Tell Nigeria to stop detaining and release our leader and let us be... we have suffered a lot of marginalization in the hands of the northerners. We want freedom and freedom we must get.. we are calling on the UN and corporate bodies to come to our aid... we want freedom!!!!!!!

Bullying, intimidation, harassment, threatening behavior by managers cannot be tolerated and such behavior can only be extinguished by standing firm with your colleagues who have experienced such behavior and demand extinction and change of leaders who display such behavior. If you have experienced this at work let us know, if you haven't, then support those who have.

This is the beginning of breed-specific legislation in our area. It will effect people personally, and financially with homeowner tax increases. They have already removed the police from a heroin infected town.

I am an indigenous mother of North America whose lawfully acquired home has been attacked by a descendant of Europe who is capitalizing on the fact that State and City offices have the option of acknowledgment of Indigenous people of The United states of America, including North America, Central America and South America. The current laws that govern and protect us are at an International level and must be written into Local and National Legislature.

In December 2014 a bill was put forth to sell 2,400 acres of Apache Holy Land to an Australian/British company that intends to mine the property. This action has detrimental effects for both the Apache people and the environment. We are asking people to sign this petition to reverse this action.

We have been subjected to this ignorance for too long.

There are many reasons why I am starting this petition. First, African Americans are not respected and treated equally in this country. Second, there have been too many coincidences in which African American men, boys, and women have been gunned down by outraged law enforcers and vigilantes. This has to stop. Thirdly, the time is now for us to stand up and fight for equal justice and rights for all African American citizens. I am personally affected by the issue of gun violence being committed against African Americans because I am an African American male and I could be a victim of injustice next. As African Americans, we must stand together and fight the Injustice System that has been murdering us and acquitting those who also do the same. In too many cases, we hear about young African Americans being gunned down by police. There is a long list starting with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freedie Graye, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott, Laquan McDonald and all other African Americans who were victims of gun violence committed by law enforcers. Let's eradicate the number of African American victims by signing this petition and getting the attention of Congress and the White House. Thanks, Antonio Miller

The police is harassing the F. O. I. For going on the street corners to sell The Final Call Newspaper. They been giving us tickets and now is threatening to arrest us. I personally have been arrested in 2005 for seling The Final Call Newspaper. My charge was obstruction passage highway.

Voting rights are under attack – and we desperately need to modernize and restore the Voting Rights Act’s protections against discrimination. But the bipartisan bill to do that, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, is caught in Congressional gridlock. We have a unique opportunity for progress. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) is the newly elected Speaker of the House. He’s promised to fix dysfunction in Congress and unite lawmakers in support the essentials -- things every American can agree are important. And what’s more essential than voting? The right to vote is just too important to be a partisan political football. For decades, legislators crossed the aisle in Congress to protect our most fundamental of constitutional rights; we can get there again. Sign your name and tell Speaker Ryan to get it done!

4 white supremacists terrorized an ongoing protest in support of a victim of police violence, shooting 5 protesters Monday night. Jamar Clark, an unarmed 24-year-old Black male shot and killed by Minneapolis police on November 15th. Eye witnesses say Clark was handcuffed and not resisting at the time of his execution-style shooting. [1] Because the entire incident was caught on police dashcam, Black Lives Matter Minneapolis (BLM-MN) began camping out in front of the 4th Precinct police station to demand the release of the video. White supremacists showed up in ski masks and as protesters chased them out, they shot into the crowd hitting 5. When police arrived on the scene in riot gear, they pepper-sprayed protesters before attempting to pursue the shooters. [2] From racist backlash against civil rights workers to support for racist attacks by leading presidential candidate Donald Trump, this act of terror is an attempt to stop Black communities from organizing for their rights. We call on white allies, and all people of good conscience, to condemn and mobilize against these attacks and on the United Nations and Organization of American States to lead an international effort to protect the democratic rights of protesters.

I am a Maine Indigenous woman from the Penobscot Tribe. I want to make the state a place that does not condone racism and mistreatment of my people.

White student unions create an atmosphere of hatred and prejudice toward people of color on university and college campuses. I personally feel threatened by the sudden increase of white student unions around the country.
