    Èd imigrasyon – Plan Preparasyon pou Fanmi esansyèl pou enkyetid imigrasyon yo

    Resous Imigrasyon: Plan Preparasyon pou Fanmi

    Pou ede fanmi ki gen enkyetid sou ranfòsman imigrasyon, patikilyèman nan konsiderasyon posibilite pou depòtasyon an oswa detansyon nan gadyen legal yo ak enpak la ke li te kapab gen sou pitit yo, biwo Gouvènè Connecticut la te devlope yon bwat zouti itil ke gen moun ki ka itilize.

    Pa gen okenn pri pou itilize nenpòt nan dokiman ki nan bwat zouti yo, epi ni avoka ni aksyon tribinal yo bezwen.

    Si ou enkyete w sou sa ki pral rive pitit ou yo si ou yo te arete oswa depòte, ou ta dwe fè yon plan preparasyon pou fanmi an. Nou espere ke ou pa janm gen yo sèvi ak plan ou, men gen yon sèl ka ede diminye estrès la nan inatandi la.

  • SNAP Proposed Changes- Contact Your Senator

    SNAP Proposed Changes- Contact Your Senator

    🧾 Major SNAP Changes in the OBBBA

    🏛️ Cost-Shifting to States

    • Current system: SNAP benefits are fully funded by the federal government.
    • Proposed change: Starting in 2028, states with payment error rates above 6% must cover 5% to 15% of SNAP benefit costs2.
    • Impact: States may face hundreds of millions in new costs, potentially leading to benefit cuts or program withdrawal3.

    🧑‍💼 Expanded Work Requirements

    • Able-bodied adults without dependents must work 80 hours/month up to age 64 (currently capped at 54).
    • Parents with children over 14 would no longer be exempt.
    • Exemptions: Pregnant individuals, some Native Americans, and those medically unfit for work.

    🧮 Administrative Burden

    • States would also see their administrative cost share rise from 50% to 75%.
    • Eligibility reviews would be required twice a year instead of once, doubling the workload for local agencies.

    🍽️ What This Means for SNAP Recipients

    • Reduced access: Millions could lose benefits due to stricter eligibility and state-level cutbacks7.
    • Food insecurity: Food banks warn they cannot absorb the increased demand if SNAP is slashed.
    • Older adults: Those aged 55–64 may struggle to meet new work requirements, especially amid age discrimination in hiring.

    Imagine Our Votes Decreasing = SNAP Decrease

  • Target, The Boycott and the Big Payback

    Target, The Boycott and the Big Payback

    When a leading Black faith institution accepts a corporate donation, the impact reverberates far beyond the sanctuary walls. That’s exactly what happened when the National Baptist Convention (NBC) accepted a $300,000 contribution from Target—setting off a storm of controversy that now grips the intersection of faith, finance, and social justice.

    At the heart of the backlash is a simple but profound question: Can a faith-led community afford to accept support from a corporation accused of retreating from its public commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion? For some, the answer is a resounding no.

    With Pastor Jamal Bryant leading a 40-day boycott, joined by voices like Roland Martin, critics argue that the Convention’s partnership with Target signals a troubling willingness to exchange moral clarity for modest funding. While NBC President Dr. Boise Kimber champions the donation’s potential for scholarships and community programs, detractors view the gesture as emblematic of performative allyship—especially when juxtaposed with Target’s $4 billion in annual profits.

    This moment isn’t just about a donation. It’s about trust, integrity, and the challenge of maintaining prophetic witness in a corporate age. The stakes are high—and the questions raised here ripple across every pew, boardroom, and pulpit concerned with justice.

    • He Lives – Understanding the Messiah: Beyond Translations and Texts

      He Lives – Understanding the Messiah: Beyond Translations and Texts

      @23:36—References to the Messiah appear in the Old Testament: Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 5:6-7 and 53, Micah 5:2, Psalm 22. We’ve all heard the theories—King James had his reasons, whether for control, personal gain, or just the eternal human urge to edit what’s already been written. And yes, a million versions have followed.

      BUT—and here’s the part that transcends translations—if one is open to seeking God and developing a relationship with Him, the Holy Spirit will guide the reader. If we approach the text purely with our intellect (or lack thereof), we get caught up in discrepancies, errors, and linguistic gymnastics—from Greek to Hebrew to English—and end up blaming James for everything.

      In the end, the understanding isn’t just about words on a page, but about the spirit behind them.
