National Mail Voter Registration Form (NMVRF)
I find that all too many times, there are Unity groups or individuals that are willing to offer support and/or to help out when they have time, but they don't find out that something has occured until everything is said and done.
TO CREATE AN ALERT
The alerts would be in form of email, you all have received emails with a comprehensive email listing, copy and past the email address for your alerts.
A "PNUC Alert" should be the first communication to the other Unity Groups - Alert – merely a brief description of what happened, who was involved, where and when the event took place, and some suggested next steps.

PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE INTRODUCES LGBT NON-DISCRIMINATION BILL
Government contracts are an excellent source of business for minority owned business enterprises (MBE). The U.S. federal government alone spends over $200 billion a year on goods and services. Programs exist at the federal, state, and local levels intended to increase the participation of minority owned businesses. At the federal level, there are contract setasides for companies certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program, and also Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB). At the state level, where the bulk of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) funding for roadway and transportation infrastructure projects is allocated, each state and local transit agency must establish a goal for the participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). Keep in mind that a goal is not the same thing as a quota, meaning it is something that cannot be legally enforced. Some agencies view their goals as a purely ministerial exercise, and fail to achieve their goals year after year. Others make a more sincere effort to meet their goals and are more aggressive in getting their contracting officers and prime contractors to increase DBE participation, especially on large construction projects. Many states, counties, and cities also have their own programs that may have setasides, bid preferences, focused outreach, or just set goals. These programs are typically called Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Minority or Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) programs. For more information on marketing strategies for minority owned businesses, visit our sister site at Diverse Strategies.

No Hate in Our Town
Statewide Action for Unity in Our Communities
Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot of Pennsylvanians scapegoating undocumented immigrants. Their words and actions are dividing our communities and making many people – immigrants and citizens alike – feel fearful and rejected. Hate breeds hate, and it’s time for those of us who recognize the valuable contributions of immigrants – our friends, neighbors, families, US! - to speak out.
On September 1, 2007, while supporters of
