many members of the US Congress understand wars as a machine for generating jobs internally and making money. Peace, for the United States, could cost it dearly. In the 21st century, preparation for war has become more central to the world capitalist system than ever before. It is evident that, as long as there is a weapons industry in the world, wars will continue to proliferate across the planet.
