National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, November 10 - 18, 2012! PLEASE PASS IT ON!!!

For those of you unaware this week may is National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week. For ThePinkBlogger however, I am spreading this awareness ALL MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

As we prepare to give Thanks over the Holidays, please take just one moment to read below about how you may help play an IMPORTANT role to a child or family less fortunate than you this season. Just one kind word spoken such as,"Happy Thanksgiving", "Seasons Greetings" or "God Bless" to the next homeless person that crosses your path can go a looong way.

Please rememeber Hunger and Homelessness plays no bias to race, color, sex, age, religion or creed and is often MISJUDGED by it being that suffering person's fault or by expecting those in that unfortunate situation to look, smell or behave a certain way. Trust me, there are a NUMEROUS "well-kept" persons commuting on our daily paths, back and forth on the same trains, buses and streets, that still have inadequate food and shelter at the end of their work day.

Our children also depend on us. A Hungry Belly is Often A Sad Belly....

ADVOCATE
Advocacy is critical to creating the systemic changes needed to end homelessness. Advocacy means working with people experiencing homelessness to bring about positive changes in policies and programs on the local, state, and federal levels. It means working with various sectors of the community (e.g. city/county officials, members of Congress, direct service providers, and the business community) to develop workable strategies for responding to homelessness. It also means changing your language and behaviors in small ways that may contribute to larger changes in the way people experiencing homelessness are seen and treated in our society.

Become more aware of your language. Try to minimize language in your own and others’ vocabularies that refers to people experiencing homelessness in derogatory ways. By using expressions such as “people experiencing homelessness” rather than labels such as “bum,” “transient,” or even “the homeless,” we remind ourselves that people who are in such situations are still people first—just people who are going through a difficult period in their lives. In a time when they may find it difficult to hold onto their sense of humanity, it is particularly important that we do not use language that further diminishes the dignity of people in homeless situations.

Follow local politics.

Educate your leaders

Involve the media.

Register people experiencing homelessness to vote. ( The “You Don’t Need A Home to Vote” nonpartisan voter registration/education/get-out-the-vote campaign occurs nationwide each election cycle. Find out how you can lobby for homeless voting rights written policy or law in your state. To obtain the voting rights registration manual and poster, contact Michael Stoops, (202) 462-4822 or mstoops@nationalhomeless.org. )

Sponsor a Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. (NSCAHH at (800) NO-HUNGR or info@studentsagainsthunger.org.)

Recognize National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. ( Every year, on or around the first day of winter (December 21), nearly 100 communities nationwide hold local memorial services to remember people who have died homeless during that year).


REACH OUT
Reaching out by volunteering your time to work directly with people experiencing homelessness is one of the best ways to learn about homelessness and help to meet immediate needs at the same time.

Work at a shelter. Take an evening or overnight shift. Help with clerical work such as answering phones, typing, filing, or sorting mail. Serve food, wash dishes, or sort and distribute clothes.

Share hobbies. Teach your hobbies to a group of people staying at a homeless shelter. Ask them about their hobbies and have them teach you.

Invite people experiencing homelessness to a community event. Invite people who are experiencing homelessness to a worship service, public concert or picnic, city council meeting, etc.

Work with children. Assist program directors that are coordinating events such as field trips, picnics or art workshops for children staying in homeless shelters. Find out if there are children who could benefit from tutors or mentors.

Involve others! Encourage your classmates, co-workers, church/synagogue members, or civic club to join or support your efforts.

Rihanna Goes Bare For GQ Mag Cover & Reveals What To Expect On "Unexpected"!

Don't expect Rihanna to be singing "Call Me Maybe" or "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" any time soon. The sexy star — who poses completely naked, save for a cropped leather jacket and strategically-placed hands on one of GQ's Men of the Year covers (the other two feature Channing Tatum and Ben Affleck) — gives a little insight into her brand new album, Unapologetic.

 

"I want to make music that's hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or super sentimental," says Rihanna, who almost got a face tattoo the night before her photo shoot, but fortunately the artist refused. "I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you're going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw."

 

 

And the more X-rated, the better. During the interview, she begins singing "Foreplay" by The-Dream in front of the rapper-producer. "Bitch, f--k the foreplay/I want it now/We're talking straight sex/It's going down," she croons, as she gyrates against her hotel room bed. "You need to write me that s--t," Rihanna, 24, half-jokingly shouts at The-Dream. "No pop s--t. None of that lovey-dovey s--t … It's gotta be tweet, retweet, trending topic!"


Although Rihanna doesn't talk about Brown during the interview with GQ, she did reveal what turns her on in a relationship. "I like to feel like a woman," she explains. "I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead … Love makes you go places you probably wouldn't ever go, had it not been for love."

Kris added that she and Bruce are used to shrugging off ridiculous stories focused on their made-up marital woes.
"We just laugh it off," the reality family matriarch, 57, shared. "We love each other and just laugh about it."

Continued Kris, "These kind of stories have been circulating for the last couple of years . . . We're absolutely not filing for divorce. Everything is great. We feel very blessed as a family. If we had to chase down and comment on every rumor we'd be working overtime."

ATTENTION BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPERS! Walmart Workers Plan Huge Strike On Black Friday...

Numerous reports are now stating that Walmart workers are planning to strike on one of the biggest and busiest shooping days of the year-Black Friday! Workers are planning a massive walk-out in protest of low wages and high health-care costs.

 The protests will include walkouts, flash mobs, and "educating" shoppers on the workers' plight according to a United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) official.

 

"The strikers' diverse complaints center around what they call Walmart's "retaliation" against workers' attempts to organize. The company, according to the strikers, punishes employees who talk about unions or join in labor groups by cutting their hours or finding excuses to terminate them. As the largest private employeer in America and the world, Walmart sets the standards for labor conditions in the retail industry." -(Huffington Post)

The retailer, though, is saying that the strikes are unlawful, merely “tactics being orchestrated” by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, and pledged to protect associates and customers from the “ongoing illegal conduct.”

“This is just another exaggerated publicity campaign aimed at generating headlines to mislead our customers and associates,” a Wal-Mart spokesman said.

As for Black Friday, Wal-Mart said it will have more than one million associates working throughout the holiday weekend and is prepared for the official launch to the holiday shopping season

“This is the Super Bowl for retailers and we’re ready,” the spokesman said. “We’ve been working on our Black Friday plans for almost a year now and we’re prepared to have a great event.”

Workers have also announced impending strikes in major Wal-Mart hubs like Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee and Washington D.C. -(FoxBusiness.com)
