Tell Congress to pass the Renewed Hope Act and fight child exploitation.

Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots.
Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.
Do you notice the blue dots? Probably not. Those are the actual investigations.
Law enforcement needs more resources, more support… a bigger rescue team.
This is a fight of good vs. evil, and we are losing.

With Congress unable to reach a bipartisan agreement to fund federal programs, the government shutdown will soon head into its second month.
While federal nutrition programs have continued to operate thus far, USDA has announced that there will be no November SNAP benefits. This is despite a SNAP contingency fund for emergency situations like this, estimated to hold $5-6 billion, and flexibility to tap into supplemental funds within Section 32.
The following is a statement from our Anne Filipic, chief executive officer for Share Our Strength and its No Kid Hungry campaign:
We are on the precipice of a hunger cliff like never before. For the first time in the history of the SNAP program, nearly 42 million Americans, including almost 16 million kids, are about to lose their grocery benefits, should November SNAP benefits not be issued. This would be an unprecedented lapse in food aid made especially urgent by the rising cost of groceries.
We need our elected leaders to step up and find a bipartisan solution to reopen the government. But let’s be clear: Americans simply cannot go without food while waiting for that to happen.
USDA has the funds and authority to ensure November SNAP benefits are not interrupted. There is a contingency fund precisely for emergency moments like this, and USDA must act immediately to release that funding and transfer available funds to SNAP.
Kids cannot wait another day. Any delay or interruption in benefits will be devastating for recipients, wreck havoc on local economies, and create unnecessary confusion and chaos for SNAP retailers and state agencies.
It is absolutely necessary that USDA take this stopgap measure, but we need a long-term solution fast. With each passing day, the options available to prevent families from missing out on benefits become more limited. Congress must come to a bipartisan agreement that reopens the government and fully funds SNAP and all federal nutrition programs.

This Uber driver, a Black woman Lamiyah Jabbar, age 30, picked up a White woman named Diane, who opened up to her about her financial struggles on the way to work at fast food chain Tim Hortons in Buffalo, New York.
Lamiyah dropped Diane at her job, and instead of picking up a new passenger, Lamiyah drove to a shopping mall to visit several stores and asked women who looked to be about Diane's size what clothes they liked to wear and bought those clothes for Diane along with a gift card.
I emphasized the race of the women in this video because that’s all I see on this platform now from both parties but only when the video makes either race look bad. We can also show the good in both sides.

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
Ronald McNair was 9 when a South Carolina librarian told him he could not check out books from a segregated library in 1959. Refusing to leave, a determined McNair sat on the counter while the librarian called the police, as well McNair's mother. The police arrived, told the librarian to let the young boy have his books, and McNair walked out alongside his mother and brother.
McNair went on to earn his Ph.D. in physics at MIT and became one of the first African Americans selected as astronauts by NASA, alongside Guion S. Bluford, Jr. and Frederick Gregory.
McNair's first spaceflight was the STS-41B mission, aboard the "Challenger" shuttle. He successfully maneuvered the robotic arm, which allowed astronaut Bruce McCandless to perform the first space walk without being tethered to the spacecraft.
On this day in 1986, the second space flight for McNair would be his last. He, along with six other NASA astronauts, were aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded 73 seconds after takeoff in 1986. Everyone on board the shuttle was killed.
Today, the library in South Carolina where McNair was refused books is named after the heroic boy determined to make a difference.

May we all have convictions fierce enough to vocalize injustice for others who lack power. May we each possess the courage and passion to stand up for the voiceless until everyone else cannot help but listen and unify to change it!
