WTF?
Riverside, CA builds things like Aquatic
Pools and what not. We need to be able to support our
family's. not swim in some damn pool. We do not need another
$200,000 new Orange
Terrace Library with a real tree for story time or some water
park that know-one can afford to go too. Funding that's suppose
to be for community
rebuilding and development
is obviously not being directed in the right place. I have a
non-profit
organization and I run into people on a daily basis that ask for
my help and assistance, but I can barely afford my office space right
now because every place I have applied for funding or grants or
donated monies or even Goodwill contributions for my program
attendees first interview day, I get turned down.. How can I help our
community with employment
assistance if I can't get help from my County, State or
Government? I don't have a structured business set up or a Board
of Directors that can really dedicate their time but I do have a
will and determination to provide my community with services and
assistance that they are definitely not receiving from the County of
Riverside. Please take a look at the Riverside County Board
of Supervisors page by clicking here.
I almost cried when I saw how much money is being put into animals
and parks and programs that are in Palm Desert or San Francisco or
even a damn Boxing Gym. We need to focus on what is IMPORTANT here
for our community like the humans before the animals people. Come-on,
I know they are cute and cuddly but do I want to see my neighbor and
his family homeless or a cat or dog roaming the streets or without
food? I do not want to see either but if I had to make a choice,
there is no reason for me to ever have to think twice and that is
exactly what it seems like the Board
of Supervisors and City Counsel members are doing. They rather
beautify the City of Riverside CA. The undesirable people (displaced
or disadvantaged, previously incarcerated) they can lock-up. It will
never work, so we all need to come-up with a real re-development
plan. WTF (Wheres The Funding) Inland Empire? This is a long overdue Blog Page. I believe the community members of Riverside, C.A. need to express their feelings about the promises they get concerning employment opportunities that we hear about on the news and read in the papers. We need to know, Who or what Businesses are hiring our disadvantaged and previously incarcerated and vets as well as young adults in our community? Wheres the Funding? WTF?
LaToya this is a blog that should get ppl of the ie involved. if u find the funds let me know.
ReplyDeleteWOW! you rock girl! This is what Riverside needs, A strong voice with a caring heart and you are it! GOD BLESS!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The Inland Empire region has the highest rate of unemployment in California. Jobs needs to be created and funding needs to be re-allocated to businesses/organizations that help the community as a whole. Great post and keep pushing.
