WASHINGTON, D.C. — Unlike in many parts of the world, Election Day in America isn’t a day most people get off from work or school, and it’s not for a lack of trying in the past.“There've been several efforts to make it a holiday, at least for the five previous Congresses, including this one,” said Matthew Weil, who runs The Elections Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center.Those proposed bills to make Election Day a federal holiday have gone nowhere though.Coincidentally, America also has one of the lowest voter participation rates in the developed world, which was about 56 percent in 2016.Over the years, though, some states have made it a state or civic holiday, most recently this year in Illinois and Virginia. In California, state law requires employers to give employees at least two paid hours to vote on Election Day. However, that’s not the case in most places.Weil said whether or not employers need to give you time to vote on Election Day, varies state by state.“In states that don't have robust voting by mail options, or early voting options, Election Day being the only option isn't good,” Weil said. “The good news is the trend has been toward expanding options over the past 10 years.”Those options include early voting, which millions of voters have already done in the 2020 election, including Kevin Jackson in Ohio.“Don’t just wait. Plan your vote,” Jackson said. “Get down here and get it done.”The key to moving forward, experts say, is for all states to offer as many opportunities to vote as possible. Those changes could spread even more now because of the coronavirus pandemic.“I think it's got to be something that we're just not going back to how we used to vote,” said Weil. “I think that this will accelerate changes going forward.”Recently, some high-profile employers like Coca-Cola and Twitter, as well as universities like Brown and American, have decided to give Election Day off to their employees and students, not just so they can vote, but to also encourage them to volunteer as poll workers. 2046

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Navy has fired two senior commanders in the Pacific region in connection with recent deadly collisions of Navy ships, as part of a sweeping purge of leadership in the Japan-based fleet.The announcement comes a day before the top U.S. Navy officer and the Navy secretary are scheduled to go to Capitol Hill for a hearing on the ship crashes.The USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided in Southeast Asia last month, leaving 10 U.S. sailors dead and five injured. And seven sailors died in June when the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship collided in waters off Japan. Two of the sailors were from San Diego County.RELATED: San Diego sailors killed in collisionThe latest dismissals bring the number of fired senior commanders to six, including the top three officers of the Fitzgerald.  832

We're looking deeper into consequences of police misconduct and brutality against minorities, not to overshadow any loss of life, but to highlight the racial systemic issues it adds to, including mass incarceration.“Has taken black fathers, black sons, out of their families and out of their neighborhoods and put them in a situation where even a short jail term leads to long term, lifelong economic consequences,” said Marc Morial, the president and CEO of the National Urban League.Morial spent the early years of his career as an attorney filing civil rights and police brutality lawsuits, defending black cops, and then became the mayor of New Orleans, helping lead an overhaul of the police department there.Morial says it took strong leadership, changes in recruiting, hiring, and training. He even pushed for a rule requiring police to live in the city where they work.“Lesson to be learned, reforming policing is tough and reforming it in a way that is sustainable is doubly tough,” said Morial.According to a University of Hawaii law review article on police brutality costs, African Americans have a higher rate of PTSD than their white counterparts. And that trauma carries over more significantly in work and everyday activities.Loss of life often means children are left without adequate support, the paper added, leaving them to fend for themselves in a school system that often serves as a pipeline to prison instead of a path to higher education.Police misconduct leads to distrust in urban communities and a lack of cooperation on legitimate crimes.Morial says the solution lies in community-oriented policing and funding.“These communities need investments in schools, youth programs, housing infrastructure,” said Morial. “Inner city America has been hollowed out by public policy and private actions. It’s not fair for the next generation. It’s not fair to leave a mess and leave confusion and leave economic in equality for them.”Morial also points to neighborhood beautification, summer jobs programs, and targeted programs for people coming out of jail and prison as systemic solutions. 2118

WEST ORANGE, N.J. – Remote learning is no easy task for typical children, but for families with special needs students, having kids home from school not only makes learning tough, it takes a toll on their ability to get necessary therapies.The Senek family from New Jersey has lived this reality for the past five months. Their 12-year-old daughter, Josephine, struggles with mental and physical disabilities, and during the pandemic, these challenges have become more present than ever.“She’s got multiple disabilities, including a rare chromosome disorder, she’s missing connective tissue in her brain, and in addition, she’s got autism,” said the young girl’s mother, Krysta Senek.Like families across the country, Senek and her family were forced into remote learning because of COVID-19, but she found a totally different education experience between her typical son and her special needs daughter’s classwork and resources.“The at home learning was not good,” laughed Senek. “We did try it, we attempted,” she said of keeping up with her special needs daughter’s assignments and care.“It’s different because we’re mom and dad,” she said. “We’re not teacher were not therapist, we’re not aide, we’re mom and dad. Yet, Senek and her husband were thrust into all those roles without help or guidance in the beginning.“Emotionally, we were wrecked,” she said. “She would meltdown and hit us, she would scratch us and bite us, pull our hair, just throw a meltdown, strong hard screaming meltdowns.”Josephine’s aides were trained for and equipped to handle those meltdowns.In school, Josephine had those professionally trained aides with her throughout the day, but when the pandemic hit, that help stopped. She eventually got some help from a therapist who now comes to assist at certain times during the week. But Senek said the change in routine and change in those around her really upset her daughter’s learning.“It just blew her up, and she couldn’t focus she couldn’t learn, she couldn’t get therapy,” said Senek.For special needs students, the therapy they get every day in school is critical to developing life skills and social skills.“I just don’t want her to go backwards,” Senek said. “When a child with disabilities goes backwards, it takes us twice as long to get us back where we need to be.”Those therapies provide health care too, and now that Josephine isn’t in school, Senek said she’s had a hard time keeping her daughter’s back and leg braces on during the day.“They were getting her to wear it at school, and then because she’s so used to wearing it at school, it wasn’t a problem to put it on her at night, but that stopped,” said Senek. “She hasn’t worn her scoliosis brace since March, and her feet are starting to collapse, so those things are going to affect her.”Senek said the last few months have impacted her own health too.“Our school district and the school, they all thought about what’s best for the kids, what’s best for the staff, nobody thought about the parents,” she said.It’s been the toughest time in her life as a mother.“We suffer from things like PTSD, and I even suffer from that, and it’s because of my daughter. I don’t blame my daughter, but it’s as a result of caring for a child with special needs that I have PTSD,” said Senek.This emotional weight is a feeling Senek knows other families in her shoes feel too, especially when thinking about the future.“It makes me emotional, and it makes me scared because I have no idea what her future is going to hold for her. It’s going to set all of the kids back,” said Senek.It’s a fate this mother fears will alter her daughter’s life forever.“I’m nervous that maybe she would’ve been in a group home, independent, and now, she won’t qualify for independent group home. She might need a nursing home,” Senek said.Thankfully for the Seneks, their teenage son Sheldon is stepping in for the summer to be Josephine’s aide. But this help will end when Sheldon goes back to school himself.“It’s been really nice to physically see her more, but kind of see how she’s like as a person,” said the high school student. “Rather than, ‘Oh yeah that’s my sister, it’s like, that’s my sister.’”Senek is hopeful this fall her daughter can return to school safely or find another aide once her son goes back to school. She warned for all families with special needs students, the time to ask for help is now.“Moving forward, we need the proper assistance,” Senek said. “Regardless of where we are with this pandemic, the special needs population cannot be forgotten, they’ve already been forgotten, and they cannot be.” 4609

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy rebounded at a record pace of 33.1% in the July-September quarter, unchanged from the first estimate a month ago.But a resurgence in the coronavirus is expected to slow growth sharply in the current quarter, with some analysts even raising the specter of a double-dip recession.Last week, the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose to 778,000. That’s up from 748,000 the week before, according to the Department of Labor.The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the overall increase in the gross domestic product, the country’s total output of goods and services, remained the same as its first estimate although some components were revised.Bigger gains in business investment, housing and exports were offset by downward revisions to state and local government spending, business inventories and consumer spending.The Associated Press found that the 33.1% gain was the largest quarterly gain on record, surpassing the old mark of a 16.7% increase in 1950. 1028
