Special thanks to everyone who came out to Rocklands last week and rallied in the rain to support Doorways and our clients! What to Watch: Maid Domestic violence. Homelessness. Working and struggling the make ends meet. Facing the "welfare cliff." This is Maid. "I can't help but think about how impossible it is for most people to jump off the 'welfare cliff' and how hard it is to change your life. Be empathetic. Have compassion. My story is not the norm," tweeted Stephanie Land, author of Maid, the inspiration behind the new series launching on October 1st, just in time for the start of Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. "The show will change and save lives. I have no doubt. I hope the people in charge of creating legislation for those in poverty watch it. They're the ones who need to see it the most." Watch the Trailer The Cliff Effect in Arlington Watch this video from the Arlington Community Foundation to learn what the working poor face here "The Cliff Effect refers to the drop off in eligibility for subsidies for health care, food, child care, transportation or housing that working low-income families experience with even a minor rise in earnings," the Arlington Community Foundation says. "The loss of the subsidies mean the worker has to refuse the raise or better-paying job/not accept the promotion or see their family worse off." Learn More about the Cliff Effect "'Sandra', the woman in this story, is a single Arlington mom with 2 children, ages 10 months and 4 years old. Hers represents a very typical situation amongst Arlington's working poor." Watch Video Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month October is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month!
