GOOD NEWS YOU CAN USE!-

Did you Vote? Did you complete your Census Information?

Are you participating or just sitting on the sidelines complaining?

Change has come.

The Pandemic has changed the way we feel about hugging and kissing people in the future. The Black Lives Matter protests have changed how we view people in the world and how people will view us. I don't know about you but I feel our children will have opportunities we could only imagine.

New York City is now in Phase 2 and we are now able to be served outside by restaurant staff, shop inside retail outlets and go to beauty and barber shops. I walked the streets of Harlem yesterday and noticed many of the small businesses have not come back yet and as I spoke to some of them they said they were not ready yet. I also noticed quite a number of "For Rent" signs.

Black Lives Matter: Civil Rights of Our Children

L

ast Week Children participated in a Black Lives Matter protest at Gracie

Mansion. As protests against police brutality continue for a ninth straight day, many student activists across the city are calling on

officials to shift funding from the NYPD to programs that support youth. The calls come as New York City Council members grapple with how to balance a budget that’s facing a $10 billion shortfall in tax revenue due to

the coronavirus and the economic devastation that’s followed.

In addition, students say it’s time for schools to cut ties with the NYPD by removing the police who serve as campus “safety agents.”

Instead, they want to see

the city invest in schoolbased mental health and restorative justice programming.

There have been calls for “counselors not cops” for years, and de Blasio announced a new agreement with the NYPD last year to reduce ar-

rests in schools while emphasizing conflict resolution.

Hundreds of teachers and principals have signed a letter demanding investments in education, ethnic studies, counselors and anti-racist curricula.

Hearts of Fire

S

By: W.A.Rogers

ummer 2020 began on June 20th.

Ancient Taoist masters developed wellness theories for each season utilizing the Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Fire. Fire is the element of summer. For those who wish to use a proactive approach to health, I will discuss a few Taoist concepts for

summer health maintenance. These concepts will be of great importance during this summer.

The Heart is the Yin organ associated with the Fire element of the summer season.

The Small Intestine is the Yang organ. Mars is the planet associated with the color red.

Love and joy are positive summer emotions while hate and impatience are negative summer emotions. I find it interesting that the planet Mars has been associated with red as well as the act of war by many who had little to no understanding of these ancient Taoist concepts.

Heart attacks are more common in the summer and emotion plays a major part. Negative emotions such as anger and impatience can be a greater risk to the heart in the summer.

Negative emotions also create problems for our small intestine. The small intestine is the digestive tract between the stomach and cecum.

Absorption and digestion are not the only functions of the small intestine. According to Taoist theory, the small intestine also helps the body digest unsettled emotions.

During the hot summer months, negative emotions such as anger, worry, sadness, fear,

and impatience should be avoided as much as possible. If the small intestine becomes overloaded with negative emotions, it can become unhealthy. An unhealthy small intestine can cause hormonal and menstrual problems for women. Mucus can also develop in the lungs and cause back pain and varicose veins.

It is important not to allow yourself to be controlled by your emotions. Keep your emotions separate from yourself because they do not define you. Do not allow fear, anxiety and anger to lower your immune system during these summer months for it is not healthy.

Consider your body as the chariot and your emotions the horse. The

mind should hold the position of the driver.

If you find yourself trailing off of your life journey’s path and lost on an uncharted road, you have lost control over your horses. You must regain control, pull the reins. Relax and lead your horses back to your life journey’s path of health and spiritual growth.

Remember, April 4th of 2020 was the beginning of the new Age of Aquarius. Things will get better in this new age of enlightenment, but to get the true flavor of change, things will have to be shaken up.

Not unlike a jar of juice that has been sitting on the shelf for a while. All the true flavor settles on the bottom of the jar. To regain the true flavor

of the juice, one must shake the jar.

The world is being shaken now, but with faith, love, compassion, and patience, I believe we will soon begin to see the true flavor of the new Age of Aquarius. This is a time of self-discovery, a time seeing clearly with 2020 vision, a time of truth, and most of all, a time for self-love and others.

Love, Joy and Respect are the positive emotions of Summer.

Hearts of Fire create love’s desire, takes you high and higher to the world you belong. “The Way of The World” by Earth Wind and Fire. A message I hope we all can embrace this Summer as part of the new normal.

HERBS ARE NATURES MEDICINE . . Fibroid Freedom

By Zakiyyah FIBROID FREEDOM is something too many of our sisters are seeking. We need to realize that they don't just show up by themselves. What we eat, drink, feel, think and speak – all feed into our states of imbalances and degrees of disease. One way to prevent their return—and often how to avoid surgery in the first place—is to adopt a natural prevention and treatment plan using herbs. Women can eliminate/reduce their fibroids with the use of herbs, so that they are easier to live with.

RECIPIES FOR THE WOMB DOUCHE: my douche formula includes Red Raspberry, Comfrey, Yellow

Dock, Mugwort, Yarrow and Golden Seal.

TEA: Gravel Root, Red Raspberry, Squaw Vine, Red Clover, Sanicle, Peony, Bupleurum, Echinacea and Cramp Bark.

CAPSULES: False Unicorn, Red Raspberry, Cramp Bark, Skullcap, Golden Seal, Ginger, Kelp, Pipsissewa.

You can use a healing GREEN CLAY for pain, fibroid tumors, cysts, vaginal discharge and itching, by applying clay over the womb area (overnight) AND inserting 1tsp of clay (wrapped in gauze) in the vagina (for 2 hours).

One can also address internal pain throughout the body by drinking 1tsp of

healing green clay in 8oz of water/juice (as necessary). . . . MAKE NATURE'S MEDICINE YOUR OWN This information is to help you balance your natural healing energies and is not intended as diagnosis or cure, nor as a substitute for medical supervision.

any Americans are feeling the effects of job loss and furloughs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For people with a chronic condition, loss of insurance coverage can create additional stress during this uncertain time. However, it’s vitally important for them to stay adherent to their medication to maintain their health and to reduce their risk of complications from COVID-19.

Fortunately, there are ways that people can obtain their medications affordably and predictably even if they have lost coverage.

One program is called Express Scripts Parachute Rx, which offers deep discounts on prescription medications, capping costs at $25 for a 30-day supply of generics, and $75 for a 30-day supply of select brand-name medications for eligible customers. There are more than 40 brandname medications and thousands of generic medicines available through the program, treating reproductive health, as well as conditions such as asthma, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease, migraine, non-opioid pain management, seizures and thyroid conditions.

PHOTO SOURCE: (c) cekimdeyim / iStock via Getty Images Plus

The program, which is available for a limited time, is not health insurance and does not require an enrollment fee or commitment to participate.

Get discounted medications delivered to your home To take advantage of the Express Scripts Parachute Rx program, visit www.express-scripts. com/parachuterx to view the list of available medications, eligibility requirements and restrictions. Once you’ve checked medication prices, select the home delivery option.

Also, if you are an Express Scripts’ plan member who is losing coverage, you can transition your prescriptions to Parachute Rx by contacting the number on the back of your prescription card.

Pick up medications at your local pharmacy

There are more than 50,000 retail pharmacies, including national chains such as Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid, and thousands of grocers and local community pharmacies that are participating in the Parachute Rx program.

Your local pharmacist can check if discounts are available for your prescription, or you can visit www. express-scripts.com/ parachuterx. Additionally, customer service is available seven days a week at 877.644.0212 to answer any questions you may have about the program.

Affordable access to medication can help you come out of this crisis healthy and ready to return to work. For those whose lives have been upended by this pandemic, there are programs available that can offer a softer landing.

“We Are Power: How Nonviolent Activism Changes the World” by Todd Hasak-Lowy REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor

Y

ou put a lot of work into your sign.

When you were done, what was once the side of a cardboard box suddenly became a note to the world – but as you were making it, you have to admit that you wondered if one cardboard sign was going to make much of a difference. You were protesting, but who would notice?

Read “We Are Power” by Todd Hasak-Lowy, and wonder no more.

There you were, sitting in History class last year, thinking that there were So. Many. Wars. Right, but get this: history is much more than that. Hasak-Lowy says

that history is also about “conflicts of a different sort....”

Take, for instance, the movement for suffrage: women in the early part of the last century had zero rights. Zero, but they wanted to be able to vote more than anything. It took women like Alice Paul years before protests and marches gained them (and us!) that right but the entire time, they stayed the course. Yes, it meant sacrifices, both physical and mental, but Paul and her sisters stuck with the plan.

Mohandas Gandhi used the word “satyagraha” to describe intentional, firm, truthful, and forceful nonviolent action or resistance.

Gandhi embraced satyagra-

SUDOKU ANSWERS

ha when he peacefully organized 300 million Indians against British rule, knowing that there was strength in numbers.

Though he was a twenty-seven-year-old “inexperienced pastor” who’d been tapped to lead a boycott he’d barely had opportunity to grasp, Martin Luther King realized that nonviolent resistance was dangerous, but worth it. It was courageous, not cowardly.

And just a few years ago, a small braid-wearing teenager stepped to a microphone to address world leaders about climate change and the urgency for doing something solid about it. By her courage, Greta Thunberg became a satyagrahi, and brought

nonviolent activism to the forefront of the 21st century.

Here’s the first thing you should know about “We Are Power”: it’s not a planner for anarchy and it’s not a how-to book; if anything, it’s a how-not-to book.

Indeed, through stories and a few period photographs, author Todd Hasak-Lowy shows young readers something important about making change: that when an individual becomes part of a wellthought-out, peaceful collective, things can happen without warfare. There’s a reason, in other words, that it’s called “NONviolent activism.”

For the teen who’s a bit on the pessimistic side, or

is eagerly ambivalent about involvement, that can be

Harlem Community Newspapers | June 25. 2020

inspirational, even exciting – and yet, Hasak-Lowy doesn’t get cuddly about the realities: activism is hard work and sometimes literal pain, and it might take years to see the fruits of one’s labor. History shows that activists like those in this book have braved danger, but it also shows that steady, insistent confrontation works.

For the 10-to-14-yearold who’s been riveted by recent news or activities in their hometowns, this book will inspire and inform, and it will help them find parallels between yesterday and today. They’ll want “We Are Power” for its truth and its comprehensiveness, so find it. For the future of all, that’s a good sign.
