Nilofer Ali is a mother of three grown or nearly grown youngster. "We are natives of Chicago who made Dayton home a decade ago. I am a veteran educator who has been in the field of Elementary and Middle School Education for 25 years. I am a second generation American Muslim: my father was a naturalized US citizen of Indian origin, and my mother was an American convert to Islam, of primarily Swedish ancestry. My family has been one that has always engaged in service to the community, particularly as related to the Muslim community, wherever we have lived, and I have continued that tradition throughout my life. Currently, I am the Development Officer at the International Academy of Cincinnati, and the Imam at the Dayton Correctional Facility, responsible for providing Islamic services to the inmates. I also serve as the Chair of the Sisters' Committee with the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, and have also served in other capacities with that organization. I am also working with some other women on some initiatives specifically geared towards supporting American Muslims, exploring the American Muslim experience, and engaging Muslims in this area in the local communities in positive, productive ways.

Subject: Peace Bridge Walk
25th ANNIVERSARY
DAYTON PEACE BRIDGE WALK
"stick with peace"
MAY 7, 2016
Join the Greater Dayton Community for the Celebration of the 25th Annual Peace Bridge Walk. (Walk is ¼ mile-15 minutes max)
We will begin at 10am at Building 20 Sinclair Community College. Building 20 is located at 220 South Edwin C. Moses Blvd. just before crossing to the 4th/5th Street Bridge. Parking available at parking meters (free on 4th and 5th Streets and/or at Building 20 Sinclair Community College)
10:00am: Welcome and Short Program
10:30am: Peace Bridge Walk
10:45am: (2) Workshops at Building 8 Sinclair Community College
1. One Human Family: One Human Family Workshops provides a unique focus for community engagement through the rich heritage stemming predominantly from Gospel music and Spirituals. We seek, through the dialogue portions of our workshops to demonstrate the relevance and applicability of this music, as well as that of more contemporary genres, to today's issues and concerns. By bringing people of all backgrounds and ethnicities together, this becomes a process for opening hearts, thereby encouraging participants to understand each other better, and to engage in forging lasting bonds of friendship. As this is accomplished, we begin to connect with each other in more substantive and meaningful ways in order to create a more cohesive, solution-focused community.
2. Spoken Peace: Jay Martinez- A spoken word artist, host and youth advocate, Jay is a native of Newark, N.J., where he engaged in constant rap freestyle cyphers. He takes his struggles and eloquently recites them with a gritty, intelligent flow. The development of his fast-paced, didactic style stems from his hip hop influences. Jay also self-published a book entitled An Orators Declamation of the Ghetto and a CD titled Universal Language. When he is not performing throughout the country, he hosts two shows in Dayton: Lyrical Lounge open mic at Delish Café and the Metaphorically Speaking slam poetry competition at Therapy Cafe. Jay has organized events for a Dayton City Commissioner, the program director of the Salvation Army's Kroc Center and the Parity Inc. youth group — all in the name of community uplift and awareness through poetry. He is a part of the award-winning video Playing For Change/Where There Is Love, which has received global recognition. He also won best up-and-coming artist at the 2013 Cincinnati Poetry Awards. Participants in this workshop will learn how to apply the spoken word to cultivate a community of peace.

"I could work real hard and have all that stuff, but one of the things I like is not working real hard." Billy Underwood
***************
Get Profit out of Health Care: Until the insurance industry is totally removed from the system, this country will not have adequate health care. Health care only for the rich is not acceptable. Healthcare that causes you to go bankrupt is not acceptable. We are all on this planet together. Until we start helping each other, we will continue to fight each other. The choice is yours!
Gandhi said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your christians, they are so unlike your Christ." The dictionary defines Christian used as an adjective as "Kind, charitable, neighborly." In my humble opinion, it seems it's those who proclaim this is a "Christian Nation," are the ones screaming the loudest against providing everyone health care. How neighborly!
**********************************
If we are granted certain inalienable rights, among them life, why do we have to pay to live? We need food and shelter to live. They should be free. We don't need clothes, so we can either pay for clothes, or go naked. We do need protection from the elements, so a heated/cooled shelter should be free; but if we want to sleep on a bed or sit on a chair, we should have to pay for that, or sleep on the floor. And most importantly, we need health, so healthcare to live should be free. We should have to pay for elective stuff!
I think it must be unconstitutional to have to pay to live.
