Did you know that libraries are visited over 1.3 billion times a year which is 10 times more than MLB (68 million), NFL (17 million), NBA (22 million), Hockey (21 million), and Nascar (4 million) combined? Yet, we're begging for funding... action.everylibrary.org/but_nobody_u...

But, Nobody Uses Libraries Anymore...
One of the things we always hear while campaigning for libraries is that nobody uses libraries anymore. But check out the data and you'll see something completely different.

"The requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment." Wisdom from Pope Leo as Illinois recognizes 15 years since we abolished the death penalty — a moral voice in a divided moment that we could all learn from.

Pope Leo affirms support for banning death penalty, marks 15 years since Illinois ban
In a short video sent Friday to DePaul University students, the pope said, “We affirm that the dignity of the person is not lost even after very serious crimes are committed."

The news of violence today comes on the heels of the horrific attack at Brown University, a college campus where young people should have the sanctuary to learn. Watching violence ravage our students, our families, and our faith communities again and again leaves me, and so many, feeling helpless.

Not enough people are talking about this: Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire. I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

VOTE on Tuesday, Nov 4. Local elections matter! Here on Cape Cod, I’m supporting an exceptional candidate - Barry Sheingold for Barnstable Town Council, Precinct 12. Barry’s focus on common causes (water, air, roads, civility) is uniting disparate constituencies. Support your communities. VOTE

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.
