End Gerrymandering Now! [pinback button]
Pinback button created by OneVirginia2021, an American civic non-profit organization founded to advocate for a non-partisan redistricting of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Formed in 2014, OneVirginia2021 is made up of people from across the political spectrum, including Republicans, Democrats, and TEA party members. <br /><br />Gerrymandering is the practice of setting the boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests. The redrawing of district lines takes place after each new U. S. Census to ensure that the "one person one vote" requirement is met. <br /><br />Partisan gerrymandering works to increase the power of a political party. Racial gerrymandering weakens representation, and therefore the political power, of minority voters.

I've had my chest x-ray [pinback button]
<p>"I've Had My Chest X-Ray" button with red double-bar cross that was the emblem of the National Tuberculosis Association anti-TB crusade. </p>
<p>People can be exposed to tuberculosis bacteria and become infected. Some who are infected go on to develop active TB disease; those who do not are said to have latent infection. <br />Latent infection can be found through a skin test or a blood test; however, a chest x-ray and laboratory testing of a mucus sample are needed to determine if someone has active TB disease. <br /><br />In 1946, the Richmond Health Department worked with medical and civic organizations to launch the city’s first chest x-ray campaign.</p>

Salvation Army Friends League button
Pinback button <br /><br />In 1885, Methodist minister William Booth established the Christian Mission Center in East London for the city’s poor and homeless. Booth changed the name to The Salvation Army in 1878, using military terms to organize the evangelical Christian movement. By the early 20th century, the Army had an international presence, with its various “corps” providing food depots, day nurseries and missionary hospitals. <br /><br />The Richmond Corps No. 1 opened on S. Linden Street in 1885. Richmond would eventually have three corps that operated youth clubs, a men’s home and the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital for unwed mothers. <br /><br />The Friends League of the Salvation Army was a membership drive which, in 1919, cost $1, $2 or $5 a year. The funds raised from membership subscriptions financed the activities of the Army.<br /><br />Today, The Salvation Army Central Virginia Area Command manages more than forty programs in the region, including emergency and substance abuse shelters, disaster assistance, family services, Christmas assistance, a boys and girls club, and worship centers.

Young Women's Christian Association button
Pinback button <br /><br />The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) first met in New York City in 1858. While based in Christianity, the YWCA was more focused on social issues, initially affordable housing for working women. It later was active in the labor union movement and supporting race relations. <br /><br />The YWCA of Richmond, the South’s oldest chapter, formed in 1887 and soon opened a boarding house. It later established a day nursery, kindergarten, gymnasium and Travelers Aid Society. <br /><br />The Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Richmond YWCA, found in 1912, was one of the first African-American chapters in the United States. Today, the YWCA of Richmond educates about domestic and sexual violence. It operates women’s emergency shelters and a child development center.
