Dear Little Tokyo Investors and Friends,
The newly-elected Little Tokyo Community Impact Fund, SPC (LTCIF) Board of Directors began meeting formally as of June 2020; up until then the LTCIF had been guided by an interim volunteer Steering Committee who gave life to this vision. Now, the LTCIF Board is composed of 12 dedicated, experienced, and knowledgeable members with diverse backgrounds, representing both Class A and Class B Shares. They are listed on the "Our Team" page.
Here are some bullet-point highlights as we move forward in the coming year:
Ms. Caroline Calderon, a UCLA graduate in Urban Planning has been providing expert staff support.
We have currently 22 "A" level ($1,000) investors and 42 "B" level ($10,000+) investors and have raised almost $600K in investments.
We have been approved by the State of California for a one-year extension to continue to seek investors – with a goal of reaching $2.5 million.
We are investigating a number of properties for purchase in Little Tokyo; the need for community-owned real estate is even more dire in this pandemic-related economy that has been disastrous for small businesses.
Thank you to all who have invested with LTCIF in order to help preserve our historic Little Tokyo neighborhood. Please visit our website for information and Frequently Asked Questions at www.littletokyocif.com.
The LTCIF is working to make sure the Nikkei history, heritage, and culture will continue for generations to come. Thanks to all of you for your support and interest!
Bill Watanabe, President, LTCIF Board of Directors

Recap of Little Tokyo Community Impact Fund's South Bay Kick Off
Source: Caroline Calderon
Over 40 Little Tokyo stakeholders filled the hall of the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute last Saturday, November 16, 2019 to discuss a new community development strategy emerging from the Japanese American community: the Little Tokyo Community Impact Fund (LTCIF).
The meeting began with a short film by Robert Shoji titled "Gone" which interrogates the question: "Will we stand by until Little Tokyo is GONE, or will we stand up and fight for the future of our community?" Familiar images and shots of Little Tokyo's cultural institutions, small businesses and community spaces juxtaposed with cranes, "for lease" signs and closed storefronts.
Shoji's film set the tone of the event's purpose: to evoke a call to action to protect Little Tokyo from the changing landscapes fueled by gentrification and rising rents that put long-time residents, small businesses and community spaces at-risk of displacement and cultural erasure.
With the Metro regional connector currently being built in Little Tokyo, there are concerns over rising rents and property values within the next two years. LTCIF is a community-driven real estate investment fund with the purpose to purchase and manage properties in Little Tokyo. The Fund as a social purpose corporation, is a new tool aimed to support heritage-based businesses and properties in Little Tokyo and will work alongside other anti-displacement strategies that are currently being used. The idea is to attain community control over properties in the area and provide below market rates to businesses, cultural institutions, spiritual centers, and other enterprises, consistent with the social purpose of the Fund.

It has been over a year since LTCIF was first introduced to the South Bay community. When LTCIF President, Bill Watanabe, asked "Who came to last year's meeting?" over half the room raised their hands. The Fund's organizing committee worked with lawyer Brett Heeger to solidify the Fund's purpose, structure and investment options. According to Watanabe, the Fund has grown significantly over the past months:
On July 30, 2019 the Commissioner of the California Department of Business Oversight officially recognized the Fund—allowing LTCIF as a social purpose corporation to sell two classes of shares directly to California residents: Class A which requires a purchase of $1,000 for one share and Class B which requires a minimum of purchase of $10,000 for two shares (with each share costing $5,000).
The Fund has until July 31, 2020 to reach a minimum subscription $500,000. LTCIF has more than 25 investors who have invested over $350,000 in shares. Once the Fund reaches $450,000, we have a commitment of a $50,000 from a prospective investor to help us reach the minimum.
LTCIF will be looking to investors to elect a Board in the upcoming months. Class A shareholders get ⅓ of the seats on the Board while class B investors get ⅔.
The Fund is researching sites in Little Tokyo that can be served through the Fund's purpose.
"You're sitting here because I think you're more interested not in the highest return but putting money to work that's going to benefit the community, at the same time you'll get something on your investment" shared Bill Watanabe.

LTCIF committee member, Casey Nishizu, introduced several scenarios of how the Fund can be used to purchase real estate in Little Tokyo. Graphics showing increases in market rents and vacancies reiterated the urgency to get community control of these properties in the neighborhood.

"What is Little Tokyo?" a video by Steve Nagano closed the event program which reminded attendees how many families got their start in Little Tokyo. The neighborhood has also evolved into a place where visitors can learn about Japanese American history and culture, but also be patrons of unique small businesses, religious institutions, museums and community art spaces—all of which are worth preserving, especially for future generations.
An in-depth Q&A segment took place that dug deep into the Fund's structure and investment options. Some of this discussion is captured on LTCIF's FAQ page: http://littletokyocif.com/invest/faqs/.
The Q&A also brought about a sharing of personal experiences and testimonies as to why it is important to take action. One attendee commented, "I grew up going to Chinatown…my parents used to buy groceries there. And now Chinatown has become this hipster destination. It has evolved into something I hardly recognize from my childhood…I admire the Japanese community for even conceiving doing something like this. I applaud this effort."
Although this is a new tool to engage stakeholders to invest in the area, LTCIF investor Steve Nagano shared that the practice is actually very familiar: "the concept is not new to our community, the Tanomoshis, Keiro, Little Tokyo Towers, Gardeners' Federation (and building) were all built by a cooperative effort, people contributing their part for the greater community. The difference today is the mechanism (an investment fund). As the Nisei generation pass and the Sansei age, I feel we have a duty, an obligation, to them to do our best to keep Little Tokyo."
"Let's build something together greater than what I can do as an individual…there are many examples in our community of where we've pulled our money together to build something for the whole…" remarked Steve Nagano. Investors like Alan Nishio also shared the importance of preserving Little Tokyo in order to be a model for future generations: "This is what we've passed on to you…We expect you to carry it on."
All attendees were given a Prospectus, the Offering Circular (or Memorandum) that details the Fund's plan, structure, risks, and more. It also includes important eligibility requirements for each class of shares. One-on-one consultations and networking commenced after the Q&A.
Prospective investors are invited to request an Offering Circular on LTCIF's website: http://littletokyocif.com/invest or even request presentations for their respective community organizations and groups. The Fund also welcomes volunteers who can share their expertise on community outreach, marketing, finance and real estate. For more information, you can contact the Fund at info@littletokyocif.com.

LTCIF Approved to Raise Money as a Community-Owned Real Estate Fund
Posted on August 14, 2019 September 30, 2019 by littletokyocif in Updates
Bill Watanabe 213-359-0981
Miya Iwataki 626-993-8142
Little Tokyo, CA – The Little Tokyo Community Impact Fund, SPC (LTCIF) has received final approval from California regulators to receive investment funds directly from California residents as it moves to become a community-owned and managed real estate fund. Through a direct public offering (DPO), LTCIF can offer shares of stock directly to potential investors. Proceeds will be used to purchase real estate in and around Little Tokyo, allowing community investors to have a say in what happens in the community and potentially benefit from LTCIF's success.
A public meeting to announce the DPO and to provide the next steps for potential LTCIF Investors and supporters will be held on Saturday, August 24th at Union Church, 401 E. 3rd Street in Little Tokyo. A special session in Japanese will take place at 11 a.m., followed by a meeting for English speakers at 1:00 p.m. RSVP to the kick-off event here. Parking is free.
LTCIF was launched by a group of Little Tokyo community advocates who were concerned about the increasing number of closures and relocations of heritage-based business in Little Tokyo largely due to gentrification. To work towards preserving and protecting the historical legacy of Little Tokyo from the impact of gentrification, they formed a real-estate investment fund that would seek to purchase and manage properties for the purpose of supporting heritage-based businesses and properties in Little Tokyo.
On July 30th, after careful review and negotiation, the Commissioner of the California Department of Business Oversight issued a permit for LTCIF to sell two classes of shares directly to California residents. "The State process is complex due to the important consideration of protecting investors, but we have now passed that important milestone," said Bill Watanabe, LTCIF's Chairman and President. Attorney Brett Heeger, of the law firm Gartenberg Gelfand Hayton LLP, led LTCIF's legal team through the months-long permit application process.
The LTCIF has held a round of public informational workshops to inform people of the intention to start a socially responsive real estate investment fund. "This fund could assist mom and pop, and heritage businesses that have been operating in Little Tokyo for many years, and that are now vulnerable to the encroaching gentrification," according to LTCIF Interim Board member Miya Iwataki. "Response to outreach meetings have been favorable, because many people share a desire to defend the unique cultural history of Little Tokyo."
Steve Nagano, another member of the LTCIF Interim Board of Directors said, "My wife Patty and I are longtime residents of Little Tokyo. In our 10 years of living at Teramachi, we have seen some of our favorite restaurants and mom and pops forced to close or relocate due to rent increases brought about by gentrification. Real estate in all of downtown Los Angeles continues to escalate rapidly. And therefore, we have to take action now!"
"It all comes down to who owns the land," adds Watanabe. "The only way to combat this is to own the land and thereby control how rents can be mitigated and mom-and-pop businesses can be sustained. Little Tokyo Service Center has provided a model for how this can be done."
Mark Masaoka, another LTCIF Board member explains, "People need to understand that we are not asking for donations, but that this is an investment into the community. If successful, we hope to deliver financial return on that investment in addition to having a social impact."
An update on Little Tokyo, and the mission, structure, and operation of the Little Tokyo Community Impact Fund will be presented at the August 24th meeting, with time for extensive question and answer. Further details on the fund are available on the LTCIF website www.littletokyocif.com.
* THE COMMISSIONER OF BUSINESS OVERSIGHT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES.

Hemp is not for nothing that a Superfood. It contains calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and iron. Vitamins A, B, C, D and E. In addition, an appropriate amount of healthy omega-3 fatty acid, plus the rare Omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid and many antioxidants.
This means that hemp seeds and hemp oil extracted from them a genuine "Super Food", so a food with outstanding health benefits.
If you eat hemp seeds, come also to benefit particularly healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acid and gamma-linolenic acid) and potent cannabis specific antioxidants (eg. As phytol), protect especially the brain and the heart and also the reduce cancer risk.
These ingredients act oxidative stress, ie cell damage by free radicals, against the organism.
Another important feature of hemp seeds is that they fight inflammation and so, for example, cancer, diabetes and heart problems prevent associated with all chronic inflammatory processes. For details, see our article inflammation are more dangerous than you think.
The gamma-linolenic acid contained in hemp seed inhibits the secretion of pro-inflammatory substances in the body. Moreover, this fatty acid, the starting material for prostaglandin, which is formed in the body and they regulate various processes, including inflammation and fever.
So eat more frequent cannabis seeds, if you would like to benefit from the health effects of small nutty tasting hemp.
Enter a teaspoon of hemp oil in smoothies or your daily protein shake.
Eat Seeds in muesli and sprinkle to shelled hemp seeds on your cereal.
Mix hemp seeds in baked goods such as bread or cake.
Eat cannabis seeds instead of pine nuts, always so if you wanted to take pine nuts or almonds, replace it with hemp seed.
Enter the hemp oil on your pasta, cereal, soups or in your dressing.


AJ Mitchell covers the most recent issue of Icon magazine.
Singer AJ Mitchell connects with Icon magazine as its latest cover star. Fenton Bailey (Tonic Reps), the son of famed photographer David Bailey photographs Mitchell for the outing. Meanwhile, Edoardo Caniglia looks after styling, pulling together a selection from Dsquared2. Nearing 18-years-old, Mitchell reflects on coming of age.
Forming an image, Mitchell explains in a translated quote, Image for me is essential, but I have no style icons. Style for me is personal. I never have idols or posters hanging in my room. Mitchell confides, I only want to look like myself. However, Mitchell still favors specific music artists such as Cold Play, Lil Wayne, and The Beatles.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, previously counted among the toughest leaders in the civilized world, has become softer than the secretary general of the United Nations.
• Ahlam Tamimi conspired to attack a Sbarro restaurant on August 9, 2001. This Jerusalem suicide bombing murdered 15 -- including Passaic, New Jersey's Shoshana Greenbaum, 31, -- and wounded 130 more.
Ibrahim Muhammad Yunus Dar Musa received 17 years for, among other things, helping to murder Detroit native David Applebaum, 51, and his daughter, Nava, 20, on her wedding eve. Five others were killed and at least 50 wounded in a September 9, 2003 suicide bombing at Jerusalem's CafZ Hillel.
Abd al-Aziz Yussuf Mustafa Salehi famously waved his bloody hands from the window of a Ramallah police station, in which he and other members of a mob fatally flogged and killed Israeli reservists Vadim Norzhich and Yosef Avrahami. These October 2000 murders earned Salehi a life sentence.
Maedh Waal Taleb Abu Sharakh, Majdi Muhammad Ahmed Amr, and Fadi Muhammad Ibrahim al-Jaaba of Hamas planned a March 5, 2003 suicide bombing of Haifa's Bus 37, killing 17 and wounding 53. These murderers received 19, 19, and 18 life sentences -- respectively.
Ignoring 469 other prisoners released on October 18, Israel soon will free another 550 dangerous characters -- all to rescue one Israeli soldier.
As Nadav Shragai wrote in Jerusalem Viewpoints, an estimated 50 percent of terrorists in previous Israeli prisoner swaps and "goodwill gestures" subsequently executed, plotted, or supported terror assaults. In fact, Israel previously freed participants in the aforementioned Passover massacre and CafZ Hillel bombing. Israeli officials twice discharged Ramez Sali Abu Salmim. He eventually blew himself up in CafZ Hillel.
In October 2010, the U.S.-Israeli Almagor Terror Victims Association counted at least 30 attacks involving Islamic extremists liberated by Israel's government. Almagor reports that 177 people have been murdered, and many others injured, in attacks that Israel could have prevented simply by keeping these savages caged.

Di Double reports that approximately two dozen Rotarians, partners and family members travelled to Paynesville for a relaxing weekend of fun and fellowship from Saturday 16 - Sunday 17 March.
Accommodation ranged from a holiday house, a boat, caravans and cabins.
The facilities at the caravan park enabled all who were there on Friday night to enjoy each other's company over a relaxing BBQ dinner.
The next morning, we travelled to the Eagle Point lookout, before heading off, in convoy (complete with the old 70's song 'Convoy' blaring over the VHF radios, thanks to Laury and 'Spotify'), down the Mitchell River Silt Jetties.
These naturally formed silt banks run for over 8 km, making them the second largest silt jetties in the world, and the longest in the southern hemisphere.
After heading back to Paynesville for lunch and meeting up with the rest of our travellers we boarded the MV Jodie and headed to Ocean Grange, where we ventured to 90 Mile Beach, had an impromptu tour of the Ocean Grange Homestead and motored down the canals. We were impressed by the number of boats and magnificent houses in the area.
Unlike Gilligan and the SS Minnow, our 3 hour cruise was almost uneventful (except for a few rogue waves) and Captain Nutter brought us safely back to shore.
Then it was back to the caravan park, where the courtesy bus picked us up for dinner at the Paynesville Cruiser Club.
The next morning some of us ventured over to Raymond Island to spot kangaroos and take pictures of the Koalas.
The weather was perfect (thank you Gus) and those who took part had a great time…with many extending their stay in this beautiful piece of paradise.
Let's hope we get even more members, family and friends to join us on our next weekend away!
Incoming President Isobel Caulfield, husband Past President, Mark Caulfield, Rotary Co-ordinator, Tim Moore and incoming District Secretary, Jane Moore, represented the Rotary Club of Berwick at the PET seminars held in Ballarat on 16-17 March.
The seminars provided an opportunity for the incoming Presidents to meet with their peers and develop strategies for the year ahead.
"President Elects, District Governors Elects, Assistant Governors Elects, partners and trainers from 4 Districts and across Australia gathered for a fantastic weekend in Ballarat.
Sessions were broken into multi district and single district sessions. Topics included membership by supporting and strengthening clubs, enhancing public image, awareness and social media. Governance, insurance and the Rotary Foundation were also covered.
At the district level we heard from our own DGE Adrian Froggatt and well as incoming District Secretary Jane Moore and Treasurer Jim Wilson.
The important topics of insurance and youth protection were well covered.
The opportunity to network with enthusiastic Rotarians was a great part of the weekend. The dinner on Saturday night saw all the districts split up on different tables. It encouraged us all to widen our vision beyond the club.
What other clubs in our district and beyond accomplish is inspirational. We often have the same issues, but also have similar successes.
A huge congratulations to the Rotarians who put it all together. A very good weekend indeed."
Di Double reports that each year the Rotary Club of Pakenham hosts the District 9820 Foundation Dinner providing a great night out at the Pakenham Race Track. It was held on Thursday 21 March this year.
Twelve of our members and partners had a front row seat to the horse racing and enjoyed a lovely meal, whilst winning (or losing) a 'bob or two' on the horses.
DG Janne was in fine betting form and made some extra money for Foundation on behalf of everyone there!
Well done Rotary Club of Pakenham for organising an extremely enjoyable evening.
Christchurch, slowly recovering from the trauma and devastation of the magnitude 6.3 earthquake in 2011, which caused severe damage, killing 185 people and injuring several thousand, is now having to deal with the tragedy of the recent cruel terrorist act.
Fifty people were killed and dozens more injured in the cowardly shooting spree carried out on Friday 15 March at two mosques. Rotarians deplore the horrific event.
"Thank you everyone who has shown interest in supporting the Rotary Mosque Appeal after last Friday's horrific events in Christchurch.
We can advise full banking details that now incl. a SWIFT code for overseas donors.

In 1369 Francesco Petrarca (Arezzo 1304-Arquà 1374), tired of the continuous wandering and now old and sick, he had to readjust a house in the village of euganeo Arquà and chose it as the refuge of the last days. The building, which dates back to the thirteenth century, still retains most of its original structures fourteenth century, despite numerous restorations and alterations and the addition of the sixteenth-century loggia. Also in the sixteenth century were frescoed rooms with a cycle inspired by the most famous works of Petrarch, Canzoniere and Africa
Here he spent the last years of peace in life, surrounded by old and new friends and family. Here he died in the night between 18 and July 19, 1374, bowing his head on his beloved books. The house was donated to perhaps Petrarch by Francesco I da Carrara, lord of Padua.
Petrarch decided to renovate the existing building and adapting it to their needs personally following the works. Used it as a residence for himself and his family the part of the building at a lower level, reserving the rustic, located higher up, the servants. On the front there was the garden, the orchard at the back: the care of the plants Petrarch devoted a lot of attention, though with little success.
Inside the house, the poet had to change the layout of the rooms: the room to the west was divided into two in order to obtain a small study, the room became the central hall of representation and liaison, illuminated by a five-light window on the side of the garden and closed by a chimney on the side of the orchard. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style windows were added two balconies and three fireplaces.
At the death of the poet succeeded several owners, but the house did not undergo important changes: already beginning to take shape the myth of the poet's house.
At the half of the 500 then-owner Paul Valdezocco made to paint the frescoes that can still be admired, inspired by the works of Petrarch and did add the external loggia which still leads to the first floor. After numerous other transfer of ownership, which, however, always respected the memory of the poet, the house came to the Cardinal Pietro Silvestri, who in 1875 bequeathed to the City of Padua.
The restoration, which began in 1906 and ended in 1985 after the various stages, have eliminated the unnecessary additions from the building, but did not restore the old entrance. Inside are exposed some editions of the writings of the poet and some testimonials of the admiration it has been paid over the centuries. In this small house-museum you will find the study, the library, and among the few objects familiar to the poet, his chair and the legendary cat stuffed.

How did Max Planck determine the planck length?
What Planck did to get the Planck length is a clever bit of calculation. Firstly he considered some fundamental constants of nature. General relativity is concerned with two constants of nature: G (the gravitational constant, which determines the strength of gravity) and c (the speed of light). Quantum field theory, on the other hand, is concerned with c (the speed of light) and h (Planck's constant, which determines the amount of uncertainty in our knowledge). Physicists are attempting to unite these theories into one theory of quantum gravity. If this happens, we can expect all three of these constants (G, c and h) to play a role in the new theory. Now note that: The units of G are (distance * distance * distance) / (mass * time * time) The units of c are distance / time The units of h are distance * distance * mass / time Planck observed that there is only one way to combine these constants to obtain a distance: Distance = square root (h*G/c*c*c) The resulting distance is called the Planck length. It is a curious observation that Planck made: there is no other way these constants can be put together to get distance. This means that any theory using only these three fundamental constants to predict distance (as a theory of quantum gravity would have to) will give a distance that is this length multiplied by a numerical constant. This gives the Planck length its meaning, because physicists suspect that it is the distance at which the effects of quantum gravity will become apparent and may even be the smallest meaningful length that exists.


The Velusso Rhône-Alpes cycling holiday is a tribute to everything we love about riding in the Alps. Testing climbs and hair-raising descents by day; spa town recovery and mountain sunsets by night.
With its lush green valleys, cascading rivers, and majestic, snow-capped mountains, Rhône-Alpes is a quintessentially alpine destination. Roads linking the valleys pass over cols that have been immortalised by the Tour de France, and the road graffiti from the race's frequent visits to the area is simply part of the furniture. A charming spa town nestled between the slopes of some of cycling's most mythical climbs, Rhône-Alpes is a road cycling dream.
Easy access to riding, transport and local amenities from hotel.
Arrival at the hotel mid-morning.
A full day ride – conquering the Colombiere. 130 km / 2600 m.
A big ride to Massif de la Chartreuse. 140 km / 3300 m.
2 hour easy morning ride for late leavers.
Hotel check out is at 12:00.
This trip is based in a comfortable *** hotel in Aix-les-Bains which gives good access to both riding and dining. The hotel has large modern rooms in a picturesque location adjacent to the Lac Bourget.

Plans for the Nigerian market
Zola Electric currently manages 200,000 installations, with more than 1,000,000 daily users, and the company plans to increase the numbers by its expansion into Nigeria. It was disclosed that the company would expand its distributed smart storage + solar energy model and launch an affordable renewable energy alternative for Nigerians.
The company also deliver clean energy access to over one million households and businesses in Nigeria over the next three years. The expansion, according to the statement, was focused on improving environmental, health and economic outcomes while driving the transition to clean, renewable energy.
What makes Nigeria important to Zola Electric
Lenihan said Nigeria's economy is fast growing into a powerhouse, and with the economy's position as Africa's largest and population size, Nigeria is the right market for Zola Electric to make its expansion.
"Nigeria is a rapidly expanding economic powerhouse, with population growth tipped to surpass the United States by 2050. It is Africa's largest economy and its biggest oil producer. Despite this, the Nigerian electrical grid is unable to meet basic energy demands.
"Power from the grid is unreliable and expensive and this has driven more than 100 million Nigerians to rely on diesel generators to power their basic energy needs in their homes or apartments.
"With the current electricity access deficit in Nigeria affecting an estimated 80 million people each day, ZOLA's expansion will help Nigerian homes and businesses to access reliable 24 hour, with smart storage + solar for a monthly price that is less than the average energy outlay on diesel generators.
"By combining our PAYGo micro-finance leasing and mobile money payments, ZOLA's energy access model is financially inclusive and adaptable to energy need and income," Lenihan said.
Side Effect: And with the lack of power supply to communities in both urban and rural areas, there are opportunities for Zola Electric to utilise, but renewable energy is not a common alternative to power supply in Nigeria.
Most households are running on generator set, especially in the rural area, which is more populated than the urban or highbrow areas that can afford renewable energy. The affordability of Zola Electric's renewable energy will determine the company's penetration rate in the Nigerian market.
Lenihan further revealed that the affordability of Zola's systems allows customers to redirect their current energy spend on diesel and power bills towards smart storage and solar system that they will own in the long term resulting in significant cost savings for customers.

TEAM NAIRAMETRICS


My name is Marcia St. Hilaire-Finn. I am the owner o f Bright Start Child Care and Preschool in Washington, D.C. Bright Start has been caring for and teaching children, since 2002, and has 17 employees. I strongly support the Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act of 2013, Bill 20-0480. I also support Bill 20-459, the Minimum Wage Amendment Act of 2013, and urge the committee to combine the provisions of both of these bills into one piece of legislation for the Council to consider.
As an employer, I have experience implementing D.C.'s paid sick days law. Providing my workers with paid sick days has been neither costly, nor difficult. I believe it is crucial to provide my employees with time to recover from illness or care for sick family members – doing so enables them to do their jobs well, helps us retain our best employees, and allows us to provide excellent care to the children at our center. In my experience, employees do not abuse their sick days.
As both a business owner in the childcare field and a nurse, I am well aware of the public health implications of paid sick days. If childcare workers come to work sick, they not only put their coworkers' health at risk, but also endanger the health of the vulnerable children that we care for. Moreover, when children are sick, they must stay home from daycare in order to recover so that they do not spread illness to the other members of our community. They need their parents to care for them at home, which require that their parent have paid sick days, too.
Unfortunately, in D.C. some parents are still forced to choose between the health of their children and their jobs – a choice no parent should have to make. Because D.C.'s law does not cover tipped restaurant workers, these employees struggle to find childcare when their children are sick. Like childcare workers, restaurant workers have close contact with the public. For both categories of workers, paid sick days are extremely important to ensuring that they do not spread illness.
In addition to leaving restaurant workers out, the existing sick day's law requires workers to wait a full year before being able to use their sick days. However, workers or their children may become ill before they have been at their jobs for a full year. The health risks of going to work sick are just as significant when a worker has not yet been on the job for a year.
As an employer, childcare provider, health professional, and member of the community, I strongly urge the Committee to send a bill including both the provisions of the Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act of 2013 and those of the Minimum Wage Amendment Act of 2013 to the full Council.
