"He Made Me a Watchman, Upon a City Wall"
The Holy Day of Christmas with its message of peace stands in
stark contrast to the mood in Washington. Members of the
House of Representatives have left to wrap presents and place
them under the tree. The Senate, now in session, is eager to do
the same. Both houses will likely be back before the end of the
year to undo the “gifts” House and Senate negotiators are
offering the American people: $42 billion in budget cuts and a
$453 billion defense spending package; drilling in the Artic,
reductions in student loans and more cuts in welfare benefits.

Welcoming the “Stranger”
Many immigrant women arrive in the United States to seek a
better life for themselves and their families. Unfortunately there
are not many laws to protect immigrant women from the many
challenges they face when arriving to the U.S. Currently there
are two major proposals in Congress that seek to provide
immigration reform. In addition, urgent action needed is to
reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Reading, Writing and Raspberries: Food and Nutrition in U.S. Schools
Every day, more than 26 million children in over 99,000 public
schools across the country eat lunches subsidized by the
National School Lunch Program. Good nutrition promotes
education because children learned better when they ate better.
However, much of the food available to American children in
school fails to meet their nutritional needs.
