It’s no secret DJT and the GOP want to strip the LGBT Community of what little rights we have. Please keep the LGBT Protections in NAFTA to help our continent be as accepting of our treasured diversity.

A damning new report from The New York Times revealed that Facebook executive Joel Kaplan is leading a smear campaign targeting Color Of Change and other civil rights groups critical of the company. Facebook has been seeding right-wing hit pieces and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories based on racist tropes in response to our efforts to ensure the safety of Black users on the platform. Kaplan hired a Republican public relations firm for the express purpose of undermining Color Of Change and other organizations who have held them publicly accountable for their harmful practices. Facebook’s choices fed into the same far-right conspiracy theory that resulted in a pipe bomb in George Soros’s mailbox, along with a slew of hit pieces against our organization and staff by Breitbart and other outlets that cater to dangerous figures. Through this investigative journalism we’ve learned that while we sat across the negotiation table with Facebook for years, Facebook’s leaders were giving oxygen to the worst anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of white nationalists to undermine our work. We have been working for years to ensure the safety of Black users by demanding protections for Black leaders doxxed by white supremacists on Facebook; working to ensure Facebook has transparent and just moderation policies; and demanding that Facebook put an end to racially targeted digital voter suppression. While we were operating in good faith to protect our communities, Facebook and Joel Kaplan were using the hateful tactics of the same far-right actors they were enabling on their platform. As long as Kaplan is working at Facebook, we cannot trust Facebook to combat hate on their platform, address online voter suppression efforts and disinformation campaigns, or properly conduct the public civil rights audit currently under way. Demand Facebook immediately fire Joel Kaplan for his role in leading a racist and anti-Semitic smear campaign against Color Of Change and other civil rights groups

Tired of our black men been killed and taken away from their families by other black males. Adam was not only a father and a twin, he was an artist on the rise. Please help by signing this petition so that his family and music won’t be in vain.

Because I am appalled at the blatant violation of voter rights in Georgia and think all U.S. citizens should be demanding full remedy.

The massacre of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue comes at a time when the Trump administration, the Republican Party and their enablers — at all levels — have fomented hate, fear, and white nationalism in our country. They have targeted the Muslim community, immigrants and refugees, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ people, and in recent weeks we have seen a marked escalation in their use of antisemitic images, rhetoric and conspiracy theories. The Trump administration, the Republican Party and their enablers have provoked violence against our communities. Our blood is on their hands. It is time to rise up together to demand our safety. We refuse to be divided. We refuse to be isolated from each other. We will outlive their hatred. Now, we're asking Jews and allies across the country to add your names to the demands of Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh who are rising up to demand the White House renounce white nationalism so we can all be safe.

Racial equity is about applying justice and a little bit of common sense to a system that’s been out of balance. When a system is out of balance, people of color feel the impacts most acutely, but, to be clear, an imbalanced system makes all of us pay. By immediately adopting a racial equity policy and curriculum, our school systems will create a greater balance that benefits all stakeholders.

The Mashpee Wampanoag, the People of the First Light, have occupied the same region for over 12,000 years and have faced diminishment of their homelands since colonization. The latest decision is a blow to Tribal sovereignty and undermines the future and sustainability of the tribal nation. The Tribe is asking Congress to protect its reservation lands and has put forth the "Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Reaffirmation Act (HR.312)." We are asking for signatures in support of this legislation.

Every day delivers news of fresh assaults to human decency and evisceration of our Democratic institutions. This continuous stream of Trump's lies and bullying erodes the quality of my life, and I do not feel safe under his leadership. Now in full-throttle, Trump's cheap tricks-- shameless lies, utter mean-spiritedness, and coliseum theatrics--to win at any cost are resulting that seem to increase his popularity, yielding to his authoritarian aspirations. We must vote for authentic security and the greatness of American Democracy, ethics, human rights, and environmental stewardship.

I am a transgender woman, and I have been out for 11 years. I've had to tolerate the government randomly getting to decide, instead of me or my doctors, what gender belongs on my various documents. If Trump succeeds in this inhumane plan, we will be regressing to outdated 1950s standards. I say no more. We fight for all rights.

Sometimes, I drive around Los Angeles and it’s painful to see so many people just living on the streets. I am talking about thousands of people just staying in tents or on the pavement. They don’t have shelters, food, or clothes. Why aren’t the officials doing something about it? Have they ever even been to these areas? LA is the capital of the movie industry and California is not the poorest state so we can and need to do better. These people need to have access to shelters that will help them transition to a better life. And if some of them have an addiction problem, we need to get them to recovery facilities. Some of them are kids. They should be in school. They should have a better life. We can’t turn our back on them. Together, let’s end Homelessness.

Per Marsy's Law [California Constitution, Article I, Section 28(b) Penal Code Section 679.026), the rights of the victim's were denied in this court hearing; they were not given advance notice of these proceedings (section 7) and they were denied the right to be heard before this matter was decided (section 8). This invalidates the court's decision and the case must be re-tried.

Assembly of Spanish & Mexican Land Grant Heirs for Political Action 34259 Quail Drive San Benito Texas 78586 An Open Letter To The Following Texas Public Officials: Governor, Honorable Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor, Honorable Dan Patrick, Attorney General, Honorable Ken Paxton, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Honorable Glenn Hagar, Commissioner of General Land Office, Honorable George P. Bush, Commissioner of Agriculture, Honorable Sid Miller, Commissioner Railroad Commission of Texas, Honorable Wayne Christian, Commissioner Railroad Commission of Texas, Honorable Christi Craddick, Commissioner Railroad Commission of Texas, Honorable Ryan Sutton, Chief Justice Supreme Court of Texas, Honorable Nathan L. Hecht, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-2, Honorable Don R. Willett, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-3, Honorable Debra Ledermann, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-4, Honorable John Devine, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-5, Honorable Paul Green, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-6, Honorable Jeff Brown, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-7, Honorable Jeffrey S. Boyd, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-8, Honorable Phil Johnson, Justice Supreme Court Texas P1-9, Honorable Eva M. Guzman, Joe Straus Speaker of the House Subject: Spanish and Mexican Land Grant Issues Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen: Regarding the longstanding controversy concerning illegal seizure of Spanish and Mexican Land Grants by the State of Texas, your attention is respectfully requested. Demand for action among Texas citizens affected by this injustice is progressively increasing. Driven by clear understanding of the precedent offered by past litigations, this historic travesty of justice is gaining momentous racial overtones. Multitudes of Texans believe that the primary motivation behind the state’s inaction stems from the fact that most land grants were Hispanic owned. Your sensible response could avert serious legal consequences for the state once the growing population of affected citizens reaches political solvency. It truly makes good sense to expedite examination of this issue with an open mind and judicious consideration. A proper example of this impropriety is the opinion of Justice Scalia … included herein for your recognition. Judge Scalia’s (land issue) opinion of the ADR in 1986, U.S. Federal District Court: " I want to make it clear that I read the holding of the opinion as limited by responsive to the precise and highly unique case before us. In particular, I do not read the opinion to hold that in a contemporary setting the United States Government can unlawfully expropriate property legitimately owned by aliens' property rights without compensation or consideration, and then totally avoid responsibility under our Constitution or other applicable laws of Nations. We have no occasion to consider such a situation here and we express no review on its legality”. AFFIRMED. THE SUPREME COURT DENIED AN APPLICATION FOR CERTIORARI WITHOUT GIVING AN OPINION (470 U.S. 1501; 1055C; 1751). Surviving families of Spanish and Mexican Land Grant Owners, lying between the Nueces and Rio Grande Rivers, are disparaged when referred to as “aliens”. Existing long before Texas became a state, and populated by a society governed by laws of nations, said Land Grant Owners properly possessed title and well-documented meets and bounds identifying each grant. Texas was non-existent then and subsequently held no right to confiscate those lands at any time, nor for any reason thereafter. Furthermore, the documented murders and crimes committed by Texas Rangers under the Administration of Governor James E. Ferguson, the 26th Governor of Texas, among others, which unlawfully displaced Hispanic Land Grantees from their lands, remain unresolved. Perhaps most unsettling, while Governor James E. Ferguson, on 1917 was impeached and removed from office on nine of twenty-one counts of unlawful acts, as substantiated by the Texas Senate, none of the charges included the horrific crimes he ordered against Hispanic landowners. Hence, the undersigned organizations are poised to begin organizing the law-abiding population of Texas to remedy these illegalities. Your action(s) to remedy this controversy with fair and equitable adjudication could encourage this burgeoning Hispanic population to serve a better purpose for Texas. Otherwise, if forced to defend its racial equality, this Hispanic movement would be most inclined to adopt an impartial mode. It is the desire of all undersigned to apply this political energy to a better Texas. We therefore respectfully request your attention and support to the resolution of this important issue. Specifically, the Texas Legislature should presently implement the following “Suggested Considerations for Resolution”: 1. Create a commission to examine and legally resolve the following: a. Crimes committed against Land Grant Families from the mid-1800s to the early 1920s, and dispense a judicious amount of collateral damage compensation for those harmed. b. Study mineral rights of heirs of Spanish and Mexican Land Grants and judiciously compensate those harmed ... under the same means used in “a” above. c. Investigate Treaty of Guadalupe Articles violated by Texas, the United State, and Mexico … and correct errors and omissions in lands confiscated from Spanish and Mexican families by the same measures taken in “a” above. d. Investigate U.S. Constitutional rights denied to Land Grant Heirs and correct by the same means taken in “a” above. e. Investigate and correct by means taken in “a” above, injustices of Court Judgements of Land Grant conflicts. f. Investigate & audit financial dispositions by the Texas Comptroller, of Oil Company monies surrendered to wrong parties as opposed to legal beneficiaries of Land Grantees. g. Develop a proper fiscal institutional venue to compensate Land Grant Heirs for past & future improper withholdings of any values retained or wrongfully distributed b...
