I am working on developing an alcohol abuse prevention program for young black males (ages 18-40). Does anyone know of some resources I can start with?

Thanks,

Subject: Fwd: Help Us Build a "Wall of Pain" that focuses on health care injustices

Dear Colleagues:

The Health and Wellness Program, Justice and Witness Ministries, National Offices, The United Church of Christ is collaboratng with Congressman John Conyers' office and other denominations, faith-based and grassroots organizations to build a "Wall of Pain."

The "Wall of Pain" will be a compilation of stories, pictures, poems, news articles,etc. that reflect the pain, suffering and hardship that people have experienced/endured because of inequities in the U. S.
Health Care system. The stories will be used to construct a wall display that will be a visual tool to educate and inform law-makers that there is a real health care crisis in this country. A crisis that needs real, workable solutions! And, most importantly, a crisis that the faith community will not let law-makers ignore!

Please assist us in getting this word out to friends, relatives, members of your church and organizations that you are affiliated with and ask them to log onto

http://www.ucc.org/wallofpain/<http://www.ucc.org/wallofpain/>

and send their stories today!

They can also go to the UCC's main page and be directed to this link:

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi all,

does anyone know of anything in California that would assist a working person who makes too much to qualify for Medicare but is to poor to get adequite medical treatment for her asthma? She is a friend without medical coverage or sick leave and cannot afford to get well. Her trips to the free clinic are so much time and trouble that she is getting almost no relief and though she has been given medicine, she is not getting well and cannot afford to take time off of work to rest and recover.

thanks for ANY suggestions,
Robin Gray Ballard
