Kamala Harris' Plan to Equalize the Pay Gap: Companies Will Be Required to Obtain an “Equal Pay Certification” and Prove They’re Not Paying Women Less Than Men for Work of Equal Value
"America is the only industrialized nation in the world that fails to guarantee our workers any type of paid family and medical leave. Harris believes that needs to change. That’s why, as president, Harris will fight for the FAMILY Act to provide workers with up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. Fines collected under our plan will help build on the FAMILY Act, increasing the percentage of wages workers receive when taking time to care for themselves or a loved one." more »
Mining the Gold in the Golden Years: I’ll Never Have to Buy Another Ugly Bridesmaid Dress! And When I Fall and Can’t Get Up, that’s an Excuse to Take a Nap!
Rose Madeline Mula writes: These days I hear those three little words often. No, not “I love you,” but “for your age” — as in “You look wonderful for your age” and “You’re so sharp for your age.” Unfortunately, I can’t say that about my memory which is becoming unreliable.

In 1959 the Prince Edward County school board closed its public schools rather than integrate them. Most white students were able to attend private academies for whites only. Black students had to leave the county or go without an education. Not until 1964 did the Supreme Court rule that the county had violated the students constitutional rights and ordered the public schools to reopen. Forty years later a Virginia professor calculated that these five years without public schools resulted in 2,202 black and 258 white youths receiving no formal education in their lifetimes. more »
Elaine Soloway's The Hometown Rookie: Clubhouse, Nomad and Omen Chapters
As I search for clues to my nomadic lifestyle, I often return to that childhood in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood. Was there something way back when family lived down the block, when we romped with our buddies on the concrete streets, when parents sat on folding chairs watching over us — that stuck? Is it familial closeness, comfortable camaraderie, a sense of security that has spurred my frequent quests? Or is the answer much simpler: I like moving, and I have no regrets about any of the 17. So, I hereby announce I will no longer be cowed by my compulsion. more »
