Livestream will be joining the Vimeo team to continue innovating in the world of video and live storytelling. View in browserHi Mark,
I have very exciting news to share. Yesterday, we announced that Vimeo will be acquiring Livestream, and that we'll soon be joining forces.
For the past decade, our mission has been to enable organizations to share experiences through live video, unlocking a world where every event is available live online. We're thrilled to be joining the Vimeo team. Together, we will continue to innovate in the world of video and live storytelling.
What does this mean for those considering Livestream for their business or live video content? We'll continue to bring the same great service and affordable prices to our customers through this transition, and down the road we expect to integrate the best of Livestream's capabilities directly within Vimeo to offer the world's best end-to-end live video solution. This means more features and accessibility for our customers at greater speed and scale. You can learn more on our blog, but don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Best,
Mark Kornfilt

Moving People of Faith to Action
Dear Mark,
PLEASE WELCOME JAMAAL CRAIG AS THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PIIN!
Jamaal Craig will begin serving as the new Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network on Monday, October 2.
Mr. Craig has an extensive labor organizing background, including positions with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – United Healthcare Workers West in Sacramento, California; the AFL – CIO in both Cincinnati and Chicago; and the United Steelworkers International here in Pittsburgh. Mr. Craig has also worked on two Presidential campaigns as a political organizer on the state level in Michigan and Iowa. His educational background includes formal study in Criminal Justice, Ethnic and Diversity Studies, Political Science, and Public Policy. Currently he is a Ph.D. candidate in Public Policy and Administration, and he teaches courses in Political Science and Ethnic and Diversity Studies at the Community College of Allegheny County.
A native of South Carolina, Mr. Craig resides with his family in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. He serves as President of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, co-chair of the Pittsburgh NAACP Labor and Industry Committee, and Board member of the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute. He is a member of the A. Phillip Randolph Institute, the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, and the Fetzer Advisory Council on Labor, Trades, and Crafts. Mr. Craig and his family are members of Wesley Center AME Zion Church.
We are blessed that our Executive Director Search Committee has conducted a very thorough and successful search process over the last five months. Members of our Search Committee include Suzanne Broughton, Rev. Buena Dudley, Rev. Vincent Kolb (convener), Rev. Eric McIntosh, Lauren Enty Rumbaugh, Rev. Jesse Spencer (chair), and Ronnie Cook Zuhlke. Thank you, Jesse, for your exceptional leadership; thank you, Vincent, for pulling together such an amazing team; and thank you to all the members of the Search Committee for your diligent work on behalf of PIIN! We are also very fortunate that Ana Garcia-Ashley, Executive Director of the Gamaliel Network, worked closely with our Executive Director Search Committee throughout the process.
I would also like to thank Fred White for serving with distinction as Acting Executive Director over the last two months. Fred and our other PIIN staff members – Bill Bartlett, Susan Lithgow, and Sue Thorn – have admirably sustained PIIN's momentum during this transition period, and they deserve our heartfelt gratitude.
Please watch for opportunities to become acquainted with Jamaal over the next few weeks. I am sure that he will be eager to meet everyone who is part of PIIN. Together, we can all move forward with our work of moving people of faith into action to eliminate structural racism and economic inequity.Sincerely,
Rev. David Herndon, President, PIIN

Ever wonder just how the Pentagon and its friends the military contractors spend the money which should be providing for your health care? Well, wonder no more. Alfred W. McCoy explains much of it in the attached article, but even this is just a drop in the proverbial bucket when the intelligence budget is added in. Apparently losing successive military engagements (some would say faux wars) is no impediment to extravagance in the search for global dominance.

To whom it may concern,
We recently received a grant through Partners for Work for 10 City Charter High School students will complete the Patient Care Technician training program at CCAC.
We are establishing a professional Roundtable of businesses and organizations to provide career resources and guidance to prepare our students for work as a Certified Nursing Assistant. We cordially invite you to be a part of this group and share best practices, professional workplace expectations and other pertinent information.
The goal of the Patient Care Roundtable is to engage local businesses in discussions of student preparation for careers, City High curriculum and business needs for a pipeline to employment.
The Patient Care Roundtable will take place on Friday, October 6th from 10:00 am - 11:30 am, at City Charter High School located at 201 Stanwix Street Suite 100, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. A wrap-up session will also be held on Friday, March 16th (same time and location).

Israel appears to have backed itself into a corner by supporting the wrong side in Syria. Now will the U.S. resist Netanyahu's furious push to attack Iran? And, Paul Street explains how things would have gone if Hillary had actually won the election.
