Central Maryland Transportation Alliance is an advocacy group working to improve and expand transportation options in the Baltimore region. Using data and storytelling, CMTA has forefronted how unreliability and breakdown issues on buses and trains have negatively impacted workers and students throughout the region. In this episode, I interview Brian O'Malley, President & CEO at CMTA, to discuss how his organization built a winning coalition to secure state funding for the state of good repair needs of Baltimore's transit system to address the breakdowns. Their advocacy led to the passage of the Transit Safety and Investment Act in 2021, which requires the state of Maryland to provide minimum annual funding for maintenance of the system. CMTA's efforts demonstrate the power of organizing legislators and community groups to challenge the entrenched political prioritization of car infrastructure in transportation funding. “It was compelling when we were able to find data that said that our light rail breaks down the most in the country. That helped us win bipartisan support because legislators view themselves as stewards of taxpayer dollars and public assets and didn't like it one bit that we had let this asset fall into such disrepair that it was breaking down more than any similar system in the country.” - Brian O'MalleyFor more on Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, click here.

Listen to a new episode of PIVOT, a show brought to you by YNS Live with NFL Thread recorded live on Fireside with hosts Juliet Hahn and Cynthia Zordich featuring special guests Kurt Coleman. Kurt Coleman is a 10-year NFL veteran. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 7th round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He continued his career in Kansas City, Carolina, New Orleans, and Buffalo Bills. In 2011, Kurt intercepted quarterback Rex Grossman three times in the Eagles' 20-13 win at the Washington Redskins. He was the first Eagles player since 1966 to have 3 interceptions in one game. The 2015 season was a special season for Kurt and the Carolina Panthers. Kurt recorded a career-high 9 interceptions and helped the Panthers solidify their spot in Super Bowl 50. He played collegiate football at The Ohio State University, where he earned first-team All-American honors, All-Big Ten Honors, and earned Team Captain honors in 2009. In 2007, Kurt co-founded the Ohio States chapter of Uplifting Athletes, a charity dedicated to raising awareness for rare diseases. Throughout college and his NFL career, Kurt has always been called to help those around him and give back to the community. He has worked with various charities, such as Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation, ACS, CMTA, Carolina Breast Friends, and many more. In 2006, breast cancer hit close to the Coleman family. His father Ron was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy. Kurt and his family saw the damage and strain that cancer can wreak on a family. Ron and Kurt went on to fund Coleman4aCure, their family charity that focuses on helping families battling cancer. Coleman4acure focuses on spreading awareness of male breast cancer. They have impacted families in Ohio, Philadelphia, and North Carolina. Kurt and his wife Laura along with their four kids are especially passionate about making a difference in the Charlotte community. They are partnering with the American Cancer Society - Making Strides and The Pink House. In 2018, the Colemans officially made Charlotte home and they look forward to serving the Charlotte community for years to come. Kurt likes to live his life similar to his father's slogan during his battle with cancer “don't have a bad day, just bad moments”. Presently, Kurt is working as the Stewardship and Scholarship Administrator at Charlotte Latin creating programs for underprivileged families and serving as the Carolina Panthers Color Commentator. Follow Kurt on Instagram. Remarkable Quotes “I admire my dad for his willingness to talk about his cancer. It takes a lot of courage and strength to actually be vulnerable, to talk about some of our real issues. I mean, there's a reason why the suicide rates of men are seventy-five percent more likely to commit. “I believe we internalize issues as men because we have ‘masculinity.' Well, what is that?” “I learned to mix vulnerability with strength from my father, and I continue to lean on him and his mantra, which is, ‘Have a bad day tomorrow.'” “Through all the chemo treatments he had to go through - it was, ‘Have a bad day tomorrow. Have a bad moment. Don't have a bad day.'” “Take these gems throughout life that people are giving you and hold on to them because you're going to go through things in life and these lessons are invaluable.” “I realize that I have a lot of life to live, and I'm going to go through things. And when I do go through things, I'm gonna lean on the experiences of others - that I love - to help me get through.” Sponsor The YNS Live With NFL Thread Super Bowl Experience is sponsored by Shutterstock Editorial.

(If you do this, you must fill out the authorization form on the back of the ballot envelope you receive.)If you are not yet registered to vote, you can register online here, up until October 19. California also offers same-day registration, which can be done on Election Day at your local polling place.If you need to change your address to vote by mail, you can:Write to your local county elections officialFill out this online application, print, sign, and date it, and then mail it to your county elections office. (Also available in Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese)Or, fill out the application printed on the voter information guide, which is mailed to every voter by their county elections office before the electionVisit the California Secretary of State's website for more information about how to vote in this fall's General Election.”CA 2020 Election: Voting In Person; What To Know: September 30, 2020 (click link below for full article)https://patch.com/california/across-ca/ca-2020-election-voting-person-what-knowMain points:*Governor Gavin Newsom made an executive order to mail absentee ballots to every registered voter in California.Though everyone will get a ballot in the mail, some will inevitably need to visit a polling place for many reasons — for lost or damaged ballots or for language or disability assistance. Some will need to register last minute on Election Day, which state law allows at polling sites.In person voting: begins as early as October 31 and ends on election day, Tuesday, November 3, at 8 PM. There will be fewer polling places per county than usual, so as to limit spiraling lines/congestion and mitigate spread of COVID-19. Also, due to pandemic, many usual polling locations i.e., retirement homes, community centers and churches are closed.Find your polling place by using this form on the California Secretary of State's website. California Secretary of State, Elections Division, 1500 11th St., 5th Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814 Phone: (916) 657-2166, (800) 345-VOTE (8683), (800) 833-8683 (TTY/TDD) Website: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/Register to vote or check if your registration status is active here.If voting in person, you should bring your mailed ballot with you to your nearest polling place. Since all CA voters were mailed ballots this year, this is proof that you didn't already mail your ballot and vote twice.However, if you forget to bring your ballot to polling place, or it became lost in the mail, you may need to vote provisionally. This means that your vote may be subject to a screening. Officials may want to verify your registration status or confirm that it wasn't already mailed. With these extra steps, a vote may not be counted on Nov. 3, but it will eventually.Also, voters should arrive with the proper COVID-19 protective gear. Poll workers are instructed to keep their distance and wear masks. They will provide face coverings to voters who need them.Voting with a Disability: Federal law requires that people with disabilities have access to vote on Election Day.Federal law requires at least one accessible voting system in every in-person voting center. However, it's best to connect with your local election officials to confirm an accessible polling location in your area.If your assigned polling location is not accessible, you have the right to be reassigned to an accessible polling place or to be provided an alternative method of voting.If you encounter a barrier when you arrive, talk with a poll worker or election judge present to make accommodations.A person has the right to ask to vote curbside, in a car/vehicle if the polling place is not accessible.A person has the right to have a friend, family member, or polling staff help them to vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1964 states that any voter requiring assistance to vote because of a disability will have the ability to bring a person of their choice to assist them in casting their ballot. Though polling staff should be trained in accessible voting, that may not be reality at your polling location.A person also has the right to refuse help with voting if they don't need it.Other voting resources: For general and accurate voting information: https://vote.gov/ and https://www.healthyvoting.org/You can track your ballot on California's ballot tracker: https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/American Association of People with Disabilities; https://www.aapd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/State-Voting-Guide-California.pdf (this is a thorough guide of voting resources including ones detailed below).To request remote accessible vote by mail, need to request by October 27. https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mailNational Association of the Deaf (NAD); American sign language (ASL) voting hotline: 301-818-VOTE or 301-818-8683; https://www.nad.org/asl-voter-hotline/National Federation of the Blind (NFB): they have voting information you can download in Word, braille, Word in Spanish, braille in Spanish, and a specific guide for young people, also in braille.

Also, I had recently applied to masters public health program.(MPH) programs though was rejected from all 3 programs, where I applied. Though disappointed, I was still optimistic, and certain I'd find another way for career advancement or development.What would you do if you were not dealing with your disorder and/or disability? *Writing more, dancing, graduate school, traveling, volunteering in person, socializing a lot more with friends and family, having children (though can't anymore at age 49)... I did want to be a mother/have children.What would you like people to know about your daily life? *This is probably TMI, too much information but here's my answer:-): My daily life varies tremendously, depending on previous days activities, sleep, and the priorities to accomplish for the day. I frequently feel like a young person in an older person's body. Therefore, everyday tasks/activities often take longer for me, and utilize spoons, like taking a bath, getting dressed, putting shoes and braces on, etc. I often arrange MD or other health-related appointments, and sometimes transportation. I manage a multitude of healthcare paperwork, and receipts for medical deductions. Also, I usually stretch and do some movement each day. And like most people, I check and answer email, as well as read, research, shop and/or connect online. Though admittedly, I tend to find social media overwhelming and fatiguing, So, social media is usually my last priority. I'm definitely open to suggestions for mitigating social media fatigue. Typically, I prefer to text, email, call, FaceTime or zoom with close friends and family. Additionally, a couple of days a week I play mah-jongg with friends, and a couple of days a week I go to the local Peninsula Jewish Community Center (PJCC) for Pilates exercise or community events/activities, pre-COVID-19. I love to write, and free-write mostly for myself. I especially like writing personal essays and articles. I've written an article on caring for hands with CMT published on cmtausa.org, and CMTA's spring 2020 magazine. Despite hand challenges, I enjoy various arts and crafts. Before COVID-19, attended a few free adult arts and crafts classes/workshops. I've participated in a variety of volunteer projects over the years including, tutoring primary school-age kids, reading stories to preschoolers, participating in various consumer/market research studies and usability focus groups. I've organized and participated in many CMTA fundraising efforts, and in 2019, was a top individual fundraiser of all the annual CMTA walks across the country. Our annual SF/Bay Area September walk for CMT, usually located in Palo Alto, California, won't be taking place this year due to COVID-19. However, we will still fundraise online, and friends and family do their own walks. Last year, with the recommendation of San Mateo‘s Center For Independence and Disabled, Assistive Technology Coordinator, I worked with a local private high school for their Project Invent program. Along with other high schools across the country, each student group developed their technology device innovation for someone in the disabled community. Students interviewed and videotaped me for a couple of hours, as I told my story living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Then, I corresponded with their teacher via emails, as well as a couple Zoom calls with teacher and students. They developed a technology called Ruby, to automatically tie shoelaces through a click of the heel and/or handheld device/remote control. Because of COVID-19, students didn't have an opportunity to work with me after the prototype complete and test it. But, I saw a 3-D model they developed on the computer, during the virtual Project Invent Demo Day presentation. There were nine student teams. They had five judges from big tech companies around the country (i.e. Amazon) as well as the founder of Project Invent. Team Ruby were one of three runner up teams, winning a $500 prize to further test their product and try and bring to the marketplace. It was amazing seeing these brilliant and innovative kids! It was truly an honor to participate. Eventually, assuming we're able to be together in groups again, goal is to meet with high school student team, to test the prototype. The following link explains and shows a 3-D model of project: https://www.csus.org/news-detail?pk=1102892What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *Packaging not so difficult to open on everyday items! I have heard you say on this podcast, that Uber and Lyft should offer reduced prices for disabled customers. I would broaden that to other company services, as well as movie theaters, live theater productions, and concerts, and sporting events. If had more energy, I'd like to aggressively advocate for increased opportunities for low-income housing, especially for young adults to middle-age, with physical disabilities, and include such offerings as rehabilitation pool, group activities, etc. One other thing is new innovations/technology for mobility...ways to be more mobile and active. Have you heard of the Alinker, https://www.thealinker.com/? It's not right for everyone, but a fabulous mobility aid developed by an engineer in the Netherlands.. It's somewhat pricey, and not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. However, it's extremely well-made, and I'd love to have one
Safely Making California – that’s what we’re talking about in this episode of Made in California. During this virtual road trip we've visited small businesses across our state, learning what they're doing to keep not only their customers safe, but also their employees as they work to reopen. A main part of that conversation is an acronym that has come to mean so much to ALL Californians. PPE, or personal protective equipment, is a vital part of our reopening process and that’s why today’s episode is a conversation around a new initiative announced by Governor Newsom. A new partnership between the State of California, the California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA), and Autodesk has created the "Safely Making California” Marketplace to help fill a critical gap for all sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will connect CMTA member manufacturers and other manufacturers to employers who have the need to purchase non-medical grade PPE.
