Art can add value or enhance any space along with preserving history. However, when it accounts to funding art projects, even the school art teachers must request more funding. Thanks to the Spruce Up Grant, it afforded nonprofit organization Nosreme the opportunity to expand its goals an outreach effort by infusing art and farming this time around. The artist mural voting took place at the City of Refugee and hosted by Greater Baybrook Alliance on Monday evening. Nosreme nurtures connections by supporting the culture-builders of society: chefs and artist. This is such an amazing collaboration and architect Ariana Parrish knows how to create community-building social experiences. A 40 ft. shipping container that once served as a storage unit located in Farring Baybrook Park managed by Black Butterfly Teaching Farm will undergo a makeover with mural design provided by outstanding artist Kennedy Ringgold. "I'm surprised a little bit," Kennedy said of being the winner to enhance the community space. This was a great opportunity for the community to learn the inspiration behind the artist creative works. Like most projects, there are a few phases that must be implemented for the next steps. But securing a winner was the priority and goal for the initial rollout phase. "I am imaging walking my dog and draws more attention and I would look," expressed Mrs. Michelle when observing Kenndy's artistic work.

The Federal Communications Commission held its Open Commission meeting today with a very fierce and forbearing agenda. Furthermore, the itemized agenda wasn't fully activated until now. In 90 years, it is time for the FCC to spark more than a broadband adoption for comments. Commissioner Brendan Carr did signal his disdain for the 11th hour protocols that would enhance more than enforcement rules and regulations for the FCC. The concern arises because of the latency of Congress for 12 years with limited to no spectrum outlooks for innovation which has made the existence of the FCC the subject matter for regulating the entire Internet along with its service providers and sales pitch.
Efforts to promote equal access to broadband internet access services by preventing digital discrimination based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, and national origin. Empowering Survivors of Domestic Violence, Understanding Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Robocalls and Robotexts, and Protecting Consumers from SIM Swapping and Port-Out frauds were a few of the agenda topics for today's meeting discussion. "I hope you have a good lawyer," was one of Commissioner Brendan Carr comments with regards to what the Biden-Harris Administration has tasked the FCC with in the regulations prompts. The Democrats in particular and specific have imposed an authority on the agency which has no interest in regulating such as broadband rates and pricing. According to the Communications Act, Congress was able to distinguish between rates and regulations however, they have forgotten that handle. In 1996, the FCC was striped of rate regulation authority for a more expansive approach. With implementation of Section 6506, new punitive liabilities arise which create barriers to equal broadband access because ISP are compelled to build out infrastructure without compensation. The legal matter is lingering but the statue is clear that price nor affordability were phrases that sparked any fiber optic connection for Congress considering only terms and conditions clauses as they have now tasked the FCC with a vast duty and obligation beyond the broadband spectrum. My curiosity for water purification and quality began roughly 13 years ago. While getting ready for class, I wanted to shower first, and noticed the water was orange. I instantly got a small water bottle and collected a good enough sample to bring to UDC water Quality testing lab for results. Dr. Tolessa Deksissa expressed that lead was in the water which caused the coloration. From that day, my dedication and diligence to aiding water purification systems sparked a keen interest and prepared me for traveling all the way to Indonesia. Now that environmental justice is a major focus point for the Ministry of Inspiration it's time to take a deeper look at the water conditions in vulnerable communities which is critical. The investment made today, can add value to your life when you know the quality of your resources around you. That curosity has been the catalyst for change and expansion while offering affordable services to the public. Water Quality has various benefits but it's nothing worse than bacteria build ups starting to form an organism which has found shelter inside your body. The quality of water you drink can have an affect on your health and now is the time to stop waiting for a city-wide boiling advisory notice to know the quality of your water supply. Don't delay your test, take action now and schedule your water Quality testing today! Now is the time to shift our perception and examine water beyond its molecular structure of hydrogen and oxygen to best identify the benefits as a resource and quality beyond sustaining life. Perhaps, we can even suggest that clean water is a luxury since its access does have limitations. However, much laziness has been lingering on in the puddles to solve water contamination and pollution problems which cause environmental issues along with health concerns. Prioritizing water as a resource and quality can aide tremendously in how we preserve our water supply systems by giving it the attention and investments it deserves. Most recently, Masonville Cove, home to the nation's first Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership coordinated efforts with co-host the Greater Baybrook Alliance and Blue Water Baltimore to ensure that the education, research and investments in clean water is accessible through promoting Community Science Programs. This was also the first urban water community event for Greater Baybrook Alliance spearheaded by Ralinda Wimbush, Environmental Justice Organizer. The Community Science Day was a success. The Baybrook Alliance mission is to act as a catalyst and conduit for equitable development and reinvestment in the Brooklyn, Brooklyn Park, and Curtis Bay neighborhoods and empower the residents to strengthen the Baybrook Community. Furthermore, Blue Water Baltimore provides an array of waterkeeper services such as advocacy, monitoring, restoration and education just to name a few. Why Invest in Water as a Resource and Quality? Why not? It is very simple. Water is a vital resource and the quality can impact not just the environment but also individual's health. Through the Blue Water Baltimore Community Science Program, participants were able to learn exactly how our water supply system functions along with other helpful tips. A pipe is over capacity only when a certain amount of water in the pipe backs up which could also mean that more storm water is in it. A solution to such problem would be creating a spongy city since we are not able to slow the speed of rain. By implementing greenwater storm projects, rain gardens, are ways to reimagine the area. When we identify the problems then we learn what is happening in a particular ecosystem. Unfortunately at the rate new developments are erected minimal investment is pouring back in to clean water and that needs to change. Water in Baltimore moves in the same way since its installation. The tree roots clean the water which recharges the ground and creates a stream. Once that stream is created it is a challenge for the pipes to handle all the rain water which then takes it to the stream. With the MS4 storm drain pipe system, no mitigation is occurring. The municipal separate storm water sewer system is only separate for rain water. The big pipe only provides quality from street to stream so be very cautious of what you put down the drains. Getting Active in the Water Quality Process? Through Community Science Programs such as water sampling that is the start to identifying the quality of the water in that particular location. What is fascinating about water sampling is that not all samples will have the same readings. Some results do return as being above the threshold determined safe for human interaction by the state of Maryland. Many factors can affect such findings like the temperature of the water along with its depth. On a universal level, water as a resource and quality quenches the thirst of many especially on a hot day! The lack of investment in water supply systems has caught up with many corporations leaving the cost to be the critical compound to limited solutions. The days of waiting until sever weather storms arrive to care about water as a resource and quality should be behind us now. Having some consideration for water consumption and what materials harm the systems could help prevent boiling advisory notices. With an auspicious appetite and ambition towards advancing Obama Care or the Affordable Care Act, after all these years it has yet to present any presidential terms in exchange for healthcare coverage compatible beyond 6 months or 3 years. Considering the first four years are the trial-and-error run, however healthcare insurance coverage in 2016 started out as a bundle deal with a benefits exchange period ranging from one day to 6 months use. Then customers would have to reapply for healthcare insurance coverage.
What good is prescription coverage if the healthcare insurance plan can't offer coverage for a duration of 4 years? The healthcare industry has grown more sophisticated. The structure of care, coverage, and co-pays are still serious concerns for customers. Healthcare insurance coverage could also function as registering to vote. The only thing a citizen should be required to do is update their address if it changes from the initial enrollment date. There are many punch lines, quotes, and phrases, but "health is wealth," could serve as the most promising and vital for statics. The better your body functions often allow one to produce more proficiently. Perhaps during the days of the Pharoah, the healthcare industry wasn't as popular but had some future potential. This was after a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment (Matthew 9:20-21). Where did that form of healing run off to? We need that to return especially if health insurance coverage isn't consistent and doesn't last the duration a president stays in office. What did we all do before Obama Care came around only affording an opportunity to change your anatomy. The healthcare insurance coverage for such procedure sure exceeds 3 years. Before the global health emergency pandemic coronavirus elevated to COVID-19 many people keep their personal health problems or information such as vaccination status private. For some puzzling reason it started to pick up a privacy concern when the notices started to populate on social media threads violating all sorts of HIPPA laws. Furthermore, that didn't stop the virus status presentations in hotspot locations. Even members of Congress were recommending constituents beyond their jurisdiction via Twitter to get boosted up. In those tweets, the COVID-19 booster was free at the time of solicitation and social media recommendations with various appeals to citizens from beer to money. A person's healthcare insurance coverage wasn't a part of the curb to stop the spread. However, the aftercare is very critical and concerning since the healthcare insurance coverage cuts off after a length of time which wasn't specified to the customer upon enrollment. If they really had compassion for health of others, then it would show up in the insurance coverage. What metrics or mechanisms is used to evaluate and determine the duration of time for insurance coverage? What are those factors and criteria for consideration of coverage? The first process would be for an application to be successfully submitted on the first attempt for coverage and not seven more times after. The benefit of the DC Health Exchange program is that 6 months coverage would mature to 12 months which would then extend to 3 years and expire. Prioritizing your health is very personal but also important. The ability to participate in a healthcare benefits exchange program is your pursuit of happiness. It does not under any terms or conditions serve as a collective bargaining agreement when insurance expires, and customer must re-certify. Because of the mass marketing and promotion of sexual orientation at an early age is imperative that healthcare insurance coverage starts at 4 years especially if it is a state funded insurance benefits exchange program. Private insurance can at least have a minimum of 2 years. There is a strong possibility you get what you pay for in regard to the healthcare industry and insurance coverage in the US. And paying taxes for health still doesn't measure as fully covered. Preventive care measures aren't covered under insurance policies but they aide in prolonging life. Cycling, hiking, swimming, aren't covered under health insurance but if you get hurt while doing such activities it would help if you could apply your health insurance coverage to any injury. Moreover, not just expanding the duration of coverage but the distance it covers also along with areas of health benefits that are afforded. There are many factors which weigh in your quality of health such as access to insurance coverage, providers, and procedures. Prescriptions are a separate extension of the healthcare plan because without coverage the doctor can still opt-in to see you at a sliding scale fee of 100% the cost and will write a prescription without any hesitation. It's only then when the patient takes it to the pharmacy in hopes they can afford to fill it or has a prescription discount code. Scheduling a doctor's appointment these days is sort of an obstacle course, but it gets really messy when the insurance coverage has expired before you can mention any concerns, issues, or symptoms to a physician. The right to participate in the political process has seen significant progress since the days of affirmative action in the United States of America. In fact, it has become very popular with the moist recent presidential election amassing over 81 million votes. The verdict is still out on who actually won the election but another fair shot to participate is rolling around for 2024. This can also signify that the value of the vote has increased so the "why" should have a better assessment tool for measuring if a bubble is selected for a candidate or not. So long to the typical political party favorites. But if you let a few Democrats tell it, they'll suggest MAGA Republicans have replaced the Whig Party. Either way the parties will make all sorts of promises for your vote so prioritize your needs. Given much consideration that our planetary and environmental needs are changing, that allows for development and growth in the way we engage and participate in the political process. Citizens now have various viewpoints which give them reason to vote in a particular manner. And similar to inflation their point of view fluctuates and sometimes ignites a meaningful conversation- but just like "Everything's an Argument" we can agree to disagree. Is it time to elevate the why in voting? Share your thoughts. Only one person is above the law in the United States of America and it's not you but Hunter Biden6/23/2023 Welcome to the 21st century policing whereas the rule of law has been tainted. But crime pays a lucrative currency format for securing energy deals and if you author crime bills your offspring can get away with sinful and unlawful acts committed in a state- an there are roughly 50 to select from. Not sure how beneficial this will be to the 150 years existence of the United States Department of Justice. But let's be clear many will be able to circle back to that passage of time when the 46th President of the United States who amassed the greatest number of votes more than 81 million, son was afforded the opportunity to participate in all sorts of illegal activity and be rewarded with million-dollar contracts. Awhile demonstrating to the world on a large scale literally how hardcore drugs such as crack cocaine is weighed then used to alter one's mind. The unlawful activity doesn't stop there, its gigabyte drives full found on a laptop along with sexual acts with women while using hardcore drugs such as crack cocaine, and the consent has yet to be reported. The United States Department of Justice was established through the Act of 1789, and Edmund Jennings Randolph was appointed the first Attorney General of the US by President George Washington. Currently Garland holds such position, and many members of Congress are not pleased with the behavior and conduct under his leadership. It is clear and evident in 2023 that the interpretation of crimes committed has been skewed by artificial intelligence because it can't be that you must be affiliated or associated with a specific political party to get away with committing all sorts of crimes. According to the dictionary, a crime is sinfulness, infraction of the laws of God, charge, indictment, accusation, fault, offense. And a criminal is defined as a person who has committed a punishable offense against public law, and person convicted of a crime by proof or confession. Moreover, House Resolution 3355 "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994" introduced by Mr. Schumer of New York became public law 103-322 September 13, 1994, was to expand and improve cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of community to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise to enhance public safety. This is a great example of the actions done since the George Floyd Policing Act was introduced in the House and hasn't been signed into law. In the case of Hunter Biden, the law enforcement didn't have to use any force, but many in the state of Delaware refused to even consider the evidence as a means to bring forth a case like they typically would do for those who have no political tides at such magnitude. The evidence was stored on a laptop and eventually circulated throughout social media networks to expose the drugs, sex, and million-dollar contract agreements made between Hunter Biden the son of the 46th President of the United States. Maybe the crimes are not as large as they appear on social media. Similar to the small lettering on an electric car mirror, but they are meaningful to those who have been directly affected and impacted by the person who authored the Crime bills. And it is the audacity of his offspring granted the authority to break the law at his leisure and desires of smoking crack doesn't look justifiable in either tier of the system, it makes both look ineffective. What type of investment is this? And where can the taxpayer apply for a refund for such transactions while they labor? Where is the march at for such injustices?
Shall we send civil rights activist Al Sharpton a tweet to ask for support because an injustice like this shouldn't be swiftly swept under the radar under no conditions because the term was stipulated in a President authoring a Crime bill that only his son has benefited from. How was Hunter Biden able to get away with all the crimes he committed and those in the hotspot locations classified as vulnerable by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are not able to sell crack cocaine needlesstosay consume it and not face any jail time. Furthermore, the state of California has allocated funding to providing essentials needed to consume crack cocaine. This is the resolution for the problem which persist in that state added with more drugs that have become a public safety concern. The prison market industry didn't gain its prominence through advertising on Twitter to amass such great revenue in North America. It is the system design which has afforded such opportunity. Yes, systems have flaws but to consistently ignore they even exist and to subject others to obeying the law while sons of man such as Hunter Biden can break the law according to his father's rules is not justice and is more of a falsehood and illusion. Where is the accountability in a administration that lacks the ability to secure its borders? Is it an oxymoron that the Judiciary Act established the Department of Justice but not one person knows who job it is to secure the borders and by far that would curb crack entering our country. So many families had to sacrifice to help support their relatives who have been falsely accused of committing crimes imposed upon them, and the only person in North America to reap the benefits is Hunter Biden, the son of the 46th President Joe Biden. We could count on Vice President Kamala Harris using her prosecution skills to examine why the Department of Justice didn't want to take action on the unlawful acts and deals but her plate is full filled with big tech. The criminal justice system in North America received a badge of honor for the most corrupt system by covering up the transgressions of a sitting President's son to avoid persecution. It's like a magic trick was performed on the masses and once the rabbit is pulled out the top hat, half of the American population should just automatically forget about the crack being weighed willfully along with use, and sex parties that haven't expounded upon consent. The verdict isn't in on how much money President Biden knowingly or unknowingly funded these illicit activities and gained the family million-dollar energy contracts. Before Biden's role switched to President from Vice President, many criminal justice experts usually who migrated to North America would give their opinions about the two-tiered justice systems. However, it took for a President who lacks the ability and strength to stand upright and often falls down to witness on a worldwide scale and scope how the system functions. The American public had to gain more clarity of exactly what was in the Hunter Biden laptop for better assessment of "no one is above the law" like former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would say. Or better yet connect to the Meta verse and ask former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division Roy Austin and see if he would like to chat about the misconduct of Hunter Biden. Considering he volunteered for the Biden-Harris transition team it could be a conflict of interest, but his former comments about policing were along the sentiment of after prosecuting hate crimes and police brutality cases in his hay day, Austin relished the opportunity to supervise the division's criminal section - the cases that, "as a baby attorney, I did and loved," he said in a June 2020 article "Diminished to the Point of Extinction: Trump DOJ's Retreat From Police Investigations Draws New Scrutiny." Furthermore, Roy has expanded his baby cases to bigger tech by co-authoring "Big Data Opportunity in Algorithms and Civil Rights." Meanwhile, back in Washington at the US Department of Justice not only failed their own agency but it violated its own mission of existence and shattered all public confidence and trust in the justice system. As if defund the police wasn't a problem for them at first, Hunter Biden just added the proof that as long as your father is in political power you can abuse such authority and position not being held accountable for unlawful acts deemed as a criminal. Is this the reason the outdated extraterrestrial media conglomerates wanted to do away with #factcheck the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris Administration? The United States justice system has some cruel and unusual punishments for people who pursue their happiness, and it doesn't put them in a position to partner with energy companies and gain a function for million-dollar contracts, drug deals and drug use and solicit all these illicit offerings to foreign nationals it will be secured and backed not by the FDIC but the US DOJ. Just classify it as a "job well done, or finishing the job," as Joe and Kamala would often suggest. Equal protection under the law is only stipulated and applicable to those whose parents can author such bills assuming the taxpayer wants to be liable for. In conclusion, justice is the biggest illusion that amasses great wealth for those to abuse its power and authority through actions that would get the average "you ain't black" voters 25 years to life for showing crack on a scale to weigh it not even distribution or use has been factored in that equation. The law is interpreted not on the crime committed but by which party person authored the bill. Similar to a category nine earthquake landing with aftershock sporadically happening, the death of George Floyd highlighted many issues in the United States of America criminal justice system. Along with exactly what community support programs have been established. Ever since the coronavirus global health pandemic mandates have been relaxed. They are no longer minimizing the number of relatives that can attend a family gathering or funerals, so now is the time to figure out how has his death changed the world? Considering this is an opinion piece conducting a SWOT analysis is the best way to arrive at any answer.
The George Floyd movement which spread all the way to Hong Kong was energized by #BlackLivesMatter global network for the mobilizing marches which allows for various scopes of examination starting at the sentiments expressed by activist, and political figures. @Valeisha tweeted "I'm forever changed. Forever." DC Mayor Muriel Bowser directing her frustration to former President Trump tweeted "while he hides behind his fence afraid/alone, I stand w/ people peacefully exercising their First Amendment Right after the murder of #GeorgeFloyd & hundreds of years of institutional racism. There are no vicious dogs & ominous weapons. There is just a scared man. Afraid/alone..." In typical no justice no peace style, Rev. Al Sharpton consoled the family with a phone call. His untimely death was an opportunity for community development to expand for any opportunities, but what programs have been created to even start a honest conversation about the conditions in the underserved communities across the United States? What community support groups have sprung out of all that marching from Hong Kong to Houston Texas? The weakness in the movement is that the conditions which have plague America prior to his death have become more catastrophic with displacement being the best form of intersectionality and inclusion. Those bricks that had been in the streets along the marching routes have been picked up by the Biden-Harris Administration to #BuildBackBetter. Now the message in many social justice movements is who knows what's right, wrong, or what the political argument is since climate change has altered the agendas. The strength of the George Floyd movement was expressed and seen at the #BlackLivesMatter plaza in Washington DC illustrated through displays of artwork depicting injustices in the US and what type of feeling arises through those injustices. That art was eventually collected to be stored in a museum. Luckily, all the artwork survived the church fire that happened near the plaza. Not sure if the congregation has fully returned to the pews but many have lost their faith since then. The monetary system has changed, and not sure Harriet will see the $20 bill. But a more lucrative digital dollar has surfaced since the allege counterfeit twenty dollars was the main reason for police being called on George Floyd. Furthermore, the allege drug fentanyl that was found in his system has surged on the streets with a stronger dose and more potent causing death more rapidly and swiftly. Criminal justice has become a step and repeat brand without any ambassador who could aide in a meaningful solution to bring about change, but ready to chant "I can't breathe, no justice no peace defund the police." Meanwhile, not many wore masks when mobilizing for George Floyd and now the science revealed some adverse reactions to wearing them in the car, house, school, and just about everywhere you went. Did he change the guidepost for #BlackLivesMatter? It depends where they had set the goal. And if homebuying process, was it? Then yes, they achieve that with from an influx of donations. However, it hasn't been clarified if the properties serve as office space to further the movements work eradicating the isms which exist in the American society. The movement was founded in 2013 and is a global organization whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black community by the state and vigilantes.
No Prodigal Son, but energy is big business now that we live in a world which requires an electronic email to verify your identity and existence. Furthermore, the sun is an abundant source of light and heat through rays. The sun also is responsible for growth of crops and their nutritional value based in a soil concentration. Whether you are a consumer of energy or a service provider conservation of output in a sustainable manner is the optimal goal to achieve, and there are iron supplements if your energy levels need stabilizing. Moreover, many should preserve the right to protect their energy from vampires.
Energy is transferred through various mechanisms. And is often exerted through a form of action such as exercising, scrolling social media, or sending emails. Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. And electricity is a form of energy with magnetic chemical and radiant effect or electric current. While a current is the flow of air water or electricity. Have you ever noticed how your energy level and emotions instantly change when you engaged in a particular social media post? The problem arises when you increase or exert too much work on that content shared and it didn't add any value to your current situation. Electronic mail being a form of energy can drain your levels if the tone of the language is received and misinterpreted. Furthermore, the amount of storage required for electronic mail requires lots of capacity for such wide variety in volume. Would you consider 56,ooo or 80,000 promotional emails absurd? Yes, it is especially when the consumer can only delete 10,000 emails in one setting. Besides predictive programming has hurt advertising in some areas and many consumers just use Amazon for practically everything. Electricity is what allows consumers to power their electronic devices to read or send those emails or pay bills. In fact, many have seen a drastic increase in their energy bills but not better service and having to carry the supply burden. During the global pandemic economic reset, the consumption of energy was probably more at outputting levels for electronics and working with some opting to get carry out and not cook as often. And the need for fuel wasn't at high demand because the message was #Stayhome and #staysafe. If anything, a water bill probably increased from #washingyourhands so much. However, all those shakeups and the consumer is still stuck with the burden of carrying the supply of energy to their dwelling without their consent showing up in their bill. Now is the time to question how the consumer can get an accurate reading of usage when a supply surcharge has been added? Many consumers didn't see this coming during the #stayhome phases. Perhaps the Mayors across the United States can assemble a meeting with the energy czar John Podesta and send a mandate to the energy companies to curve the supply charge significantly since many consumers have no other choice for energy service providers in proximity to their homes. At the height of the war on COVID-19, many Mayors wanted to limit the transmutation or transmission of the virus by stopping the spread with minimizing their constituents' civil liberties. Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti even went so far in his mission and state "Today I authorized the city to disconnect utility service at a house in the Hollywood Hills to stop the large parties held there in flagrant violation of our public health orders. Parties like these can quickly and easily spread the virus and put our communities at risk," according to his tweet. Only if the Democratic Party and Republic Party can find some compassion for consumers and these outrageous added costs it would add value to their seats. After all, energy was used to go to the voting stations and cast a ballot. Not to mention having to stand in long lines considering 81 million people participated in the election process. On a local level something could be done such as providing some explanation as to why the consumer is carrying the burden of supply on their backs. At the height of the coronavirus, Black essential workers climbed the corporate ladder and became the epitome of America's first responders during unprecedented times. While the grocery store attendant received various accolades for their unwavering assistance in keeping American's safe and ensure the grocery store experience was worthwhile - even having to stand 6-feet apart. Furthermore, at the rate the grocery store attendant emerged and was elevated in the workforce, Black Farmers were being excluded from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) which was presented to the whole body by President Joesph R. Biden. "We're focusing on the needs, particularly of the most left behind community; the African American community," President Biden said during his chat with the essential workers. Almost similar to Meta, President Joe Biden wanted to know "what's on your mind to move in the right direction." "The Presidents American Rescue Plan, if passed by Congress, will bring an end to this pandemic, and it will invest in you and your fellow frontline workers and all Americans so we can keep ourselves safe and rebuild our economy so that it works for everyone," stated Ambassador Susan Rice, President Biden's Domestic Policy Advisor. This sounds soothing but has yet to be applied in the area of debt relief for Black Farmer's since this Administration isn't bringing forth any legislation which was introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). And this action was during the transition team phase before occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. At the State of the Union, President Joe Biden's speech set the tone as far back as Tabaco farming and sausage making. Black Farmer's didn't know their experience would be more colonial style then having consideration for their grievances. With all the sausage making plans the Biden Administration has been fixated upon, the casing must consist of some debt meat stuck on the belts for packing because the Black Farmers have conveyed their concerns for debt relief but the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack continues to deprive them and ignore their needs. Now many Black Farmers are at a disadvantage with maintaining their farms not to mention their crops. "Small business and family farmers and ranchers- I need not tell some of my Republican friends from those states guess what? You got 4 basic meat packing facilities. That's it you play with them, or you don't get to play at all. And you pay a hell of a lot more- a hell of a lot more because there's only 4," President Biden said during his State of the Union Address. Moreover, through signage of 80 bipartisan bills during his term, President Joe Biden has not one resolution for debt relief as it pertains to the Black Farmers. If it weren't for the famers, not many people would have been able to feed their families. This was before the swelling of the economy where a carton of eggs cost the same price as a hen in some cities. Meanwhile, Bill Gates gets to buy up farmland even if it has been already designated for other family purposes. Certainly, the Black Farmers could provide assistance in driving those cost down drastically, but they have been denied and relief and deliberately displaced from determining how some of their pressing needs will be address by the Biden Administration. The Black Farmers want action. They have grown frustrated at the fascination with how USDA has gain function to forget their farmland deserves continued cultivation for community purposes, livelihood, along with sustainability while maintaining the farm. Furthermore, Secretary Thomas Vilsack is back by Senate confirmation on February 23, 2021, after serving in the Obama Administration. He still has limited to no desire to address debt relief for the Black Farmers. However, according to his leadership, the US Department of Agriculture is building back better by restoring the American economy, strengthening rural and historically underserved communities, responding to threats of climate change while spearheading a transformation of the food system by creating more, better, and fairer markets ensuring that the food system of today and the future is more resilient and more competitive globally. Their priorities have become more like puzzles with missing pieces and the rescue portion not being found. It's a challenge to count the crop or yield when the cost has increased, and farmers were promised relief, but it was reserved for some other random purpose as if all people don't need food. The idea to hold the tabaco farm theory in high regard and demonstrate through their actions which has yet to include a clause for the Black Farmers. Despite their years of frustration and difficulty to keep their farm some farmers have been forced to cut back on production along with their land being reallotted beyond their deed of transfer but remain "too legit to quit," such as Rev. Robert Binion. Through various passages of time, whether the hunting and gathering era phase for the caveman, or the iron age, agriculture has played a vital and very impactful role in sustaining America. Agriculture isn't an augmented reality with chatGTP to aggregate the yields or arrange how the seeds are positioned in the soil. It is the main artery keeping the heartbeat of America bumping. The birth of our great nation is nurtured in the fields of Agriculture across the land of milk and honey. Let's be clear, it's been more than 13 days since the Black Farmers from the states of Michigan, Louisia, Tennesse, and Texas just to name a few, stopped their tractors and tending to their crops for a meaningful conversation on Capitol Hill. But first they had a demonstration in front of the White House, and that way, the Administration can't suggest they lacked awareness of their concerns. Over 60 farmers showed up in unison to demand "we want our check," and finally hold the Biden Administration along with the USDA accountable to their American Rescue package plans and promises. The Black Farmer's had accountability, justice, and finding equity in the promises they guaranteed on their agenda for discussion. Along with keeping the Administration engaged, having more enthusiasm to execute a debt relief package for the Black Farmers. The farmers also want to continue educating the community about the importance of agriculture and the farming ecosystem. Because a promise is more in the category and authority of being a volunteer, the Black Farmers want members of Congress to hear their grievances up close in proximity and personal. Congressman Robert "Bobby" Scott (D-VA) expressed his compassion for the farmers "with regards to justice for Black farmers, I am thankful for the tireless leadership of Senator Cory Booker and Rapheal Warnock who have worked to remedy the centuries of harm and ongoing issues with the farm lending system. When lawsuits closed a door on the farmers that we sought to provide in the American Rescue Plan, my colleagues got to work and included language in the Inflation Reduction Act, that while not as narrowly tailored would not be threatened by lawsuits. We realize that there is still much work to be done to ensure that this is implemented as intended by Congress."
