About Revelations-Reflections " A Social Media Conversation"
Our goal is to empower POC (people of color) by identifying resources to be utilized to build health and wealth. Our voices at the voting polls, grassroots organizations, boards, and commissions will make an impact on the implicit and explicit biases in governmental systems. We will #bethechange we want to see in ourselves, our homes, and our communities. #4BlacknBrown2
What's currently going on with the Pittsburgh regional transit budget issues affects us all. Most impacted by the service cuts and fare increases are our neighbors, friends and family whose income is below $25,000. If we are our brother's keeper we need to be about the business of contacting our political officials. Have we really become a people unconcerned about the next person? I pray not -but it certainly looks that way.
As I sit here on my back porch, pondering solutions to the dilemmas we face every day. I have to ask myself what am I doing to help my neighbors, my friends, my family? What am I doing in my neighborhood, my community, my city, my county and my state. Is voting enough? Do I have a sphere of influence? Am I expected to do anything? Should I do anything? Is there anything that can be done? I am civic minded. I am active in my community. I'm not active in my church, but I should be. I'm not active in my neighborhood. I do speak to my neighbors (those who seem receptive ) I do believe in being neighborly, as a matter of fact, one of my neighbors is 92 years old, I take her garbage can back from the street after the garbage has been picked up. Her caregiver sets it out on Tuesday. Our pick up is Friday. It's the little things that make a big difference. Her caretaker told me someone in the neighborhood was putting dog excrement in the can! She asked me if I wouldn't mind moving the trashcan back to the house so that that wouldn't happen. It's a small thing to do and I'm able to do it but certainly there are some other things that I can be doing, should be doing and as I continue to ruminate about it, I will come up with something that I can do that's going to hopefully join with thousands upon thousands upon thousands of other Allegheny county residence to stem the tide of Pittsburgh Regional Transit cuts to services and fare increases. Let's stand with our residents who depend on Pittsburgh regional transit. Contact your state representative today !

You do know Politicians work for you right? That's the whole point of Democracy
The entire point of government is " rule by the people" that's us, we get to decide what we need the government to provide. Because we are all as different as snowflakes, we must choose people and positions to speak for us, that's a daunting task to be sure, but we must do it! It's not as simple as it may seem, and there are more than two political machines to be sure. The original premise was Republic and Democrat, where one says pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and the other says we're here to help. Who's right who's wrong? It's for us to decide at the polls. There you have it now GO VOTE !!!!!
