New Novel Tackles Themes of Corruption and Injustice and Encourages Readers to Take Part in the Fight for a Better World

“The Movement that Changed Everything” by Minister Al demonstrates the power that everyday people have to make a change

Author Minister Al has released “The Movement that Changed Everything,” an immersive and thought-provoking novel that follows Morgan, an ordinary young man with a deep passion for justice that takes him across the world and puts him on a path toward political leadership.

As an African American teenager coming of age in Texas during the 1960s, Morgan encounters many injustices. After organizing a student demonstration to end segregation in his district and joining student government as senior class president, he becomes more driven to enact change in the world around him. His dream is to one day be an elected representative and serve as a voice for those who have been silenced or disempowered.

However, Morgan’s goal of serving as a U.S. senator takes a different turn after he visits his East African grandmother in his family’s home county. There, he witnesses extreme corruption, brutality, injustice and human rights violations at the hands of the regime. Determined to make a difference, he uses his protective status as an American to lead a movement for change. While his first attempt is unsuccessful and he is forced to flee the country, he remains steadfast in his goal and eventually returns to fortify his movement and take political office.

Inspired by the differences he noticed between countries after emigrating from East Africa to Canada, Minister Al wrote “The Movement that Changed Everything” to bring awareness to the corruption and brutality that much of the world still lives under today. Through his book, he hopes to connect with readers who want to make a change and remind them of their innate, God-given power to make a difference.

“’The Movement that Changed Everything’ highlights what happens when we care for one another as well as what we can achieve when we unite for the same cause,” said Minister Al. “Together, we can fight until we are there.”

An action-packed novel about a man who risks pain and suffering to help advance the lives of others, “The Movement that Changed Everything” inspires readers to join within their communities for a more equitable future.

Doggy Dream Team Is Helping Owners Learn More About Dog Care

Created by a seasoned veterinarian, Doggy Dream Team is a review website with content written by dog lovers, for dog lovers. They specialize in providing honest product reviews and advice to help dog owners take better care of their pets.

Despite how wonderful they are, taking good care of a dog can be a great deal of work. Especially at the extremes of their age, when they are either very young or very old. Having the right tools on hand can make taking care of pets much easier, but many owners end up doing things the hard way because they were not aware that certain products exist in the market.

Taking care of that issue is one of the main goals of Doggy Dream Team, a website filled with content written by dog owners, for dog owners. One of the site’s main categories is product reviews, where owners can find lists of all sorts of dog-related products, many of which can make the life of both the owner and their dogs much easier.

Among the products reviewed, readers will find different types of dog food, nail clippers, dog beds, cooling mats, dog GPS trackers, and more. Some of these products were the subject of more than one review – the site contains lists of dog foods best fit for different purposes, such as the best dry dog foods for puppies, or the best dog foods for senior dogs. They even have a review covering the best dog towels, as seen here.

It all works towards the ultimate goal of helping owners make smart purchasing decisions when trying to figure out what’s best for their pets. Though the site’s reviews are mainly UK-focused, many of the products listed on their reviews can be found in other regions of the world.

The Team Behind The Content

Doggy Dream Team sticks true to their “by dog owners, for dog owners” promise. As the website explains:

“All our contributors are proud pet-parents and write first hand from both a practical and personal experience. Their beloved dogs are from different backgrounds, in various shapes and sizes, and each unique. They all descended from the same breed a time long ago but have since evolved to have individual looks, characteristics, and personalities. It is with this unique perspective that we can offer insights and “slobber satisfaction” testimonials to everything we ‘dog’ about, (woof) blog about.”

As part of the site’s good-humored approach, the creator’s dog – Polly – is listed as the site’s Managing Director on their ‘about us’ page.

As for the top dog running the show, Doggy Dream Team was created by Dr. Pippa Elliott. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987 with a degree in veterinary medicine and surgery. Today, on top of working as a veterinary locum, Dr. Elliott is the in-house veterinarian at Doggy Dream Team. She works alongside a team of veterinarian reviewers to make sure all the content in the site’s health advice section is medically accurate. All for the sake of making sure dog owners get the best information possible out of their site.

Aqua Pennsylvania Reminds Low-Income Families There Is Help to Pay Water Bills

Aqua Pennsylvania is reminding customers that its Helping Hand assistance program is available to low-income families who find it difficult to pay their water bills.

The Helping Hand program is multifaceted, offering customers a payment plan to pay down arrears and ensure their water isn’t turned off; an opportunity for customers who make payments on time to earn a monthly credit toward their arrears; and a conservation kit to help customers reduce usage and, therefore, reduce their bills. The conservation kit includes leak-detection tablets, a low-flow shower head, low-flow aerators for kitchen faucets and more.

Interested customers can call Aqua at 877.987.2782 to find out if they qualify for Helping Hand. Aqua will refer eligible customers to a local agency to apply.

The following requirements are among those that must be met for eligibility:

  • The customer’s household income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level;
  • the account is more than 21 days past due; and
  • the customer has at least $110 in unpaid water bills.

Customers who wish to contribute to the Helping Hand program may also call Aqua at 877.987.2782 or log on to AquaAmerica.com.
