PS Education

NO Not BS, but PS as in Public Service. There are activists and organizers who have been extremely effective. One individual comes to mind, but there are others and many more are urgently needed.

Tech Book Depository is our way to utilize technology to make free books available for anyone, anywhere who can't afford to buy them. If you are a teacher, a writer, a bookworm, a researcher, or whatever... We invite you to list a title, author and if anyone has it, and donates it, all you will have to do is pay for shipping costs.

The State of Sanctuary

A sanctuary city limits cooperation with the federal government's effort to enforce immigration law. Sanctuary cities reduce the fear of deportation and possible family break-up among those who are in the country illegally so that such people will be more willing to report crimes, use health and social services, and enroll their kids in school.

These policies prohibit public employees from questioning people about their immigration status and refuses requests by immigration authorities to detain people beyond their release date if they are jailed for breaking local law.
