Hi There,


My name is Sally and I am writing because as a former Manager of a care home, I learned how demanding and complex caregiving can be. While it can also be rewarding in itself, caregivers need all the help and support they can get.


Now I work as the Content Manager for a small senior care site and I felt it was important we create a full resource guide for caregivers. It covers 30 essential sources of information and support for all kinds of caregivers. I know you are busy, but you can check out the article here: https://www.senioradvisor.com/blog/2017/04/30-resources-to-help-caregivers/.


Recently, I came across metrojustice.org and having read http://www.metrojustice.org/elder_care_helpful_info, I feel this is a subject you would like to cover. I am therefore more than happy to write a brief introduction or summary for you to put on your website.


Please let me know what you think!


Best Regards,

Sally

I am a Faculty Field Liaison with the University at Buffalo, School of Social Work. I am contacting you to inquire whether you would be willing to accept a foundation level, MSW student for placement beginning Sept 2017 thru May 2018.

Is the MJ dinner this week?

We got two copies of the MJ News in the mail today. Please consolidate on one label for one copy only. Thanks. Marilyn and Dennis Wienk, 1760 Blossom Rd, Rochester NY 14610

At the New York Health meeting last night, Sue, who has been doing data entry of the “Vote” cards, said that I could inquire from Andrew about getting training in software that could be used to do that entry from home (with an internet connection). I work with data and would be glad to volunteer. What is the quickest way to get at it? Go ahead and text me if that’s the best way to answer this, but I prefer not to get a lot of texts in general. Thanks!

Are you involved with the women’s march on Washington next week? I want to knit a pussy hat and give it to someone from Rochester who is going. Can you give me a contact? Thanks.

3 of us would like to go to Washington on Jan 21st. Is there still room on the bus and what where and what time would it leave Rochester? Thx, Gayle

Is Metro Justice planning a “Thank you New York State!” event for Dec. 31 when the state’s minimum wage rises? Considering POTUS-elect’s nominee of Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor, we New Yorkers have a lot to be thankful for and can let the rest of the country – or at least our state lawmakers – know it. I don’t see anything on your Calendar page about this. Or are you planning to hold this event in warmer weather?

Hi, I’m sure your organization is aware of this. But, in case you did not know, here’s a link. https://thinkprogress.org/trump-gets-to-decide-where-in-dc-groups-can-protest-his-inauguration-if-at-all-13d9546edde0#.nuqgtt45y

My son and I are planning on taking the MJ bus down to DC for the inauguration. Please contact me with details. We would also like to march the next day in the Million Woman March. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lisa Toth

Will Metro Justice be organizing a bus trip for the Million Woman March to Washington on January 21st?

I am wondering if metro justice has plans or if there is interest to contract buses to go to D>C. for the January 21st Million Women March?

Am thinking of organizing a contingent for the Memorial Day peace & Justice parade. Whom do I contact?

Please confirm the Sierra club half table for next month.

Hello- I believe it is Sammie I am looking for. I was a vendor (gemstone and crystal jewelry) at your holiday faire a couple of years ago. I am interested in doing the same this year. Is it too late to sign up? When is it scheduled and what is the fee? Please contact me (Natural Elements Designs) at 377-9094 or respond to this email.

Thanx much – Susan Steepy, Natural Elements Designs

Please send me an application for the Alternative Fair.


Thanks!

Nancy

Hello,

Is there a bus going from Rochester to Washington for the march of support for Gaza next Saturday? Thanks.

Carla

Sami – you should update the sign-up page for the July 12th event says “TBA” for location

My name is Martha Lightfoot and Jean Douthwright recommended contacting you about a matter that is occurring in our town Sodus Point. I can let you know in more detail what the matter is about. I left a message at the office today as well. My cell number is 585-857-6820 Thank you

I was disappointed and disturbed on hearing that Metro Justice refused to allow Feminists for Nonviolent Choices join the Peace Parade. I understand that protecting the right to choose is a priority for MJ and I appreciate that. I certainly do not want to see a loss of that right. However, some women do make other choices out of conscience and they also have the right to choose. We do not have to agree with everyone we ally with. If our common ground is strong, we can disagree on other issues. The parade yesterday was to remember those who have suffered and died in war, not just in the US forces, but around the world. It was to ask our community to consider alternatives to sending more people into harm’s way. There was an animal rights group marching and I am sure that I do not agree with them on what is probably a major thrust of their belief system. I eat meat and I keep pets. Does Metro Justice agree with them on their issues? Does that mean that I can’t join with them in saying that we want a peaceful world? I did join the Peace Parade yesterday because I wanted to support Wilma. Had I not heard that she tried very hard to persuade MJ to give up the exclusion of FNVC I would have stayed away. I am a Quaker and I believe that each of us sees the truth by our own Light. I don’t know if I would have been comfortable agreeing to the Meeting’s support of the Peace Parade had we known about this exclusion at the time that we were asked for that support. I hope you at MJ think long and hard about this and how you live out your own philosophy and beliefs.

Good Morning,

I am a student at Brockport. I am going to lobby day on the 12th. I was told there is a meeting today Friday March 7th at metro justice. If there is a meeting or not can you please let me know. There is no mention of it on your website. Have a great day.

Jessica

Please publicize to your membership, volunteers, etc. Thank you.


“Emerging Popularity of Public Markets” Tuesday Topic at Central Library

Tuesday, January 14 @ noon

Kate Gleason Auditorium at Central Library, 115 South Avenue, downtown

Free and open to the public

Bring your lunch or stop by Tim Horton’s in the library


Presenters:

Jackie Farrell, Manager, Westside Farmers Market and Metro Justice volunteer

Diane Eggert, Executive Director of the Farmers’ Market Federation of New York

I find it heartening that you want to make sure the Women’s Equality Act passes. As a many decades-long feminist, this is very important.


However, why is it scheduled at the same time as the 16-year major event – Human Rights Day- held every year at the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of HR, in Rochester? Some conflicts are unavoidable, but surely women’s rights are human rights, you are a co-sponsor of this event, and even have a table.


Many of us would have come if this had been scheduled at another time.

Hi folks at Metro Justice,

My name is Devi Jennings and I am with GMO-Free Rochester. We have a website (wordpress) and a page on Facebook under that name. We are affiliated with GMO Free NY and The Institute for Responsible Technology. As you may or may not know, we have a bill here in NY that would make labeling of GMOs in our foods mandatory if it were passed into law. This is definitely an action whose time has come! The biggest battle we’re going to have in getting GMO labeling through the NY legislature is with the Assemblymembers and Senators from upstate, western, and central NY. In order to show these legislators how much support there is in their districts, we need to get as many food retailers, nonprofits, faith-based groups, food/environmental/consumer/public health advocacy orgs, farms, chefs/restaurants! Please contact me or NY GE Food Labeling Campaign Director Stacie Orell at stacieorell@gmail.com to learn how to sign on and join the list. Here are some of the endorsers: http://gmofreeny.net/nygelabelingcampaign.html

I hope we’ll hear from you. Together we can make this happen.

Season’s Greetings,

Devi Jennings

Paula,

When I clicked on the link for council expectations for the new term it did not take me to the site. I am willing to be on council for the 2014-2015 term.

Jo

How do I sign up for a table at the Alternative Fair?
