October is Breast Cancer Awareness and Education Month - Get Informed!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness and Education Month.  It is also the month for Health Literacy. However, we at OneWorld believe that every day is the right day for Health Literacy and Breast Cancer Education. OneWorld has a more extensive posting for all women on our regular web blog page at: http://oneworldpi.org/blog/archives/1276

By October 21, 2012 we hope to have a new 1-hour education program on Breast Cancer diagnosis and Treatment .  We will be focusing on Diagnosing Breast Cancer in Dense Breast Tissue.  We have a 5 mins 6 secs clip from that video program linked below.  You can also visit this link to see a video clip titled: Understanding the Staging of Breast Cancer: http://youtu.be/dpbw1qCsJrg

A clip from OneWorld’s Oct. 2012 Breast Ca community education program. Yale Breast Cancer experts address the importance of women working with their doctors to determine when they should have mammograms and not be confused by recent US Preventive Services Task Force Guidelines.

African American women often get Breast Cancer at an earlier age than Caucasian women.  http://youtu.be/OeKBE07FX0g

There are several short videos linked to the comprehensive blog.  There is a video for every woman in every age and ethnic group to get informed about the importance of regular monthly self-examination, making treatment decisions and living life after cancer.  We encourage you to visit and make use of this valuable resource linked above.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact

LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.

Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing

With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."

EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant

LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
