Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care

After Congress failed to repeal Obamacare, the Trump Administration is now taking matters into their own hands and sabotaging the Affordable Care Act through executive orders. Their latest action will raise premiums and create junk insurance policies with none of the protections that families need.

Watch this video and then call your representatives and tell them to stand up to Trump's sabotage of our health care: 202-224-3121

Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care  #SaveTheACA #Health #Nursing

These back-door moves to undermine health care are stacking up and quickly taking their toll on our health care. President Trump's actions are intentionally causing premiums to skyrocket and could end coverage for those with pre-existing conditions -- threatening the health care of millions of everyday Americans.

Call your Member of Congress and tell them to stand up to sabotage, and we'll hold them accountable for their votes: 202-224-3121

We were successful in preventing Congressional Republicans from stripping away our health care, but we can't let up. We must stop these new attacks and continue to protect our care.

To understand systemic oppression you have to know its history. Watching @Ava’s 13th on Netflix will open your eyes

Take a Knee

"... I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world." - Jackie Robinson, 1972

Many are "more dedicated to order than to justice," offended by kneeling during the Anthem & not by racism & modern-day lynching. #TakeAKnee pic.twitter.com/E23oM1ZW6X

To Trump, the NFL Players are mere property and he is calling out to their “owners” to discipline them for speaking. This sounds familiar.

Trump tried to intimidate the players into not kneeling. They knelt. He told fans to leave. They stayed. Sad!

New Biography of Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson

“Walter Isaacson is at once a true scholar and a spellbinding writer. And what a wealth of lessons are to be learned in these pages.” —David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize

Walter Isaacson, author of a new biography of Leonardo da Vinci, discusses the Renaissance genius' wildly eclectic notebooks that contained everything from landscape sketches to math equations to 'to do' lists.

Jhene Aiko's new album! Listen to 'Trip' here

"Laced with 22 tracks, Trip shreds the public's perception of Aiko and allows everyone to walk into the life of Penny, a nickname she was given by her great-grandfather when she was a child. For the first time, Aiko gives listeners a front row seat and allows them to watch her undergo a whirlwind of emotions, including love, pain, depression and, ultimately, triumph."

- Carl Lamarre, Billboard

RIP Miyagi! 

Happy Earth, Wind & Fire Day! - September

Generation Pink
14”x11” oil on panel 2017

 Generation Pink, inspired by the Women's March held on January 21, 2017, will be exhibited at Art & Home 2017: a benefit for LA Family Housing - hosted by Room & Board in Culver City. 

Along with around 750,000 others, I marched with my family and friends in Los Angeles to show the world that we stand for love, inclusion, diversity, and social justice. Generation Pink is part of a series of paintings exploring the Women's March and the continuing protests in this volatile time. As an artist, I often use my creations as a sort of reflecting device that mirrors and focuses attention on social and political change. As Marvin Gaye sang so poignantly- “What’s going on.” 

 In collaboration with Angeleno magazine, please join us for a special art show at Room & Board in Culver City on September 13, 2017.
Over 100 local, contemporary artists have donated artworks in support of LA Family Housing. (LAFH).
Dedicated to helping families and individuals transition out of homelessness and poverty, LAFH offers a range of housing opportunities enriched with supportive services.

Artwork on display in the showroom will be available for purchase for $400!
If you have always wanted a Chadwick, this is a wonderful opportunity to get an artwork at an affordable price and to support an important cause.

Please RSVP at https://lafh.org/artandhome

Wednesday, September 13 at 7 PM - 9 PM
Room & Board
8707 Washington Blvd, Culver City, California 90232
