Just about everything is different in 2020—including the upcoming November election.
Para no hacerte el cuento largo, we most likely won’t know the election results on November 3rd. The process of counting all of the votes and declaring a winner may take longer than normal this year. Pero recuerda: when election officials take the time to count and verify every ballot, la democracia esta funcionando. 🗳️
Every eligible voter should have their voice heard and vote counted in every election.
This year is no exception.
So, light your veladora🕯️, take a breather, and share this info with our friends and family.
---------------------
Casi todo ha sido diferente en 2020, incluyendo las próximas elecciones.
Para no hacerte el cuento largo, lo más probable es que no sepamos los resultados de las elecciones el 3 de noviembre. El proceso de contar todos los votos y declarar un ganador puede tomar más tiempo de lo normal este año. Pero recuerda: cuando los funcionarios electorales se toman el tiempo para contar y verificar cada boleta, la democracia está funcionando.🗳️
Cada votante debe ser escuchado y cada voto debe ser contado en cualquier elección.
Este año no es la excepción.
Así que prende tu veladora🕯️, respira profundo y comparte esta información con tus amigos y familiares.
Over 80 million mail-in ballots requested. Millions more votes cast in person. Record voter participation

We all know that one person who “is not into politics.” 🙄
Peor tantito, that same person genuinely believes their vote doesn’t even matter.
Before you answer—respira profundo!
Bájale al drama and start by asking - why?
Listen to their concerns.
Empathize with them.
Explain that even if they think their vote won't change the outcome of their life, it will change the lives of many others in their community.
Remind them that if democracy is going to work for all of us then it must include all of us.

Típico: Es de noche y tienes hambre.
Abres el refri, agarras la "mantequilla" y un pan tostado. Te sientas y cuando abres el tupper, te das cuenta que no es mantequilla. Son frijoles.
Así mismo, la difusión de desinformación puede dejarnos confundidos, tristes y hambrientos.
Typical: It's late and you're hungry.
You open up the fridge, grab the "butter” and a piece of toast. You sit down and as you open up the container, you realize that—in fact—it’s not butter. It's bean

🍴💭 Monday’s food for thought.
Basically, we are asking the police to do the job of a social worker, a mental health specialist, a school nurse, etc. all while being armed. #DefundThePolice means taking some money from a police dept’s budget, and using it to create more affordable housing, or to funding mental health services. That would create a community safety net better suited to respond to situations, rather than an armed officer.

43,000 millionaires will get an average tax break of $1.6 million this year, while American workers receive $1,200 apiece at best. If that sounds unfair to you, that’s because it is. This Millionaires Giveaway has got to go. Join in the fight at our virtual town hall, as we work to claw back handouts to the rich and corporations and provide aid to those who *actually* need it.
On June 20, right between the primaries and the conventions, we rise together. Join us at June2020.org! The Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington is going digital! On June 20th, we will hold the largest digital and social media gathering of poor and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and people of conscience in this nation’s history. A global pandemic is exposing even more the already existing crisis of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. On June 20, the 140 million poor and low-wealth people across this nation will be heard! WATCH the broadcasts on the #PoorPeoplesCampaign FB page: FB.com/anewppc & June 20 website: june2020.org The event will be rebroadcast on June 20th & 21st, at 6PM ET. The increasing urgency of a broad movement led by the poor and most impacted is more apparent every day. Now is the time to organize towards collective action to enact a moral agenda that lifts all people by challenging the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, militarism, ecological devastation, and the distorted moral narrative that ties it all together. The fact that there are 140 million poor and low-income people in the richest country in the history of the world is morally indefensible, constitutionally inconsistent, and economically disastrous. ***************** The broadcast on June 20th and June 21st will be interpreted into Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language) and will be open captioned in English. ASL interpretation will be visible on-screen for the Digital Mass Assembly and March on all digital & TV network platforms. A second ASL Interpreter only-view live-stream will be available in the Deaf Poor People’s Campaign Facebook group and page showing a larger view of the ASL interpretation. Open Captioning in English will be available on a
It is 20 degrees 🌬❄️ in DC today, but that doesn’t stop advocates and Members of Congress from standing up to the cruel U.S. Department of Agriculture Final Rule to cut #SNAP benefits for more than 700,000 recipients. The rule affects the ability of states to waive current limits on SNAP benefits. ✅ CURRENT LAW allows able-bodied adults without dependents, or ABAWDs, to receive benefits for a maximum of three months during a three-year period, provided they are working or enrolled in an education or training program for a minimum of 80 hours a month. States have been able to waive the time limit as people enter and leave the workforce. The rule allowed the waiver to apply even to counties where unemployment dropped as low as 2.5%. ⚠️ WHAT WILL CHANGE: The NEW rule restricts the waiver to counties with a minimum unemployment rate of 6%. This is particularly bad, because SNAP was created to expand and adjust when economic downturns happen. This new rule will defeat that purpose by taking away states' ability to waive its residents' time limit during hard times. For more details, visit theCenter on Budget and Policy Priorities https://www.cbpp.org/press/statements/new-snap-rule-would-cost-many-of-nations-poorest-their-food-aid 🆘 It is utterly unacceptable for the richest country on earth to have 15 million food-insecure households. Hunger is NOT a resource problem, hunger IS a PRIORITY problem. Unfortunately, USDA has its priority WRONG. Speaker: Sister Simone Campbell- ED of Network Advocates, CHN Board of Directors member
💰We get it, taxes are confusing. So much so that sometimes even our leaders don’t understand them. Here’s a breakdown of marginal tax rates and why when Donald Trump and congressional Republicans cut the top marginal tax rate in the 2017 #GOPTaxScam, it was a giant tax cut for the rich and no one else. Tax March Americans for Tax Fairness
This week, CHN Executive Director Deborah Weinstein appeared on both TV and radio to discuss the Trump Administration’s latest effort to cut #SNAP benefits — this time, a rule that would take away benefits from as many as 688,000 Americans. Weinstein appeared on the nationally syndicated Leslie Marshall show — you can listen to the 30-minute recording here: https://www.spreaker.com/user/lesliemarshall/trump-tries-to-cut-3-7-million-americans And she appeared on a shorter segment on Fox News Digital Originals — watch the video below.
