TO ALL ASIAN-AMERICANS AND VETERANS:

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HAS CAUSED A RIFT BETWEEN ALL MOTHERS AND POOR, IRAQI, PAKISTANI, PALESTINIAN IMMIGRANTS, WHO ARE MOTHERS LIKE ALL MOTHERS, NERVOUSLY SHARPENING SCHOOL SUPPLY PENCILS EVERY SCHOOL YEAR. SOCIAL EXCLUSIONS WITHIN THEIR OWN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES FOR THE GLBT, BATTERED, SINGLE MOTHERS, VETERANS, HAS CAUSED A HIGHER RATE OF SOCIAL ISOLATION.

THIS LEADS TO MORE DATE/ACQUAINTANCE RAPE, MARITAL RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN MOST HOMELESS, IMMIGRANT MOTHERS. PLEASE FIND ALL PTA MUMS TO BRING THEM TO A SCHOOL SUPPLIES FAIR EACH MONTH. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE CHILDREN WILL NEED NEW EYEGLASSES, SHOES AND CLOTHING ALSO. I AM CERTAIN THAT MOST POOR, IMMIGRANT MOTHERS COULD USE TUTORIAL SUPPLIES FOR THEIR NATURALIZATION EXAMS, AND TO BE ENROLLED IN FREE ESL/ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE LESSONS FOR ADULT.

THEY FREQUENTLY DON'T HAVE BILINGUAL SOCIAL WORKERS. IT'S CRITICAL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELORS, ALONG WITH PTA VOLUNTEERS, TO ASSIST THEM IN SIGNING UP FOR THE FREE/SLIDING SCALE HEALTHCARE, AND VACCINATIONS, EACH WEEK. SOMETIMES, THEY HAVE TO CARE FOR MORE IMMIGRANT RELATIVES, AND EVERYONE IS SLEEPING ON HARD FLOORS, BEING BITTEN BY RODENTS, IN LOW-INCOME HOUSING.
