November 20, 2008 — EAST BOSTON — Struggling families and elders have support to help them obtain food stamp benefits in this tough economy. Project Bread, the state’s leading antihunger organization, has granted $30,600 to the American Red Cross, a community-based organization serving 300,000 people across 127 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts. The grant enables the American Red Cross to help more families take advantage of the federal Food Stamp Program.

If you haven’t already heard, on Saturday there will be protests across the country to repeal Proposition 8, California’s discriminatory law that bans gay men and lesbians from marriage. Boston’s protest takes place at City Hall beginning at 1:30 pm. Don’t sit idly by, show up and fight for the civil right of marriage for all.

PROTEST PROPOSITION 8 RULING IN CALIFORNIA

Hello,

13 year old, Steve Odom, was gunned down one year ago outside; a couple feet away from his Mattapan home in Boston, Massachusetts.

A young proud church man from a Christian home and once a proud straight "A" student @ The Tilmity Middle School in Roxbury, Massachusetts.

Sadly, his life was taken too soon, mistaken for another target. Unfortunately, the suspect(s) has not been found.

What is cause of the young kids of the City of Boston who are involved in criminal activity?

The Return of the all new "HOT 97.1 FM." (Formerly Hot 97.7 WILD-FM)
Boston representing today's hottest Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae, Reggaeton; Coming in November of 2008.

Question:
Will the return of "Hot 97FM" in Boston will reach out to the Eastern Massachusetts/Boston Area, like how the original Hot 97.7 FM reached out the the Hip-Hop Community of Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill?
