Rep. James Clyburn: House Will Pass Plan to Reopen the Government
NNPA NEWSWIRE — “Responsible legislators want to end this irresponsible government shutdown, and I expect a number of Republican members to join the Democrats in voting to reopen the federal government on Thursday while we negotiate a bipartisan plan to strengthen our border security,” Whip-elect Clyburn said.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today House Majority Whip-elect James E. Clyburn says the House will pass legislation to end the Trump Shutdown on the first day of the 116th Congress:
“Responsible legislators want to end this irresponsible government shutdown, and I expect a number of Republican members to join the Democrats in voting to reopen the federal government on Thursday while we negotiate a bipartisan plan to strengthen our border security,” Whip-elect Clyburn said. “If Senate Republicans renounce their support of funding bills they have already passed, they must answer to the American people about their decision to keep the government closed.”
The plan includes full-year funding for six of the remaining appropriations bills that each received robust bipartisan support in the Senate. The House will also pass legislation temporarily funding the Department of Homeland Security at current levels through February 8th, a date that has received unanimous Senate approval.

San Francisco Foundation Celebrates 76th Anniversary
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it: the past couple of years have been tough. From uncertainty about the future of our nation to ongoing wars and violence globally to Supreme Court decisions that rolled back decades of work on racial equity and reproductive rights – it’s easy to become cynical and fatigued,” said San Francisco Foundation CEO Fred Blackwell.

The San Francisco Foundation celebrated the 76th anniversary of its founding in 1964 on Thursday, Oct. 24, at The Pearl in San Francisco.
Over 150 people came together with members of the SFF community whose intent was to fulfill the promise of the Bay: democracy, racial equity, affordable housing, and more.
A fireside chat featured SFF CEO Fred Blackwell in conversation with KQED Chief Content Officer and SFF Trustee Holly Kernan.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it: the past couple of years have been tough. From uncertainty about the future of our nation to ongoing wars and violence globally to Supreme Court decisions that rolled back decades of work on racial equity and reproductive rights – it’s easy to become cynical and fatigued,” said Blackwell.
“Resolve is what is necessary to keep us moving forward in the face of attacks on DEI and affirmative action, of an economy that undervalues arts and caretaking, of a housing shortage that keeps too many of our neighbors sleeping in the streets,” he continued.
Youth Speaks provided poetry and a musical performance by Audiopharmacy, a world-renowned hip-hop ensemble and cultural community arts collective.
The San Francisco Foundation is one of the largest community foundations in the United States. Its mission is to mobilize community leaders, nonprofits, government agencies, and donors to advance racial equity, diversity, and economic opportunity.
