BY ROELLE BALAN PHOTOS BY BILL VETERAN PHOTOGRAPHY The best way to love is freely, without judgement or restrictions. Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) is here to make sure your intimate relationships are healthy and peaceful. SAVE was founded in 1976 as a grassroots organization by a group of women in the Tri-City area. Their goal was to help victims of domestic violence, when someone close to you is abusive in order to gain power. The abuse can be physical pain, emotional suffering, or stalking by a close family member, friend, or romantic partner. In 1976, there were no shelters to protect a victim of domestic violence. Now, SAVE administers an emergency shelter for domestic violence sur- vivors; a secret address protects residents. “Sometimes the abuser will go looking for them; if they know where they live they can harass them or do worse,” said SAVE Director of Development Paula Manczuk.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    Our Mission The Arc promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes. 2 Dear friends, Equity. Opportunity. Access. Inclusion. Community. These are more than just words – they are some of the ideals we live by throughout The Arc’s network. This year’s annual report highlights the array of ways we are promoting and protecting the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Through our programs, our powerful chapter network, and our public policy and advocacy efforts, we are working alongside people with I/DD and their families to make a more inclusive society a reality in all aspects of life. Our work has been going strong for nearly 70 years. We’ve made great progress, and proudly share with you our 2018 accomplishments. Thank you for being a part of our past, present, and future as we strive to fully achieve our mission. Fred Misilo President The Arc’s Board of Directors Peter V. Berns Chief Executive Officer The Arc 3 The threats to Medicaid took shape with the Administration Advocacy in Action: allowing states to propose in plans for how their Medicaid program would run to include work requirements in order for Facing Challenges and people to be eligible for Medicaid. The Arc opposes this approach Advocating for Our Rights because many people with serious health conditions require access to health care services to treat those health conditions, The Arc has a long, successful history of public policy and and to maintain their health and function.

  • Directory of California Ethnic Media, Which Lists Almost 300 News Outlets — Print, Broadcast, Digital — Across the State
    NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Ethnic Media Services, founded in 2018 to sustain and build on the work of New America Media, is pleased to publish our Directory of California Ethnic Media, which lists almost 300 news outlets — print, broadcast, digital — across the state. We are grateful for the support of key partners including California Black Media, ImpreMedia, Hoopa Radio, and the Center for Community & Ethnic Media, in compiling this list. The Directory aims to expand access to the sector at a time when communicating with California’s diverse communities has become more urgent than ever amidst the rollout of the 2020 census, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic turmoil it has generated. This Directory is a work-in-progress — in today’s highly fluid media landscape, we will update the online information monthly. Thanks to support from the Complete Count Committee Office 2020 Census and several national funders, we were able to expand our research and discover ethnic media platforms we never knew existed: podcasts, radio stations, weeklies, online news sites serving newly settled immigrants and long-siloed ethnic groups. The takeaway from our daily interactions with the sector is that despite the collapse of the business model that has decimated all media, the ethnic news outlets are determined to survive to inform and advocate for their audiences. Some of those outlets have been in opera- tion for decades while others are much newer. Their resilience is inspiring. Their role in creating an inclusive communications infrastruc- ture for this state is indispensable. We look forward to replicating the California Directory with a national listing of our ethnic media partners later this year.

The rhetoric attached to disabled bodies makes them seem negative, while the rhetoric attached to abled bodies is positive. This negative rhetoric applies to visual rhetoric as well, resulting in disabilities being largely ignored in the fields of advertisement. As they are now finally being incorporated, this brings up certain questions about the issues regarding the exploitation and representation of people with disabilities.
