 <br />
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
The NEPA Organizing Center to Announce Formation of Local Faith-Based Poverty Initiative<br />
Members of all faith communities and all other concerned individuals are invited to join together in the local fight against poverty. On Friday, November 5, 2010 at 7:00pm, the NEPA Organizing Center (198 South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre) will be the venue for a presentation by members of Union Theological Seminary’s Poverty Initiative, a New York City-based project founded in 2003.<br />
The Poverty Initiative, whose mission is “to raise up generations of religious and community leaders committed to building a movement to end poverty, led by the poor,” presents Poverty Truth Commissions. These events allow people who are in jeopardy due to poverty to tell their stories while prominent religious, academic, and community leaders listen and respond to their testimonies.<br />
Following the presentation, members of the NEPA Organizing Center will discuss with the local Right to Housing Campaign, whose “listening tour” enables people who are facing home foreclosure to tell their story.<br />
This event presents a new opportunity for all faith communities to work together to combat poverty at the local level. The Poverty Initiative believes that it is possible to end poverty – not<br />
merely manage it and that is our moral imperative and theological calling to do so. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>Remember Andrew Breitbart? He was the man who used selectively-edited video to paint Shirley Sherrod as a racist, to smear the NAACP, and to accuse the Obama administration of reverse racism. It was all a big, premeditated lie.</p>
<p>Unbelievably, ABC News now plans to have Breitbart participate in their Election Night coverage, despite his history as a deceitful operative who distorts, lies, and race-baits.</p>
<p>ABC&#8217;s decision is a slap in the face to Shirley Sherrod, to Black America, and to everyone who believes in the value of telling the truth. It&#8217;s unacceptable. It&#8217;s why I&#8217;m joining ColorOfChange incalling on ABC News and its parent company Disney to drop their plans to include Breitbart now:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.colorofchange.org/abc/?id=2192-1312925">http://www.colorofchange.org/abc/?id=2192-1312925</a></p>
<p>The video pushed by Breitbart showed Ms. Sherrod telling a story about how she once was asked for help from a White farmer, and how she didn&#8217;t &#8220;give him the full force of what [she] could do&#8221; to help him, because of his race. In reality she was telling the story of how working with that family to save their farm helped her to lose her racial preconceptions.</p>
<p>Breitbart touted the video as evidence that the NAACP and the Obama administration tolerated racial discrimination against White people, saying that it showed Sherrod&#8217;s &#8220;federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.&#8221; Breitbart&#8217;s doctored video and false storyline moved quickly to FOX News, where on-air personalities called for Sherrod&#8217;s firing. The day that the story became news, Sherrod was forced to resign from her post at the USDA.</p>
<p>The truth is that Sherrod was telling a 25-year old story about her work for a non-profit organization whose mission was to help Black farmers. Discrimination against Black farmers was rampant, and she described how she was first reluctant when approached by a White farmer named Roger Spooner for help (in her speech, Sherrod connects her reluctance to the fact that her father was killed by a White farmer 45 years ago). But after seeing that no one wanted to help Spooner, she worked to save his farm, and eventually became good friends with his family.</p>
<p>Once the full tape was obtained, it became clear what Sherrod was trying to do, and what Breitbart had done. But even after he was exposed, Breitbart refused to apologize, and continued to lie, as well as attack the NAACP and the Obama administration. Sherrod is now pursuing a lawsuit against Breitbart.</p>
<p>All this was actually nothing new for Breitbart &#8212; this is what he does. Posing as a journalist, Breitbart promotes and concocts fake stories and peddles them as news. It was Breitbart who showcased heavily doctored video showing two people posing as a pimp and prostitute supposedly getting services from ACORN (among other accusations). Of course, once it had been determined by legal authorities in several states that the tapes alleging misconduct had been altered and the storyline was completely fraudulent, it was too late: ACORN &#8212; which had a history of registering more low-income African-Americans to vote than any other organization in the country &#8212; had been destroyed.</p>
<p>After controversy began on Friday about Breitbart&#8217;s participation, an ABC spokesperson confirmed that Breitbart would be participating in the coverage. Then, Saturday afternoon, after criticism grew even stronger from inside and outside the company, the executive producer of ABC News Digital indicated that Breitbart&#8217;s role might be even more limited. But ABC is still giving him access to their media platform and endorsing him as a legitimate journalist in the process.</p>
<p>We understand how Breitbart operates, but we expect more from ABC. Their decision to have Breitbart participate is shameful and irresponsible. It&#8217;s important to have opinions from across the spectrum, but you would expect a news organization to at least try to make its platform available to those with some baseline of integrity. In this case, they&#8217;ve sought out someone who has clearly has none &#8212; and whose shenanigans in the Sherrod episode forced almost every major news organization to issue retractions and apologize.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not too late for ABC to do the right thing. Please join us in demanding that they do:</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Spread the word! Come see the show! You can buy tickets online!  Buy Tickets Now<br />
 <br />
Quiet Cowboy an original play by Matthew S. Hinton will run Thursday, January 6 (Pay-what-you-can-preview) at 7:30pm, Friday, January 7th and Saturday, January 8 at 7:30pm and Sunday, January 9 at 2pm.   All performances will be at The Mellow Theatre, 501 Vine St., Scranton. The play will be directed by Dave Reynolds.</p>
<p>Quiet Cowboy marks a first for Gaslight, an original work by a local playwright, Matthew S. Hinton.  Wally is a lone desperado, riding the high country of his home life.  Since the death of his father and the sudden absence of his brother, he has learned how to be a man by following the great film and tv tradition known only as the &#8220;Western.&#8221;  To make sense of his memories means confronting his past and taking the advice of the nameless cowboy of his imagination, who speaks in frontier gibberish, prairie poetry, and Elizabethan mud-soaked patois.  Spanning the history of what is one of America&#8217;s first and last original hero genres, Quiet Cowboy is a tale of family, love, and loss. Part Fistful of Dollars, part Sam Shepard, Quiet Cowboy pays homage to the wide open spaces of the American family. Gaslight Theatre Company is thrilled to be producing innovative new works of theatre, by emerging playwrights. </p>
<p>Matthew S. Hinton is a playwright, teacher, actor, researcher, editor, and all-around handy guy who earned his MA in Creative Writing through the Low-residency program at Wilkes University. He returned to Wilkes-Barre to work on his MFA, which he recieved in January 2010. Since his triumphant return to NEPA, he has served &#8211; under the tutelage of Dr. J. Michael Lennon &#8211; as head researcher on the official biography of Norman Mailer (forthcoming).  He currently teaches in several area schools (both secondary and post-secondary).  His publication and play credits include: An Evening with Joyce&#8217;s Women (ed./design &#8211; Script Works Press), Variations on Ten Rounds (Naissance/Chapbook Publisher), Advertisements for Others (Mailer Review), Linda Goes to Mars, and Quiet Cowboy. </p>
<p>Tickets Cost $10. Students, seniors and groups of ten of more may purchase $8 tickets.  For more information please call 570-824-8266 or  visit <a href="http://www.gaslight-theatre.org">www.gaslight-theatre.org</a>.</p>

<p>On November 10th, the Live Well Luzerne County coalition will launch its Healthy Community Challenge; an initiative focused on improving health and quality of life at the community level using proven strategies and policy change.   The group will challenge conference attendees to plan and implement at least one permanent sustainable change in their community that will improve access to physical activity, healthy food or tobacco avoidance.  Training, mentorship and mini-grants will be available to help municipalities and community groups work together to accomplish these lasting changes in four areas: healthy parks and public places, healthy streets and roadways, healthy community planning and zoning and healthy eating.  </p>
<p>The free half-day Healthy Community Launch is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about making lasting, health enhancing changes in their hometowns: elected municipal officials and decision makers including mayors, council members and supervisors; municipal planning and zoning commission members; borough and city managers; neighborhood organizations and civic groups; PTAs &amp; PTOs, faith organizations; school districts, non-profit agencies, Senior Citizen groups, housing authorities, trail, park and recreation organizations among others.  Launch attendees will be offered the opportunity to apply to participate in the Healthy Community Challenge.  If an applicant group or municipality is chosen they will be assigned a mentor to assist with planning and implementing their project and a mini-grant.  Challenge applicants must attend the launch in order to be eligible to apply to participate in the Challenge.</p>
<p>The Healthy Community Challenge is supported by a grant from the Healthy Northeast PA Initiative and the Pennsylvania Department of Health in partnership with Live Well Luzerne County and the Wilkes-Barre YMCA’s ACHIEVE initiative.  The event will be held in the Stettler Learning Resource Center on the campus of Wyoming Seminary, Kingston starting at 7:30 am to 12:30 pm on Wednesday, November 10tt,   Space is limited and registration is required.  For more information or to register, call 823-2191 x 140 or email, <a href="mailto:carol.hussa@wbymca.org">carol.hussa@wbymca.org</a>.</p>

<hr />Congratulations, Margarita, on presiding over such a fine celebration last evening.  It really honored the migrant education program and was fun  and  a delicious feast at the same time!  Rod, your benediction left us with a blessing.  I assume M. and Bob sponsored the Center ad again &#8211; many thanks.  Once again, it made me proud to be associated with the Peace and Justice Center!</strong></span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>My first  ESL teaching job was with migrant workers in Sweet Valley.  What a memorable experience.  I had answered a newspaper ad to be the assistant but they didn&#8217;t have any takers so they let me teach.  While I did survival English with the workers, Wally and Martha &#8211; still in high school but good in math &#8211; came with me and tutored high school kids in math.   My family always commented on their beauty and intelligence and felt so bad that those students left school early in Texas and arrived after the next school year began; understood why they would just drop out. </strong></span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>So I was especially glad to hear of the fine program and all the staffers and volunteers now working with these kids.  Being honored by the Ethics Institute gives credibility to the program.  Margarita, I enjoyed sitting next to Frances and getting to know her a bit better than just at the Death Penalty group.  She appreciated your inviting her to be your guest.</strong></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>Best to all,  Bev</strong></span></h3>

<em>[The following notice comes from the District Manager for Wachovia/Wells Fargo Bank.]</em>

My regional role includes all of Schuylkill and Northumberland Counties in Pennsylania.

Currently, we are trying to obtain career applicants from bi-lingual persons to meet our growing need to service our

important Spanish customers in the Hazleton (Mcadoo) area.   We are hoping to obtain resumes from those who may

have backgrounds in either a strong customer service industry, sales or who are recent college graduates looking for an

entry level sales position (base pay plus commission position).  In the future we will also look to seek applicants for teller

positions from applicants who speak Spanish.

I would appreciate if you could reach out to your network and direct questions and/or resumes to me asap. 

Wells Fargo is a premier company and one of the largest financial services organizations in the world,

and we value diversity. 

Seeking opportunities to add Spanish-Speaking employees would support our mission and needs.
