TheVoiceOfJoyce Black Women have been involved for years, trying to obtain clean water and sanitation for millions. Biden’s infrastructure Bill can address this issue , along with clean air. While speaking about infrastructure, there are sections in NYC where the gas has been turned off for a year & Internet service is off equally long. This is the upper west side 80’-90’s . Our Country needs this Stimulus now. New Jobs , retraining and safety nets in place to assure adherence to new standards. Fundamental Change!

TheVoiceOfJoyce The SEIU Union is needed in every Nursing facility in every State. 1.8 million elderly & those associated with Nursing Homes died from Covid. Friends work in facilities where they clean & care for 10 patients, even if they have Covid. Abuse for profit has been happening for years. It’s time for standards of care to be published and enforced. Orthopedic rehabilitation occurs in Nursing facilities , too! It’s tragic. Some facilities don’t have proper dining options and don’t cater to those with systemic diseases. Coupled with Covid, the burden on staff was too great. Nursing Homes require Fundamental Change, Legislation codifying standards of Care. SEIU can show what’s required.

TheVoiceOfJoyce When remembering FDR, remember he ask to include all people in the New Deal. He wanted to help the majority and he wouldn’t stop till they got what they needed. The WPA provided jobs for 15% of the population. He upheld Democracy, flawed as it was , as the best system of government. He developed the NLRB to to create Labor Laws that gave labor higher wages & bargaining power till they were progressively weakened under Reagan & Bush. We need those Laws today. Fundamental change!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Corporations are citizens. They support candidates Thru PACS & directly. Assure the buying public you won’t to contribute to any Legislator who supports Voter Suppression. 28 yrs of Republican control of of States has weakened our civil liberties & access to voting. It’s Enough! We woke and Gerrymandering of all types must end. We the People want fair and open elections, transparent Democracy and equal opportunity. Corporations are now pledging what they have agreed; maintaining ESG’s. It’s not a slogan, it’s the new culture of change!

Democracy. When did Democracy become politicized? The right to vote is every Americans right and Democracy is based on our right to vote! Our American experience is enhanced when we are informed on the issues and take part in understanding how our Institutions work. As John F. Kennedy stated, “Ask not what your Country can … More TheVoiceOfJoyce YouTube #76 Democracy 101 Listen, Comment & Subscribe.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Prison Gerrymandering is worse than you think! If prisoners are counted as citizens of the rural areas where they are incarcerated, these areas get greater representation in Congress. No wonder States are loathe to pass prison reforms. Whoever incarcerates the most, gets more money. Hence, our harsh treatment of prisoners, our rates of recidivism, all designed to maintain a balance of power and crush Human rights, a person’s dignity and justice. It’s absurd. Prisoners, if they’re lucky will go back to their home states. Those states have no money for them? We’ve created our own dilemma. Prisoners should be counted as citizens of their original states unless they declare in writing, they’ll reside in their state of incarceration. Further, politics has now become an incentive to treat prisoners in humanely. They’re only bodies to be counted. This explains our Prison system. It’s designed to be harsh, when Decency Pays. Only changing these Laws, will change racial inequality and racial justice.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Governor Northam of Virginia has restored voting rights to those previously incarcerated. In NYS we’re taking “the first steps” toward decent treatment of Parolees by passing the Less is More Bill. 6 Senators have not signed on yet nor have 76 Assembly members. Why? The Bill asks for humane treatment of parolees, curtails recidivism for minor infractions and requests counseling, not jail time for addiction problems. It’s time to enter the 21 st Century and embrace citizen re entry to society rather than lame excuses to send 7500. Back to prison. Decency pays. There would be a $670million cost saving attached to racial justice.
