Important New Nonprofit, MVP (Momentum & Value for People of Color), Launches to Enhance the Lives of Young People of Color

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MVP (Momentum & Value for People of Color), a new nonprofit, announces the organization’s official launch. MVP was founded to create a movement that helps young Black, Asian and Hispanic individuals develop leadership skills to generate life changing internship and employment opportunities. Our mission is to create equity and take action to ensure that young people of color have access to strategic connections and…

«In today’s environment, we at MVP realize the importance of bringing to light the immense inequities among young People of Color. The value this population brings to society cannot be overstated, yet they lack access to the right opportunities and support systems,» said Christine Sakdalan, Co-Founder and CEO of MVP. «That’s why it’s critical for us to use our network of resources, both human connections and capital, to close the gap on these disparities. We are so fortunate to have the backing of our dedicated partners and network of leaders who are committing their time and talents to make this a reality.»

MVP will launch with a set of programs designed to match and connect internships, mentorships, strategic networking, and writing support to those in need. MVP will work with the organization’s vast network of executives and leaders to uncover professional opportunities and provide mentoring and practical help to young people of color. MVP beneficiaries will receive personal development for two years, focused on leadership and soft skills to ensure career progression and financial wellness.

Minority racial groups are more likely to experience multidimensional poverty than their White counterparts:

In the United States, 18.8 percent of Black American and 15.7 percent of Latino Americans are living in poverty, compared to the 10.5% national poverty rate (2019 US Census).
Asian Americans have a 12.3 percent poverty rate, with the greatest income inequality among major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. (2018 Pew Research Center Social and Demographic Trends).

Low socioeconomic status, lower educational achievement, poverty and poor health disproportionately impact this segment of our society.

MVP aims to champion, catalyze and create change for young people of color, by being a vehicle for opportunities, a gateway for success, and an inspiration to pay it forward.

Maryland Teen Wins Drive Safe D.C. PSA Contest

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kaylee Franklin, a student at Middletown High School in Middletown MD, has been named winner of the fourth annual Drive Safe D.C. PSA Contest, sponsored by The National Road Safety Foundation in conjunction with the Washington, D.C. Auto Show.

The contest invited teens from D.C., Virginia and Maryland to submit their…

The contest invited teens from D.C., Virginia and Maryland to submit their ideas for a 30-second public service announcement that warns of the dangers of speeding, which is a factor in 26 percent of fatal crashes nationwide, killing an estimated 9,000 people every year.

Kaylee, 14, will receive $2,000 and an Emmy Award-winning director will work with her virtually to make her idea into a finished TV public service announcement that will air on more than 160 TV stations nationwide. It will be featured on the nationally-syndicated TV program «Teen Kids News.»

Kaylee’s public service message opens with two cars talking to each other in a parking lot. A new car brags to an older car about all its new features. The older car admits it doesn’t have all the new features. The new car talks about how fast it can go. The spot closes showing a tow truck pulling a smashed car, as a mother and child get into the older car. As the child buckles herself into the car seat, the older car says to the new one, «I may not be a smart car, but I have a smart driver.» The words «Be a SMART driver, speeding kills» come onto the screen.

«I’ll be driving in about a year, and while I’m not nervous about my own driving, I don’t want to be afraid of others on the road around me,» Kaylee said. «My message is that you need to be cautious on the road, and that includes not speeding.»

«Kaylee’s message will help make people think about their behavior when they get behind the wheel,» said Michelle Anderson of The National Road Safety Foundation, a non-profit that promotes safe driving. «It conveys a message that no matter how advanced your car is, you as the driver have to be responsible and speeding can have much more serious consequences than getting a ticket.»

«We salute Kaylee for an idea that we think will resonate with teens and, in fact, drivers of all ages,» said Washington Auto Show President and CEO John O’Donnell. «It shows that even as today’s cars have many great features to help keep us safe, the ultimate safety feature is a safe driver.»

Ryan Corbin, 18, of Stevensville, MD, was named runner-up and will receive a $1,000 prize. He is a student at Kent Island H.S.

The National Road Safety Foundation, Inc. (NRSF) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that for nearly 60 years has been dedicated to reducing crashes, deaths and injuries on our nation’s highways by promoting safe driving habits through greater public awareness.

NRSF produces educational programs for broadcast and for use in safety, educational and enforcement programs by police, teachers, traffic safety agencies, healthcare professionals, youth advocacy groups and other grass-roots related agencies, as well as federal, state and local government agencies. NRSF programs, which are free, address distracted driving, speed and aggression, impaired driving, drowsy driving, driver proficiency and pedestrian safety. The Foundation works with youth advocacy groups and sponsors contests including the national Drive2Life Contest to engage teens in promoting safe driving to their peers and in their communities.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin Reminds Women About Importance of Screening During Cervical Cancer Awareness Month and Beyond

MADISON, Wis., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — There was a time when cervical cancer was a leading cause of cancer death in the United States, until the Pap test revolutionized detection. Thankfully, since the 1960s, the death rate for cervical cancer has dropped more than 70%. It is in the spirit of that test that Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin urges women not to put off testing or Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations.

…

While January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, anytime is a good time to be screened. Even during the pandemic, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s doors are open to provide cervical cancer testing, colposcopy services and HPV vaccines to anyone, regardless of health insurance coverage or ability to pay.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 210 Wisconsinites will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer in 2021 and more than 14,000 new cases will be diagnosed nationwide. Far more women will be diagnosed with pre-cancer or early-stage cases. Hispanic women in Wisconsin are two times more likely than non-Hispanic women to be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and the rate of cervical cancer is 80% higher among Black women than white women.

«Don’t let this pandemic keep taking your health,» says Maria Barker, Multicultural Programs Manager for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. «The doors of your nearest Planned Parenthood are open to safely deliver the regular screenings and vaccinations that save lives.»

Additionally, Black and Latinx women nationwide are one to two times more likely to die from cervical cancer than white women. Older women are also more likely to develop this type of cancer at a rate of 20% once they turn 65. Women are much less likely to develop an invasive form of cervical cancer if they regularly test, according to the ACS.

There are risk factors that can affect a woman’s likelihood of developing cervical cancer:

HPV: Also linked to penile, anus, mouth and throat cancers
Smoking: Women who smoke are twice as likely to develop cervical cancer than non-smokers
Weakened immune system
Chlamydia
Having many sexual partners
HIV: The virus that causes AIDS or another condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off health problems
Long-term oral contraceptive use: Research suggests the risk goes down after stopping the OC and then returns to normal risk after a period of time
Three or more full-term pregnancies
A full-term pregnancy before the age of 20
A diet low in fruits and vegetables

Make an appointment online at ppwi.org or call 1-800-230-PLAN (7526) to schedule.

Spanish translation of statement from Maria Barker, Multicultural Programs Manager Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin:

«¡No deje que esta pandemia siga quitándole su salud! Recuerde hacerse los chequeos regulare que salvan vidas, haga cita para hacerse el papanicolaou en una de las clínicas de Planned Parenthood que este en su vecindad. ¡Nuestras puertas están abiertas para servirles! Llame al 1-800-230-PLAN (7526) para hacer su cita.»

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is a nonprofit health care provider serving 60,000 patients annually at 24 health centers. Planned Parenthood provides the full range of comprehensive reproductive health care including well woman exams, breast and cervical cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, birth control and abortion care.
