Download or read book The Main Street Moment written by Gerald W. McEntee and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and the Supreme Court's landmark Citizens United decision, politicians are targeting working Americans as never before. As American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) President Gerald W. McEntee and Secretary-Treasurer Lee Saunders show, efforts to crush what's left of the working middle class and the American Dream are supported by those willing to stop at nothing to enshrine profits for the few at the expense of the many. But these forces vastly underestimate the power of Americans -- union and non-union alike -- united for economic justice and a vibrant democracy. In fact, AFSCME's leaders argue that the response to the unprecedented attacks on the rights of workers amid growing income inequality in the United States has triggered something extraordinary: the Main Street Moment. From Washington to Wisconsin, Americans are fighting back against the crony capitalists trying to undo a century of hard-won victories for workers. These Americans know that the best bulwark against economic calamity is organized labor. Unions brought you the weekend and the forty-hour work week; unions created the middle class. And now unions must save America from those who would sacrifice democracy for the sake of profit. The Main Street Momentis the definitive manifesto for progressives and working people who know that America can only be transformed if we all stand united.

Download or read book Main Street Melody written by Stephen W. Hoag Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-09-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main Street Melody is an uninhibited, melodramatic novel of love and romance that speaks to the intrinsic sway of ... music. MELODY reveals the power of music. Often, just the first few bars of a tune can revive a memory of many decades ago or almost magically flip an internal switch, changing despair into joy and loneliness into a swath of warmth. No other domain in our society has that capacity and that personal impact. Music, in its many forms, meets the “needs” of every person in every demographic category. The teenage and adult characters in this textured novel of the age of innocence will touch your heart in endless ways from the tenderness of a first kiss, to the nefarious pranks of unfettered youth. In each moment of wonderment there will be music as you have never experienced it before. From the echoes of car radios, to the magnificent sound of a concert band, the creative excitement of a garage band to that singular voice, that when heard just once can never be forgotten. The purported calculable components of life are often capricious, as one can never count on the preciseness of happenstance. Such are the purported necessities of life, food, water, shelter, and clothing. Indeed, each is indispensable but at the mercy of economic and environmental conditions. With all of that to contemplate in the textured world all about us, one element brings forth the dreams and memories of special moments, hope, and love, ... MUSIC. The dramatic conclusion surely will convince you that MUSIC, like love, never fails, and no matter the occasion or the circumstance of life, music makes the darkest moments more tolerable and enhances the zenithal peaks of a lifetime. “Main Street” Melody will capture the fullness of your senses ... and bring music to new heights in your heart.

Download or read book Main Street written by Mindy Thompson Fullilove and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindy Thompson Fullilove traverses the central thoroughfares of our cities to uncover the ways they bring together our communities After an 11-year study of Main Streets in 178 cities and 14 countries, Fullilove discovered the power of city centers to “help us name and solve our problems.” In an era of compounding crises including racial injustice, climate change, and COVID-19, the ability to rely on the power of community is more important than ever. However, Fullilove describes how a pattern of disinvestment in inner-city neighborhoods has left Main Streets across the U.S. in disrepair, weakening our cities and leaving us vulnerable to catastrophe. In the face of urban renewal programs built in response to a supposed lack of “personal responsibility,” Fullilove offers “a different story, that of a series of forced displacements that had devastating effects on inner-city communities. Through that lens, we can appreciate the strength of segregated communities that managed to temper the ravages of racism through the Jim Crow era, and build political power and many kinds of wealth. . . . Only a very well-integrated, powerful community—one with deep spiritual principles—could have accomplished such a feat.” This is the power she hopes we will find again. Throughout Main Street, readers glimpse strong, vibrant communities who have conquered a variety of disasters, from the near loss of a beloved local business to the devastation of a hurricane. Using case studies to illustrate her findings, Fullilove turns our eyes to the cracks in city centers, the parts of the city that tend to be avoided or ignored. Providing a framework for those who wish to see their communities revitalized, Fullilove’s Main Street encourages us all to look both inward and outward to find the assets that already exist to create meaningful change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever gazed up into the coal-black sky of a warm spring night where no moon can be seen and tried to count the innumerable stars of the sky or pondered how far away the tiniest might be? Did you know God created these stars as well as all the ones too far away to even be seen? Have you ever stood along the banks of a mighty river or even a clear, crisp babbling brook and wondered how far did that water have to travel to get to you at just this moment of time? Did you know that God had to place in motion all that was required, perhaps years or even decades or centuries ago, just for that stream of water to be passing by you at this moment in time?In Moments from the Mountainside, author Jack Droste will put you in the passenger seat next to him as he drives up and down the mountain highways through the curves and turns of the back roads of the east and along the super highways of the farmlands of the upper Midwest as he shares the beauties and majesties of God's creative work. However, the greatest beauty to be seen won't be what is seen by the naked eye but will be seen through the testimony of the apostle Paul who wrote in Ephesians 3:18 (NIV) of the depth and width and breadth of the love of an amazing God: one who loves you so much.Come, let's ride together to see what the apostle Paul meant when he wrote, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made..." (Rom. 1:20 NIV).
