I’ve use this app for years. It was very effective in getting the Hillsborough County students that were required to do senior volunteer hours.

Hi Eric,   I’m excited to announce that Idealist has released the “Renew” feature to help you attract more volunteers to your opportunities!   In addition to being able to Promote and Repost opportunities, you can now Renew your organization’s volunteer opportunities without creating a duplicate listing. This feature applies to both expired and currently published listings, and allows you to boost your organization’s volunteer opportunities to the top of Idealist’s search results.  Try it Out: Renew an Opportunity All organizations can renew a volunteer listing every 45 days, but Idealist Annual Members have the ability to renew their listings every seven days.   I know many of you have been anxiously waiting for this update, and I hope the Renew feature saves you time when it comes to recruiting new volunteers.   Best, Jennifer Bennett, CVA Director of Education & Training Resources for Organizations Increase the reach of your volunteer listings Promote a volunteer opportunity ➜ © 2026 Idealist.org, Inc. 389 5th Ave, FL 9, New York, NY 10016 United States Unsubscribe

Fwd: Water Fluoridation, SNAP Reform, Parental Health Consent & More

Reform, my experience with my mom's stage, four of ovarian cancer, started when she came home from tennis and sat down to have lunch with me. 

She said: Eric every day I play tennis and I come home and I hurt right here my gut. 

I replied:Mom, dad has the best insurance on the planet. You can see get in to see over a 100 doctors in 20 minutes if you wanted to.  Please, please, please go find one of these doctors to look and see what's hurting you!

Wow TRUTH!

What's that:

TAKE ACTION Track, Advocate & Influence Policy Stay informed on key legislation related to MAHA™'s mission at the state and federal levels. View our Legislative Tracker to learn how you can take action in your state.  SEE LEGISLATIVE TRACKER Must-See Updates Below👇 KY HB103 – Water Fluoridation Reform MAHA's Position: 👍 Vote yes! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement supports this bill because it ends one‑size‑fits‑all fluoridation mandates and restores local control and community choice over adding a neuroactive industrial chemical to drinking water. By allowing communities to opt out of fluoridation and shielding local decision‑makers who act reasonably and in good faith, HB103 aligns with MAHA's priorities of cleaner water, reduced toxic exposures, and informed, locally driven health decisions rather than mass medication through public infrastructure. By making community water fluoridation optional and protecting local leaders who choose to end it, this bill advances MAHA's vision of pure drinking water, local self‑determination, and reduced involuntary exposure to potentially harmful substances. TAKE ACTION WY HB0007 – SNAP Ultra-Processed Food Reform MAHA's Position: 👍 Vote yes! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement supports this bill because it prevents SNAP dollars from being spent on junk food and ultra‑processed "accessory" products, redirecting limited nutrition assistance toward real, nourishing food. By targeting soda, candy, chips, desserts, and similar items that drive metabolic disease and poor health, HB0007 aligns with MAHA's goal of using public nutrition programs to support genuine, whole‑food nutrition rather than subsidizing the ultra‑processed food industry. By seeking to block SNAP purchases of candy, soda, chips, desserts, and other ultra‑processed accessory foods, this bill advances MAHA's vision of government nutrition programs that fund real food, not junk. TAKE ACTION KS HB2420 – Parental Consent for Children's Health MAHA's Position: 👍 Vote yes! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement supports this bill because it affirms parents' fundamental right to direct their children's mental health care and stops schools from quietly initiating ongoing counseling or behavioral interventions without family knowledge or permission. By requiring informed, written parental consent—while still allowing immediate action in genuine suicide emergencies—HB2420 aligns with MAHA's commitment to parental authority, transparency, and protection against schools funneling children into mental health and potential pharmaceutical pathways without meaningful family involvement. By making parental consent a clear prerequisite for school-based mental health services, this bill advances MAHA's vision of parents as primary decision-makers in children's care and adds a crucial safeguard against unconsented psychological and pharmaceutical interventions in schools. TAKE ACTION MD HB637 – The Vax Act MAHA's Position: 👎 Vote no! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement does not support this bill because it concentrates power over vaccine and preventive‑care decisions in centralized public‑health authorities, then uses insurance design and expanded pharmacist powers to push a standardized, pharmaceutical‑heavy model of "prevention" onto Maryland residents. By tying zero‑cost coverage and broad pharmacist access directly to whatever immunization schedules and recommendations these authorities adopt, HB637 undermines medical freedom, individualized risk‑benefit decision‑making, and the holistic, less pharma‑dependent preventive strategies MAHA views as essential to genuine health. By enlarging state‑driven vaccine recommendations, widening pharmacist vaccination authority, and hard‑wiring no‑cost coverage for an expanding list of shots and procedures, this bill conflicts with MAHA's vision of medical freedom, informed consent, and a more balanced, whole‑health approach to prevention. TAKE ACTION IA SF2211 – Medical Freedom Act MAHA's Position: 👍 Vote yes! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement supports this bill because it robustly protects Iowans from being coerced into vaccines and other medical interventions by employers, schools, businesses, and government, and ensures that "healthy but unvaccinated" people cannot be excluded from normal life. By sharply curbing emergency powers for forced exams and vaccinations while still allowing isolation of truly infectious individuals, SF2211 aligns with MAHA's core principles of bodily autonomy, informed consent, and the rejection of one-size-fits-all, mandate-driven public health. By prohibiting discrimination based on medical intervention status and rolling back compulsory public-health powers, this bill strongly advances MAHA's vision of a society where medical decisions remain personal, voluntary, and free from institutional coercion—even during declared emergencies. TAKE ACTION MD HB1527 – Alternative Healthcare Expansion MAHA's Position: 👍 Vote yes! Why This Matters:  The MAHA Movement supports this bill because it protects access to non‑pharmaceutical, natural, and traditional healing options while setting clear boundaries to keep unlicensed practitioners from acting like conventional medical doctors. By creating a "safe harbor" for clearly disclosed complementary and alternative care, HB1527 aligns with MAHA's goal of expanding holistic health choices and respecting informed consumer decision‑making outside the standard pharmaceutical model. By legally opening space for clearly disclosed, non‑invasive complementary and alternative practitioners to operate without a medical license, this bill advances MAHA's vision of broader access to holistic, low‑risk healing options beyond conventional pharma‑centric care.

gratitude and reflection from President Law

From: President R <officeofthepresident@usf.edu>

View in browser Dear USF community: As I prepare to step away from my role as president of our great university at the end of this week, I am filled with pride and gratitude for all that we have accomplished. When I first arrived on campus as an employee and student in the 1960s, this was a small commuter school. Today, USF is one of the nation's leading public research universities and a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities. That kind of transformation is extremely rare in higher education, especially this quickly, and it hasn't happened by accident. Our university has continued to flourish thanks to the dedication and talent of our faculty, staff, students and alumni, and the generosity of our donors. I also am forever grateful to the Board of Trustees, the Florida Board of Governors and our elected officials for their unwavering confidence in USF, and our many public and private partners who have collaborated with us to address challenges and seize opportunities. Their support has been instrumental in helping our students thrive and in expanding USF's impact throughout our region and the state. USF is on an incredible trajectory, and I know it will continue to climb under the stewardship of Dr. Moez Limayem, whose first day on campus as president will be Feb. 17. He will bring proven experience as a university leader; extensive knowledge of USF, the Tampa Bay region and higher education in Florida; and a deep commitment to the success of our students, faculty and staff. USF has been my passion for more than 40 years, and I credit much of my own personal and professional success to how this university has helped shape my life. The opportunity to be the first alum to serve as president over the past 4 ½ years has been both humbling and inspiring. Working alongside our world-class faculty and staff, and witnessing the growth, resilience and achievements of our students, has been an absolute privilege. I was pleased to share more of my reflections on my tenure as president and how the university has changed over the years in a new episode of Inside USF: The Podcast, which is available here.  Thank you for your trust, your support and your dedication to our university. I have tremendous confidence in the future of USF, and I can't wait to see what's next. As always, Go Bulls! Rhea Law President University of South Florida, 4202 E. Fowler Avenue, Tampa, FL
