We believe that street vendors are part of our economic, social, and cultural fabric-feeding our communities and enlivening our public spaces.

Thanks to a powerful campaign led by street vendors to pass SB 972, California's food code has be...

When Viola speaks, she is actually preaching. She’s the epitome of what transparency should look like. May the Universal forces continue to be your guide, Ms Davis. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I'm in a situation with my apartment complex not treating me right, at all. Looking for a lawyer to fight for me and get justice. I have all the proof I need, just need the legal backing to work with my situation. I have Cerebral Palsy and I'm on SSDI. There's no reason for having been targeted and exploited. I'm in Harrisburg, PA. Reply

I never missed even when at the end of the ask for more... a true nightmare. Not even $.01 reduce the balance. Thank you again for helping homeowners. 🙏🏽
Touched by an angel.
It's absolutely sad that people will step all over another human being just for a profit. Greed is a deadly sin
Looks like a blast! Count me in. :-)
Wonderful, so thrilled you'll be joining us!

Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fullfil the book So won't you help to sing These songs of freedom cause all I ever had Redemption songs redemption songs Redemption songs Old pirates, yes, they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look?

so beautiful Gina always beautiful God always take care of her❤

Absolutely brilliant
Hopefully , this would help other families in the Lowcountry to reclaim their land
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Now la has one more to fix. All the homes taken over by eminent domain to make room for dodger stadium. Many Hispanic families were also left in ruin once the city came to take their land. Some got paid, some got carried out handcuffed as they had to watch the bulldozers knock down everything they’ve ever known. Restitution is the only way
There's an ingredient to these lyrics that gives the original a reggae feel. It's not just in the voice but the peculiar way the sounds are articulated, dragged where they are dragged and hushed where they are hushed. Legend is a good winter but ruined this song trying to make it more pop. Go on singing but leave reggae originals the way they were sung.
Wait a minute, there were something like 28 pieces of land purchased by the government from both black and white owners. The area around the Bruce’s land had become a blighted, high crime area, which is why they used eminent domain to clean it up. This whole thing is a sham. Sure the land was “returned” but exclusively as a park.
Many ppl don't know their true identity and that's because the system wipe out alot of their information but it's not completely gone just buried just because you are being tittle black doesn't mean the same as African
They were after the money…
most of the redemption songs on youtube are not upbeat enough, but this one does pretty great.
Impresionante tu voz💚

We didn't want it anyway.Toxic waste dump.

Viola Davis is such a classy lady ❤
