Help those in need this fall by donating a Hoodie for Halloween. ASUN's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is collecting new adult sized hoodies to be donated to local rehabilitation centers and homeless shelters. Donation boxes are on each campus. #ASUNewport

We value honesty and transparency. So we thought it was important to share why you can't count on unemployment funds from the bill that just passed the Arkansas Senate.

The Tragedy of America’s Rural Schools: Outdated textbooks, not enough teachers, no ventilation — for millions of kids like Harvey Ellington, the public-education system has failed them their whole lives. (Discuss on Reddit: ift.tt/3nqTS6o ) ift.tt/3hsgmAa

Why is charging $50 for a $6 case of water during a hurricane considered price gouging, but charging $700 for a $5 vial of insulin is considered health care?

My cousin's little girl lost her 35 year-old father to COVID in @RepRickCrawford 's district one week ago today. The common cold doesn't kill 35 year-olds, now does it?
"I believe that the Covid virus is real. However, I don't know that it's any worse than the common cold" -- Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AK) on Fox News, receiving no pushback from host Alicia Acuna (roughly 609,000 Americans have died from Covid so far)

Hello! A quick PSA that just because a rural community is able to access the internet, doesn’t mean it’s ACCESSIBLE. Affordability is a 🔑 component, and right now, ISPs/electric utilities are trying to charge upwards of $120/month for “high speed” internet…which is a joke! – at Chicago, IL

According to the latest Mayo Clinic update: Arkansas's fully vaccinated percentage of those under age 18 is 5.8%. By the time school starts, it should be somewhat higher but likely under 10%. Those 100 school districts with high infections will no doubt grow. @JoeThompsonMD
100 Arkansas school districts have had 50 or more new known #COVID19 infections in the local community per 10,000 residents over a 14-day period, we noted on our website today as part of our newly revived reporting of local COVID data: bit.ly/3fgx6cx

If you're looking for a full list with links vs. going one by one on their #ARLeg pages, look no further: State Senators: bit.ly/ARSenatorsALL State House Reps: bit.ly/ARHouseRepsALL Call them all, email + text them. Do it #ForTheKids, literally. #arpx #maskssavelives
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of legislators with email addresses in one document or spreadsheet that voted for the ban on local control over masks? I would like to find and share to increase efficiency in contacting them regarding the special session.
