The bill backed by the Trump adminstration and the Koch front group\, Concerned Veterans of America would expand private healthcare vouchers at the expense of the VA healthcare system and give unprecedented powers to the VA secretary to make drastic changes\, including authority to outsource/privatize services of VA healthcare without oversight or congressional approval. \nWith the firing of VA Secretary David Shulkin for not advancing a privatization agenda quickly enough and with continued disarray within the Trump administration in finding a replacement for Shulkin\, we believe it is the worst possible time to give Trump such powers to change VA healthcare. We will be demanding that Senator Duckworth and Durbin hold the line against these terrible bills and vote no on these bills and other efforts to privatize the VA. \nRSVP by emailing Right to Heal or join the events on Facebook Right to Heal Hearing at the Jesse Brown VA & Save the VA Press Conference at Federal Plaza. \nVeterans & VA Workers\nUnited to Save the VA!

A surviving witness of Domestic Violence\, Sylvia believes that what we’ve experienced is meant to be shared to help others realize their purpose in life. She knows what it feels like to endure\, yet overcome adversity; as a child\, growing up in the Stateway Gardens housing project in Chicago\, Illinois\, watching the physical abuse of her mother and ultimately the shooting death of her father. The effects of the violence manifested in low self-esteem\, low self-confidence\, inferiority\, bitterness\, and shame. Sylvia overcame the negative effects of the past and teaches others to do the same. \nAngela Martin \nFormerly of Gospel Radio Am 1390\, Angela Martin’s media career at Crawford Broadcasting\, Clear Channel and iHeart Media spans over 18 years of sharing love\, joy\, inspiration and ministry to millions of people around the world. In 2011\, Angela’s love for prayer\, compassion for women\, and submission to God’s will\, impressed her to organize a monthly prayer meeting. Onederful Prayer convenes every first Saturday of the month at New Zion’s Upper Room; centrally located in the heart of Chicago IL. It’s designed to train and demonstrate the power of a woman’s personal dialogue with our Father God in\, Jesus’ name. Women of all ages\, ethnicities\, and denominations gather together for the Onederful Prayer experience \nMonique Caradine-Kitchens \, The Overflow Coach \nMonique helps women fix their relationship with money so they can stop worrying about it\, stressing over it\, and chasing after it and instead\, start manifesting more than enough of it. After having money drama of her own for many years\, Monique sought the help of a coach from one of the top personal development companies in the world. That coach helped Monique begin to re-write her money story so she could finally embrace her inner millionaire. Since 2012\, Monique has mentored hundreds of women entrepreneurs on how to make money doing what they love. Monique worked as a radio and television personality. She has won many awards and has interviewed high-profile celebrities\, politicians\, and business leaders. \nBe Inspired to Come into What Can Be \nReceive “on the spot” coaching to help you get unstuck.
