Houston White Fall 2020

by

I have long been a friend and supporter of Houston White. It started with HWMR (Houston White Men’s Room) and continued on his journey to create menswear collections.  The Summer collection was hot and front and center at our Healing Through Art event at Martin Patrick 3.  I am already loving what I am seeing in the images he sent.  I have my blazer on order.  What say you?

The Houston White brand has been on a journey this year and we have a new collection (see attached) for fall that we want to drop in a special way, with special people. While this is a strange and unprecedented time for us all, we’re seeing some light in the darkness. We’re seeing a long-overdue public reckoning with racism.

We see all different types of good people coming together to create a community amid the many crises we face. And in the spirit of togetherness, we don’t want to just drop this new collection on the site. We’re creating special drop locations for people to [safely] come out and get their hands on fresh pieces that will make them feel good and stand tall.

IAM Delta Fights To Steady Air and Rail Industries

by

More than half of my life has been working in the airlines for one company that completed merger after merger into what is now Delta.  Having seen many things in my lifetime take place in the airline industry, this is something new.  I am sharing this because I am a proud Delta employee and I want others to know I thank them for looking out for my “Family” making sure we are represented in the stimulus bill.

IAM Fights and Senate Passes Bill to Steady Air and Rail Industries

The Senate late last night passed a bi-partisan stimulus Bill that will help stabilize the air and rail industries, protect all airline workers and provide the entire country with much-needed financial relief. The House of Representatives is expected to easily pass the Bill on Friday.
“This critical legislation was almost derailed by opportunists, including some in the labor movement, trying to add self-serving conditions to the aid our members and our industry so desperately need,” said General Vice President Sito Pantoja. “The IAM’s legislative team has been working around the clock, seven days a week since this crisis began with specific instructions that their priority was to advocate for our members jobs, not anyone’s unrelated wish list. Thankfully, with the help of tens of thousands of IAM members who contacted their Senators and Representatives, we succeeded and unnecessary conditions were eliminated.”
It is important to emphasize that the IAM fought for airline workers who are not yet in unions just as they will be treated the same under this legislation as unionized airline workers are.
Highlights of the federal stimulus for airlines:
  • $25 billion in grants and $25 billion in loans or loan guarantees to the airline industry
    – Before labor’s input it was only a loan program
  • The grant funds are EXCLUSIVELY for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits
    – Before labor’s input, this provision did not exist
  • No condition to open CBAs and enter concessionary negotiations to receive grant funds, loans or loan guarantees
    – Before labor’s input, the Treasury Secretary had the power to demand unlimited conditions on receiving federal funds
  • As a condition to receive federal grant funds the carrier must refrain from conducting involuntary furloughs until September 30, 2020
    – Before labor’s input, this important provision did not exist
  • Prohibition on stock buybacks until September 30, 2021
  • Prohibition of dividend payments until September 30, 2021
  • Limits on executive compensation
  • Limits on “golden parachutes”
    – Before labor’s input, these provisions did not exist
“If not for all of Labor, this legislation would not be centered on workers as it is,” continued Pantoja. “It would have been a give-away to corporations and Wall Street. What we accomplished was substantial, but now is not the time to celebrate. Workers are unemployed, businesses are closed and people are dying every day in our communities from the COVID-19 pandemic. We still have an unprecedented crisis in front of us, so our work is far from being done.”

Help… Hallie Q Brown Needs Milk & Eggs

Hallie Q Brown milk eggs club

Hallie Q Brown Community Center just reached out and they need help… For many kids, having a glass of milk with dinner or their afternoon snack is a daily occurrence, but those that receive free or reduced-price lunches during the school year often go without during the summer. Despite the demand, milk and eggs are one of the least donated items at food banks.

Because schools are closed due to the COVID-19 virus, we have leaped ahead to this gap. Milk is the top food source for three of the nutrients most likely to be missing in kids’ diets – calcium, vitamin D and potassium.

Help and donate.  Go to the Milk and Eggs Club page and make your donations at the bottom.

Thank you!

Sometimes you get lucky.  In 2018 I was cast to be in a Fairview Health Services commercial playing a grandfather for the birth of my tv grandchild.  As it turns out the spot was nominated for a Upper Midwest Emmy for Commercial > Single Spot.  It didn’t win, but it’s always nice to know you work with talented people.  That’s the goal.

Shout out to the crew that made happen and me look good.
