10.  JALSA:  Thanking Bob Glassman and Wainwright Bank  (10/5)
==============================================================================
 
 

As Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of   Wainwright Bank, Bob Glassman's vision for how to "do well by doing good" is legendary in our community.  Not only is Wainwright a publicly traded Boston-based commercial bank with over  $1 billion in assets  -  it is also distinguished by its commitment to social justice, which can be found throughout its own business practices and extends to the many non-profit community partners it has encouraged over the years.  As Wainwright now explores joining with Eastern Bank, it is time to thank Bob and Wainwright for their years of dedication to supporting so many of the social justice causes they have championed.


The Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action is proud to recognize the work of Bob Glassman and Wainwright.  JALSA is a Boston-based social justice organization, committed to many of Wainwright's priorities, including defending civil rights and constitutional liberties, and pursuing social and economic justice.  Some of JALSA's recent initiatives include encouraging  green job development; counseling  tenants and homeowners on foreclosure issues; protecting equal marriage rights; and focusing attention on progressive solutions to the economic  crisis.

Weekly Roundup Thursday, August 26th, 2010 In This Issue REVENUE: - State Revenue - Property Tax CIVIC ENAGEMENT: - Women's Equality - Child Health Activists GOVERNMENT REFORM: - Public Transparency UPCOMING EVENTS Quick Links Register Now Newsletter Archive More On Us Dear All, Following on the heels of the national recognition of a number of our local public school systems, news has arrived that our state's education budgets can look forward to a boost over the next four years: Massachusetts was named Tuesday as one of 10 states to secure "Race to the Top" funds, a $4.35 billion pool of education grants that has stoked intense competition among states to adopt federally favored policies and will deliver $250 million to Massachusetts over the next four years. The funds, announced by the U.S. Department of Education, are in addition to $200 million Massachusetts was allotted under a new law signed by President Barack Obama earlier this month to dole out $10 billion in education aid to states. [Full Article: SHNS via Beverly Citizen] The New Bedford School Department is just one example of the many educational budgets in our state hoping for relief: About 80 city teachers were laid off last week to close the School Department's budget shortfall, but school officials remain hopeful that anticipated federal funding will allow them to restore some of those positions. "We are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to bring back a good number of these teachers with this money," said New Bedford School Superintendent Mary Louise Francis. "In the absence of this money, we would be talking very large classes: in the high 30s, 40, that type of thing." [Full Article: South Coast Today] We all agree that each and every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed. And the stability of an educated, productive population means that it is also vital to our businesses that our education system thrives. So how do we make sure our education systems continue to get the support they need? We are working with community activists across the state, and we'd love to hear your ideas. For information on revenue reform and how you can lend your voice to help build better communities, please contact ONE Massachusetts today! Sincerely, Harmony Blakeway Director of Operations, ONE Massachusetts harmony@realclout.org  |  617-999-8469 REVENUE By 2013, a fair, adequate, and stable tax system will be implemented. It will raise sufficient revenue so that state and local governments can fund the array of services needed. State Revenue Tax collections up 6.9% in fiscal year's first 45 days Tax collections over the first month and a half of the fiscal year total $1.96 billion, up 6.9 percent over comparable fiscal 2010 collections.   The numbers are included in a Department of Revenue report on tax collections through the first 16 days of August, which totaled $611 million, up $24 million from the same period in August 2009. [State House News Service] Property Tax Home values down, but tax bills rise Despite dropping home values, Massachusetts property tax bills continued to rise last year. Revenue-hungry cities and towns, looking for money to pay for new buildings and to maintain services, have continued to push up local taxes, often asking voters to approve property tax overrides even as real estate values drop further. [Full Article: Boston Globe] CIVIC ENGAGEMENT By 2013, the voice and input of the state's multi-racial, multi-ethnic communities will create a counterweight to the currently dominant voice and will be tangibly reflected in the public decision making process. Women's Equality 90 years ago women gained the right to vote. A woman is struck down during a suffragette demonstration in 1903 [GateHouse News Service] An article this week explores the rich history of civically-engaged women in Massachusetts: The 90th anniversary "serves as a reminder of both the lengthy struggle that preceded it, and the relatively short period of time that women in the United States have been fully enfranchised," said Anita Danker, a Framingham resident and retired Assumption College associate professor of education.  "I think that Massachusetts women had a more visible presence during the first wave - Lucy Stone, Lydia Maria Child, Abby Kelley Foster and Lucretia Mott were among the most prominent," said Danker... [Full Article: GateHouse News Service] Child Health Activists First crops at Bowdoin Street The Healthy Champions - children farming in association with the Bowdoin Street Health Center are harvesting their first crops, and selling them at the local farmers' market, all to promote healthy eating and heart health! [Full Blog Post: Running a Hospital] GOVERNMENT REFORM By 2013, a transparent, accessible and accountable state and local policy-making process will be in place. Public Transparency Calls for access to ethics forms grow louder The Boston Globe [Tuesday] weighed in on the frustration in dealing with the State Ethics Commission and all its hurdles. It is a drum we [CommonWealth Magazine] have been beating since last fall and now, hopefully, the growing calls for change will trigger action... As maddening as it is for those of us in the journalism business to jump through hoops for what are statutorily public records, the biggest losers in this are members of the general public, who are not getting timely and responsive information regarding potential conflicts from those entrusted with running their government. Full disclosure should mean that. [Full Article: CommonWealth Magazine] UPCOMING EVENTS Sept 1st - State Auditor and State Treasurer Candidate Forums. Voter advocacy organization MassVOTE has pulled together a series of forums intended to highlight contests for state and local offices. Sept 1 - 6:00pm - Reggie Lewis Athletic Center,              1350 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02120 [Map] Sept 17th - The Gastón Institute's 2010 Statewide Latino Public Policy Conference, Securing the Dream: Power, Progress, Prosperity.  The conference will address public policies and organizational practices affecting Latinos in their local communities in the key policies areas, and will take place at the DCU Convention Center in Worcester, MA.
