I want to point to the symbolic value of these accreditation programs, because it reflects on all our staff. First, all our staff want to do well and be recognized. They also have 125 bosses who often say exactly what they don’t like or want to improve. That may be part of the bargain with congregational polity, but it also means there are a !

MAY 2014 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS Happy Spring! I am looking out my window onto blooming trees and flowers. The little maple in the Zen Garden is covered in buds, and green things pervade. Did anyone other than me doubt it might come this year? I spent some time reflecting, as the winter seemed to drag on and on, that people in ancient times who prayed to gods and created rituals to make sure that the seasons continued to turn in the circle of time might not have been too far off-base. My logical brain knows that spring will come again. My heart felt as if Lauren Strauss, it were in the throes of everlasting winter. But spring has sprung again! DRE April was wonderful! The Coming of Age retreat to Ferry Beach was a weekend full of laughter, friendship, and joy. The Youth Service… I can’t say enough about our Youth. Please remember to tell the Youth Group if you were impressed by last Sunday’s service, because they were the planners and implementers. I was quite proud of my Video Editing prowess though. It’s nice to grow new skills sometimes. May will be full as well. The Whalemingos (grades 5-7) will be embarking on a few weeks of fun learning activities before classes end on June 1. We’ll honor one First Mentor candidate who wasn’t able to join us in the fall on May 4, and a new batch of participants will begin meeting with their Mentors on May 11 to get ready for their ceremony in the fall. The Coming of Age group has its tour of historic Unitarian Universalist sites in Boston on May 10. Throughout this month they’ll be writing their Credos/Statements of Belief in preparation for their service on June 8. Regular RE classes end on June 1, which will also be Teacher Appreciation day and the RE Open House. That’s a day when you all will have a chance to come for a brief time into the classrooms and hear what our kids have been learning about this year. While you’re there, take a moment to appreciate the adults and teens who give their time every week to make sure the children have loving, caring people in their classrooms, giving them a chance to explore their ideas in a safe, fun environment. UU Youth like the fine soon-to-be high school graduates we saw Sunday morning don’t get that way in a vacuum. Our teachers( parents and other volunteers, many of whom have no education or theology background(provide a safe and loving place where our children can grow, explore their ideas about faith, and feel cared for. We are the gardeners, carefully tending our crops, and when they bloom into wonderful, energetic youth and young adults, the whole world reaps the benefits.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.

    A Dream Denied: The Criminalization of Homelessness in U.S. Cities Photo courtesy of castanet.net A Report by The National Coalition for the Homeless and The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty January 2006 ABOUT THE NATIONAL COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS Founded in 1984, the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) is a private, non-profit, national advocacy organization that exists to educate all levels of society in order to identify and put to an end the social and economic causes of homelessness. NCH is the nation’s oldest and largest national homelessness advocacy organization, comprised of activists, service providers, and persons who are, or have been, homeless striving toward a single goal – to end homelessness. It is the mission of NCH to create the systemic and attitudinal changes necessary to prevent and end homelessness, while concurrently working to increase the capacity of local supportive housing and service providers to better meet the urgent needs of those families and individuals now homeless in their communities. NCH focuses its work on four policy areas: civil rights of those who are without homes, housing that is affordable to those with the lowest incomes, accessible/comprehensive health care and other needed support services, and livable incomes that make it possible to afford the basic necessities of life. The strategies we use to implement our mission are: litigation, lobbying, policy analysis, public education, community organizing, research, and providing technical assistance. For more information about our organization, membership, and access to publications such as this report, please see the form at the end of this report or visit our website at www.nationalhomeless.org Board of Directors Bob Erlenbusch Cheryl Barnes Roosevelt Darby, Jr.

  • Wobblies of the World: a Global History of The
    WOBBLIES OF THE WORLD i Wildcat: Workers’ Movements and Global Capitalism Series Editors: Peter Alexander (University of Johannesburg) Immanuel Ness (City University of New York) Tim Pringle (SOAS, University of London) Malehoko Tshoaedi (University of Pretoria) Workers’ movements are a common and recurring feature in contemporary capitalism. The same militancy that inspired the mass labour movements of the twentieth century continues to define worker struggles that proliferate throughout the world today. For more than a century labour unions have mobilised to represent the political- economic interests of workers by uncovering the abuses of capitalism, establishing wage standards, improving oppressive working conditions, and bargaining with em- ployers and the state. Since the 1970s, organised labour has declined in size and influ- ence as the global power and influence of capital has expanded dramatically. The world over, existing unions are in a condition of fracture and turbulence in response to ne- oliberalism, financialisation, and the reappearance of rapacious forms of imperialism. New and modernised unions are adapting to conditions and creating class-conscious workers’ movement rooted in militancy and solidarity. Ironically, while the power of organised labour contracts, working-class militancy and resistance persists and is growing in the Global South. Wildcat publishes ambitious and innovative works on the history and political econ- omy of workers’ movements and is a forum for debate on pivotal movements and la- bour struggles. The series applies a broad definition of the labour movement to include workers in and out of unions, and seeks works that examine proletarianisation and class formation; mass production; gender, affective and reproductive labour; imperialism and workers; syndicalism and independent unions, and labour and Leftist social and political movements.
