#PAMFAM #PAM Women of Faith-Stronger Together!

Calling all women: It’s time to take our stand together against tyranny and injustice!
We are women of faith from a wide range of traditions and united by common values.

religionnews.com/2020/09/30/cal…
As racism infects policies ranging from policing to immigration to pandemic response, only an intersectional, multiracial, multifaith movement can undo the damage. As white supremacist domestic terrorists radicalized by President Donald Trump’s rhetoric
shed blood in communities from Charlottesville to El Paso to Kenosha, no racial or religious group can be left to fend for itself.

💪Women of faith are uniting in our shared commitment to human dignity, justice, equality and liberation.
If we cannot do this, the teachings of our Scriptures and guarantees of the Bill of Rights are just words on a page.

The problems we seek to solve are failures not only of values, but also of policy.
The denial of justice for Breonna Taylor. Mass incarceration and deportations, rampant violations of human rights at the border, the disproportionate devastation of communities of color amid the dual pandemics of racism and COVID-19,
record opioid overdose deaths and the spiraling climate crisis are all products of state and federal law and administrative policy.
We believe no matter how you identify or who you love, you are welcome in our congregations and at our tables and you deserve complete equality and dignity in every facet of American life.

We know women have the agency & right to make health care decisions based on their beliefs
their needs and the needs of their families. Moral autonomy regarding the starting or growing of a family belongs to people who bear children, not to politicians.
We demand equal pay for equal work and decry the massive wealth gap that leaves some mothers and children starving and without shelter while a powerful few hoard more than can be spent in a dozen lifetimes.
Every holy text we follow, from the Quran, Torah and Bible to the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, demands a moral obligation to the most marginalized people in society.
Our Scriptures and traditions overflow with examples of lives in service to others in pursuit of justice and mercy. It is on their authority that we stand and reexamine what it means to be faithful at a time so marred by racism, hatred and division.
We are united by our religious teachings to pursue justice, equality and dignity for all.

🗳️We call on all women to unite this November and beyond around these shared beliefs — and to vote accordingly.
Righting these wrongs and defending democracy are inseparable imperatives.

That is why we are working to protect and expand voting rights and the ability to vote safely and conveniently — especially in communities of color.

religionnews.com/2020/09/30/cal…
We are ready to reclaim democracy from voter suppression and white supremacy between now and November.

Calling all women! Let's go!

Dear Michigan...Come October 1st...Blue Cross will no longer waive all costs. They will cover vaccinations.

Many of Michigan's biggest insurance companies will no longer waive all COVID-19 costs...with the exception of vaccinations

Trump Admin protected businesses, not people.

Nursing homes are increasingly seeking to shield themselves from a raft of wrongful death lawsuits from the families of Covid-19 victims by invoking new liability protections they received from Trump Admin.

politico.com/news/2021/05/2…
About 200 lawsuits in nearly half the states have already been filed, and the industry says it’s bracing for many more in the coming months given the virus’ outsize toll on residents and staff.
But an emergency preparedness law expanded by Congress last year limiting health providers’ exposure to coronavirus-related lawsuits — and the Trump administration’s broad interpretation of those protections — are upending litigation against nursing homes.

175 Cowardly House Republicans chose not to "back the Blue" to investigate & hold those responsible for enlisting & inciting the Jan 6th attack.

We won't let them ever forget...neither will Americans & the world who watched in horror,
The Capitol Police aren't forgetting what happened.

Looks like Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell are not "Backing the Blue" after all.

If those are not held accountable for enlisting & inciting January 6th attack...history will repeat itself.

Who/what are Kevin & Mitch covering up?

They're putting more lives in danger/harms way.

We must have a January 6th Commission @AlexPadilla4CA

Republican elected officials and political operators are simultaneously enabling his dangerous corruption and lining his pockets. The latest example of this took place last weekend as the Save America Summit hosted at Trump National Doral.
Women for America First, the dark money group that hosted the summit, was also behind Trump’s January 6th rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

Who knew?
