The President's Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Request for the Department of Defense
On March 11, 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration submitted to Congress a proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget request of $849.8 billion for the Department of Defense (DoD), consistent with the caps approved by Congress under the Financial Responsibility Act (FRA) of 2023.

So to sum it up your point black people really need to get more into civic-engagementi think black people must start looking at our struggle through a strategic and tactical lens, assessing the advantages and disadvantages of allowing this current cycle of unrequited support of democrats to continue, determining if we’re truly preventing the gravest harm to our community by supporting the democrats and ensuring that republicans don’t hold office.
What is Civic Engagement?
How engaged are you in your community? Perhaps you serve on the school board or the PTA or you’re a member of a local charity. Perhaps you read your local paper or quarterly newsletters from your municipality and vote at election time. Or perhaps not. Between work, family, and other commitments, it can be hard to find time to pay attention and get involved, but civic engagement is an essential part of exercising your voice in our society.
But what does civic engagement mean?
Thomas Ehrlich, author of Civic Responsibility and Higher Education, offers the following definition:
“Civic engagement means working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes….
A morally and civically responsible individual recognizes himself or herself as a member of a larger social fabric and therefore considers social problems to be at least partly his or her own; such an individual is willing to see the moral and civic dimensions of issues, to make and justify informed moral and civic judgments, and to take action when appropriate.”
There are numerous paths for civic engagement:
Political participation through voting, voter registration, or being an election judge;
Educating Americans on government and history;
Volunteering with organizations that build community well-being or participating in community service projects;
Advocating for legislation and models;
Representing fellow citizens by appointment or election, such as on a city council or school board.
You can see a broader spectrum of civic engagement here. All of these actions demonstrate how civic engagement is about engaging people in a process of self governance. Values associated with fostering civic engagement are:
Trusting and respecting how a community wants to take action for itself;
Creating agency and power in people, particularly those most affected by an issue;
Nurturing or fostering healthier, stronger, happier places to live;
Engaging community members in a processes that affect them and their communities;
Promoting transparency and participation
Nah breh what you said was not bunch of nothing what you are speaking of is more or less civic-engagementSimply put, we the people are the only ones we can truly depend on because we are the nation, nothing exists here without our labor and ideas and relationships

And it's sad, only on thecoli, where apparently folks just can't get their minds off of gay sex, do we have to pretend like a political party being inclusive of gay rights is somehow an equal affront to black rights as direct attempts to hurt our rights by law. It's like nikkas are almost eager for any distraction. To keep us from fighting directly against white supremacy.
we is never gon stop being sharecroppers.
we ain’t getting no seats up in tha front.
we is not ever voting.
and...So to sum it up your point black people really need to get more into civic-engagement
