Add Your Name: Accessible, affordable child care for all.

 

DAVID - Mothers are the backbone holding our communities together and yet they have unreasonably borne the brunt of the pandemic’s impacts day after day. And so, after a year of incredible endurance, mothers around the world are at a breaking point. Mothers, caregivers, and child care workers need our support. They need a government that understands that care work—both paid and unpaid—is just as important to the country’s infrastructure as bridges and roads. Throughout the pandemic, women have been more likely than men to drop out of the workforce or reduce their hours, largely due to care responsibilities. On average, women do three times as much unpaid care work as men and make up the majority of the world’s underpaid care workers. The truth is that moms everywhere have bailed out governments and businesses through their unpaid labor caring for children and other family members during this crisis at the expense of their own wealth, health, and wellbeing. Those employers who don’t offer paid sick or family leave have left so many of us in an impossible position of deciding whether to care for our children or keep our jobs. We can’t have an inclusive and robust economic recovery without an affordable and accessible child care industry and a society that recognizes the critical value of unpaid care work. Join us in calling on Congress to ensure affordable child care is accessible to all >>> If the last year taught us anything, it is that governments and employers see women’s work as dispensable and women’s unpaid labor as a given. Governments and businesses have failed our mothers and caretakers with woefully inadequate policies and protections that have set women’s progress back by decades and will ultimately cost us all with a slower path to recovery. Mothers deserve better. Moms have been supporting our communities, economies, and governments for so long. It’s past time for these systems to support them too. Our mothers deserve this—today and every day.

Yes, DER FUHRER TRUMP IS RAISING MONEY FOR THE RUSS-PUBLICAN PARTY. TREASON, SEDITION, CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, BOGUS ELECTION RESULTS WON'T STOP THIS HITLER/STALIN WANNABE FROM TURNING THE U.S. INTO

A FASCIST PARADISE.

But wait? The GOP has been active the last few weeks, doing its very best to undermine and destroy our Republic. Where, and from whom, have they been getting funds for operating expenses? The NRA is no

longer the AUTOMATIC CASH COW IT ONCE WAS. Perhaps we should consider the following: 

DONATION LAUNDERING.

I'm sure that most of you are familiar with the legal term: MONEY LAUNDERING. It is a crime defined by BLACKS LAW DICTIONARY:

What is MONEY

 LAUNDERING?

Term applied to taking money gotten illegally and washing or laundering it so it appears to have been gotten legally.

For example: Organized Crime will often take funds obtained through EXTORTION, ( Often through Protection Rackets, where businesses pay a fee to the local arm of a CRIMINAL SYNDICATE TO BE ALLOWED TO EXIST AND REMAIN OPEN.) TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES THROUGH LEGAL AND VALID BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS.

Since These "TRANSACTIONS," funded through a Criminal Act, are used to LEGALLY PURCHASE REAL ESTATE OR OTHER BUSINESSES, The Money has now been "cleaned" or "washed." The seller has sold something Legally, and how the cost of the purchase was obtained is usually not relevant, (Unless the Seller had Knowledge of the Source of the Funds, and a Charge of "Conspiracy" can be proven.)

Now how can this be applied to the SUBJECT OF "DONATION LAUNDERING."

U.S. SENATOR TOM COTTONS COMMENTS SUPRISE YOU? REALLY? THE BEST/OR WORST REPUBLICAN QUOTES FROM THE TRUMP ERA. #1.

5/17/2012.

ARKANSAS REPUBLICAN US Senator Tom Cotton suggested that The Associated Press was colluding with Hamas after the Gaza building housing the organization and other media outlets was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.

"Why is the Associated Press sharing a building with Hamas?" Cotton asks, as if he's just "gotcha'ed" the AP. "Surely these intrepid reporters knew who their neighbors were. Did they knowingly allow themselves to be used as human shields by a US-designated terrorist organization? Did the AP pull its punches and decline to report for years on Hamas' misdeeds?" After his outrageous accusations, the dangerous senator wraps it up by trying to put the Press on the defensive. "I submit that the AP has some uncomfortable questions to answer."

311/2021.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is being called racist for an interview in which the white Republican said he wasn’t worried about the predominantly white supporters of President Donald Trump during the deadly insurrection at the Capitol, but that he might have been if they had been Black Lives Matter protesters.

In an interview Thursday with syndicated radio host Joe Pagliarulo, Johnson said of those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory: “Even though those thousands of people that were marching to the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, and so I wasn't concerned,”
