Organization updates corporate identity and brand strategy

The Los Angeles Community Reinvestment Committee, dba Community Financial Resource Center (CFRC), has changed its name to RISE Financial Pathways. The acronym RISE stands for Reach, Invest, Succeed and Earn. The announcement was made during its 2013 Power Luncheon and awards ceremony and 20th year anniversary celebration held recently at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live in Los Angeles.

The change comes as a result of a name and visual identity grant received from the Taproot Foundation.

Los Angeles/Carson unofficial election results

The unofficial elections results reported yesterday for the city of Los Angeles’ District 8 council seat have Bernard C. Parks leading the race after garnering 50.89 percent of the votes (7,934 votes) followed by Forescee Hogan-Rowles who brought in 43.99 percent of votes cast (6,858 votes). Provisional and mail-in ballots that were dropped off at polling places and one precinct had yet to be fully counted at time press, and those could potentially change these results.

Vote March 8th

In some cases, the March 8 elections could represent new directions, and in other cases they may be a call to remain steady-as-she-goes.

OurWeekly’s endorsements reflect both sentiments.

BERNARD C. PARKS
With a little under two weeks left before municipal elections, getting to know the candidates and their stances on issues of importance to you is even more critical. In this continuation of our “Conversations with the Candidates series,” we asked each individual campaigning the same question:

Can you please detail how you will ensure that constituents (from the ordinary resident to those in leadership roles) in the 8th District are involved in helping develop, shape and implement an agenda?

Across Black America

Here’s a look at African American people and issues making headlines throughout the country.
 

Alabama
Freeman A. Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will address the annual African American Business Council luncheon on June 28. Hrabowski, who is chairman of President Barack Obama’s Advisory Commission on Education Excellence for African Americans, has a national reputation for his work studying the performance of minority students in math and science. Hrabowski, named one of the 10 best college presidents in the country by Time magazine, was a child leader in the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham in the 1960s.
 

Arkansas
The Liberty Counsel filed a motion and a brief in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas seeking to intervene on behalf of a Concepts of Life crisis pregnancy center to defend against a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights. The groups seek to impose a permanent injunction before the Human Heartbeat Protection Act goes into effect July 18. Liberty Counsel also filed a brief opposing the ACLU’s request for an injunction. The “Heartbeat” bill states that when a woman seeks an abortion at or after the 12th week, doctors must test for a fetal heartbeat before an abortion is performed and inform the pregnant mother that the child in her womb has a heartbeat. If a heartbeat is detected, a woman cannot have an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, and if a mother’s life is in danger. “As we promised when the legislation was introduced, Liberty Counsel will defend this law without reservation for the people of Arkansas, born and pre-born,” said Matt Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. “No right is more foundational than the right to life. Without life, all other rights are irrelevant,” concluded Staver.
