Now its just a matter of getting parents to sign on. I think many parents are afraid to bring their child back to child care facilities until the shelterinplace order is lifted. Also, many parents moved out of the city for this period of time. Child care centers have been able to remain open for families of essential workers or children in vulnerable groups. This new government web portal lists all available centers. As more parents go back to work, at seabird, they said its not their responsibility to check a parents work status. We have availabilities. We would like our existing students to come back as soon as possible, as well as we open to the new students. So seabird told me they actually need about a dozen students to open this friday.

Ape is it marked a turning point for gay and lesbian politics. America has its first openly gay senator. Plus lgbt votes helped make the difference in a tight president ial race. Only 3. 5 million votes separated the candidates. And yet, it is still legal under federal law in america to discriminate in hiring in employment on the basis of Sexual Orientation or identity. These are forgone conclusions for people of color and faiths but for the Lgbt Community the fight still rages on. With me tico, welcome to the show. Its great to go back. Eliot especially after youve had this year. One big win after another what made this happen . This years election was a turning point for americans and our movement for fairness and for justice under the law. And i think president obama has proven once and for all that elected officials can take a strong stance in favor of lgbt fairness a ....
A political battle is shaping up in america following the death at the age of 87 of the Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a champion of womens and minority rights. Donald trump says hes likely to put forward a woman as his nominee next week. But his democrat rival joe biden insists the decision must wait until after the november poll. Heres our north america editorjon sopel. No, not the death of a rock star or a movie legend. This spontaneous vigil in washington last night is for a judge. The Supreme Court plays a Critical Role in American Life and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or rbg, became a cultural icon. It was beyond my wildest imagination that i ....
