with foreigners here arguably is the best. Besides members of Japanese National Team, the school has trained many other Japanese students, as well as students from Norway, Korea, the United States, and many other countries. Most of CFZ staff speaks enough English to deal with language barrier. If a group feels that it needs an interpreter, the staff has access to interpreters but recommends that visitors bring their own.As we get closer to 2017, one thing is clear: If we care about the progress we've made, we've got to step it up.OFA organizers and supporters have been fighting for years to push our country forward on everything from health care reform to climate change. And thanks to efforts like those, we've led the world to a historic global climate agreement and helped more than 20 million Americans find affordable, quality health coverage. We've watched marriage equality become a reality, thanks in large part to decades of organizing.But our hard-fought gains are on the line. We've got to keep strong if we're going to stand up to those who would roll it all back.This Saturday's end-of-year fundraising deadline will help us determine just how strong these efforts can be. Be a part of this -- chip in whatever you can today to help build the fight.If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:Quick donate $5Quick donate $15Quick donate $35Quick donate $50Quick donate $100Quick donate $250Or donate another amount.We'll be facing some difficult challenges in the coming months, but I'm more fired up than ever to fight for what's right.Why? Because I'm incredibly proud of all we've accomplished together so far, and I know we're not done yet. Rolling up our sleeves is not a foreign concept for OFA organizers and supporters. And the momentum is growing. Just last week, hundreds of people who will be hosting community action events joined an OFA call to learn best practices for getting their friends and neighbors organized -- and more than half of them had never organized anything like this before.We're not just building for the short term, but for years to come. We've been training the next generation of change-makers and community leaders and giving people the resources they'll need to create change. And we're not going to back down just because the fight has gotten tough.Whether you've been involved with this movement in the past or are just getting started, your support matters. And it matters now more than ever.The coming fights won't be easy, but you can help keep this movement going strong.

artist.Resilience is concerned with distilling the present moment of these artists lives. The theme of the exhibition has been explored in depth throughout the past months by means of a unique engagement between the artists and the curator. More attention has been given to every decision, challenge, accomplishment, or setback that takes place as the awareness of vulnerability within this unfamiliar world has become more acute.These female artists exude resilience through artworks that forge possibilities of expression. The combination of patterns, colors, motifs, structures, materials, shapes and techniques reveals their progression and adaptation to an environment that little by little they absorb and turn into their source of strength.ResilienceWhen you see yourself as your physical body in outline moving against a background that does not belong to you, that is the effect of being lonely in a foreign land. You may find yourself traveling along busy streets, surrounded by people entering and exiting buildings and vehicles, transporting objects, exchanging words, yet your body is distinct and separate from all others. Against the sidewalks and storefronts of the foreign land, the contours of your being come into focus and you see the limits of your self, where you begin and where you end, all that is part of you and all that is not. Back where you came from, your body is indistinguishable from others. There bodies flow into each other even without contact. Invisible limbs link one to other so that you cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. There you are folded into the landscape and risk disappearing among all familiar things, living and constructed. In the new land your form affirms its integrity and from within you can watch it in motion.Once you know yourself to be encapsulated in your body, now your only true home, you start to observe the effects of the outer world on its surface. Your path is full of obstacles and as you knock up against them you bruise. Your form repeatedly comes under pressure as you navigate your new surroundings; you are stretched, squeezed and dented at every corner. No hugs and kisses. But you observe in yourself a malleability that you never knew you possessed, how quickly you deform and reform, your contours unbroken.(Coming back to my apartment a pink note on my door with the careful handwriting of the property management agent, to let me know that the telephone company had delayed the installation of my telephone until the following Tuesday. Tuesday I stayed home but the doorbell did not ring. On Thursday a new pink note confirming re-scheduling for one week from the next Tuesday. One week after that Tuesday another pink note re-scheduling installation for the next Thursday. Over many months, the pink notes arrived one after the other and I pasted them into a notebook, one next to the other, then one on top of the other until the pages were layered and stiff. The phone company is confirming installation for next Thursday. The phone company was unable to install your phone on Tuesday and will re-attempt
next week).From confinement in the self comes output. The loneliness of entire days without even hearing the sound of your own voice yields to industry. Your body starts producing material outside yourself, developing satellite bodies to accompany you; expanding your territory by making things to fill it. You become a heavier load to carry so you move less, sink deeper into your ground and keep working. You accumulate more and more material; you have many heavy objects to carry up to your 5th floor walk-up. You now have enough material to lay the ground outside of yourself. Making a new home feels like a daily battle. There is no time to be wasted and no time for patience. You free yourself to give yourself to your work. And you work to free yourself. You spread and occupy, use and incorporate your surroundings. As you expand, the outside approaches and the city creeps toward you. Your edges soften and blur, demarcations fade, surfaces are permeated and spaces are penetrated. Absorbing and absorbed, you can no longer detect your limits. You even miss the mix of fear and courage that propelled you in your loneliness, knowing it cannot be reproduced in this world. But you made it.- Courtney Smith On View: December 8th, 2016 - January 11th, 2017Opening Reception: December 8th, 6 - 9PMEmma Thomas GalleryWell -- it's here.The new Congress held session for the first time today, and its leaders have pledged that their first priority is going to be repealing Obamacare. The press is reporting that they are going to start as early as this week.We are not going to let that happen without a fight.If they are successful, nearly 30 million people could lose their insurance, and rates would increase for millions more. That's not progress. That's not O.K. This law is too important to too many people -- we can't let it be taken away.We're collecting signatures of people who are willing to do what it takes to stop Congress from repealing Obamacare.Defend Obamacare right now. Sign the petition and we'll be in touch about what comes next.The Affordable Care Act is the result of a hundred years of struggle to ensure that everyone in America has access to quality, affordable health care, and we will not let it go lying down.President Obama signed health care reform into law for a good reason: Too many of our neighbors, friends, and family members were going without health insurance -- rolling the dice that they'd stay healthy -- just because they couldn't afford it, or because insurance companies were denying them coverage based on some pretext or pre-existing condition. We cannot go back to those times.Millions of people like you have been a part of this fight -- and we need you again. Don't stay on the sidelines for this.Thanks,JackJack ShapiroDirector of Policy and CampaignsOrganizing for ActionAW INFO RUNNING FRIDAY EVENINGGood morning ,The main man has been on!We have one going under the floodlights this coming Friday evening at Wolverhampton.This is his first one of the year & I know he is

And for the past eight years, these words have served as the backbone of his Presidency: the belief that, through hard work and a commitment to hope, we can make progress possible for the American people.As we look back at the last eight years, people from across the country (and the globe) are taking some time to reflect on a moment that inspired them to share in this belief, and even to take action in their own communities.Do you have a memory or moment in mind? Check out the video or read through some of our favorite entries below to get inspired -- then share your #YesWeCan moment at wh.gov/farewell.And don't forget to tune in to hear the Presidents grateful farewell to you on Tuesday, January 10.Here's a small sample of what you've shared with us so far:Shortly after President Obama was elected, I was traveling near the airport in Columbus, Ohio. Air Force One was there because the
President was in the city, and at the gate was an African American father holding his young son on his shoulders. I heard him say, 'Thats the Presidents jet, and one day, you can do just want President Obama has done. One day, you can be president!' It brought me to tears. Your time, your spirit, your work, your grace...will forever permeate this country, no matter which political party is in the White House. Thank you.Rev. Susan from Ohio"My son, and now I, both have health care only because you had the vision and the strength to push it through. Iran doesnt have nuclear weapons because you had the strength to push through an agreement. You overcame immense odds, bigotry both here and abroad, yet you prevailed."Mary from Virginia"Your stand on climate change inspired me to champion this position in the Forest Service and in my research, writings, and on-the-ground projects. Climate change is one of the most important challenges for the world and your support has been extremely important."Randy from ArizonaThe greatest moment of your eight years in office for me was the night that the Supreme Court affirmed all Americans right to marry the person they love. My partner and I, who are not yet married but will do so soon, came to the White House to see the rainbow lights projected onto the facade of the Presidents House...Your advocacy and leadership on diversity and inclusiveness, respect for all people regardless of their innate characteristics, and you and Mrs. Obama directing that the White House be lighted thusly on that great day in LGBT history was overwhelming to us both.Skip from DCMy parents are both undocumented immigrants from south of the border who traveled to California where they raised me and I am deeply grateful for them. They came here to give me a better life then what they experienced. What you did these past eight years did give families like mine the opportunity to strive for the American dream. You taught me that change can come if we work hard to make it happen and not by waiting for anybody else to do it for me.Marco from CaliforniaAfter the horrific massacre of the Emanuel 9 in Charleston, I was fortunate enough to be able to be present at the memorial service in Charleston where President Obama delivered the eulogy. At the time we most needed to hear a message of unity and hope, our President delivered one of the most powerful and moving speeches I have ever heard. I will never forget those moments of hope and grace delivered in one of our darkest hours in our state. Thank you so very much.Lea from South Carolina"Im writing from Japan. Mr Obamas visit to Hiroshima was my most impressive thing last year. I was translating into English the home page of a precision screw maker in Hiroshima early last year. In the history section, the following line appeared, '6 August 1945 Our factories were annihilated by the atomic bomb.'"I was born right after the war and I vaguely remember as
a small child that war debris was strewn in vacant lots, we were poorly dressed and food was not sufficient. I thought of the people who rose from the ashes to rebuild Japan. Sometime after I finished my translation, Mr. Obama came to Hiroshima. We have come a long way. A way to a better world. Thank you."Ichiro from JapanRead more #YesWeCan moments here.

That's why we can't just sit on the sidelines as congressional leaders try to repeal it.Say you won't accept the repeal of the law that's helping so many -- sign the petition today, and then we'll be in touch about how to keep building the fight.Under Obamacare, millions of Americans have gained health coverage. It's that simple. Taking away those protections, and ripping that security away from them now, would be irresponsible and cruel.But we can do something about it. Raise your voice by signing the petition, and we'll follow up with what comes next. This fight is too important to sit out -- add your name now.Thanks,JackJack ShapiroDirector of Policy and CampaignsOrganizing for ActionALERA MUSIC FESTIVAL (APAP):LARA BELLO + PABLO REYES + ASARAN TRIO + SOFIA RIBEIROJanuary 9 | Set Times: 8:00pm| Doors: 7:30 pmShare this...Pablo Reyes*BIO:Guitarist, singer-songwriter and composer Pablo Reyes is known as a very innovative and passionate musician within European, North and Latin American circles.
