1)   Looking at the values which the Sisters of Noter Dame de Namur live by I would say they are not to estranged from my belief system. Growing up and learning about my identity I was able to learn not only which ethical values I myself identify with and live by hut also learned to accommodate other values to fit into mine. The Sisters of NDNU have a value of honoring the dignity of each individual and created a community with those they interact with. These two values go hand in hand with the belief I have, I abide by a belief systems that everyone is equal and have a human rights which should be honored and protected. We are all human beings who rely on one another in some form which means we should always treat each other respect and create bonds to unit us or serve each other when necessary. 2)   Attending NDNU has allowed me to develop relationships that honor the dignity and sacredness of each person or non-human through the Bonner Program.

The Community Partner which I am Involved with tends to rely on grants and donations. For grants they do need to apply depending on projects which may be a set back at times. The reason they may be set backs is due to the unfortunate events that if they do not receive the funding necessary they may not be able to go about the project. Another form of money which they rely on is the earning they get from the selling of plants and grasses from their nursery. Through the profits they are able to buy equipment and necessities for their projects. Through the contribution of donations, grants, and the nursery my community partner is able to continue their work with protecting the Eco system of the San Bruno Mountain.

Describe the community in which your CP operates… is it a city, a town, a rural area? What kind of mayor does the community have? Does your CP have any interaction with local government officials? My community partner is San Bruno Mountain watch which operates out of the city of San Bruno. San Bruno is located in the San Francisco peninsula pertaining to the San Mateo county.

Currently the San Bruno Mayor is Jim Ruane, he is on his second term as mayor and has served as a council member since 1995. San Bruno Mountain watch works closly with not only San Mateo government officials but also with those of the surrounding cities which incircle the Mountain. They must work with government officials so that they may ensure protection of the land eligible for development surrounding the Mountain.

How are California’s State Legislature and/or local governments using their power to preserve state and local values in the face of conflicting Federal policies? California’s State Legislation and its local government always use a lot of their power to preserve the state’s and its local values. Many of the values which many Californians have has been prevalent to the United States for such a long time. After 1988 California has consecutively deemed itself a reliable Democratic state with a large population of minorities within its borders. Since President Donald Trump began to hold office, California has demonstrated just how much they do not agree with much of his policies, especially his immigration reforms. California has been in the works of becoming a sanctuary state which even with the lack of federal money could still be able to maintain itself due to having one of the Sixth largest economies in the world. Even before California, as a state, becomes a sanctuary, many local...
