These statues are a form of subliminal and institutional racism and must be removed.

Dylann Roof committed domestic terrorism in the name of the Son's of the Confederacy. He has Confederate Iconography all over his social media accounts. The racist beliefs that Dylann Roof exhibits were birthed out of the his beliefs in confederate principles. This flag no longer has a place in American Society and we as a nation can not move the conversation of racial equality forward with it in place above government buildings anywhere in America.

Symbols of hate have no place in our government. The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism. On the heels of the brutal killing of nine Black people in a South Carolina church by a racist terrorist, it's time to put that symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!

Symbols of hate have no place in our government. The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride, but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism. In the S.C. Declaration of Causes of Session it clearly states that the reason for leaving the union was over the right to own slaves. It's time to put the symbol of that rebellion behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!

To bring awareness on the situation of Dominicans of Haitian Descent and Haitian Migrants in the Dominican Republic who are facing massive deportation without due process.

Everyone deserves the same fair and equal treatment, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. "Open to the public" should mean open to everyone, fairly and equally. Unfortunately, in Pennsylvania it is still completely legal to be turned away from a business, fired from a job, or evicted from a home just for being gay or transgender. Polls show that 74% of voters in Pennsylvania agree that no one should be discriminated against for being gay or transgender, and voters agree that there should be a law to protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Our state legislature has been considering an update to the nondiscrimination laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity for more than a decade. The time has come to update the nondiscrimination laws of the commonwealth. Sign our petition to the PA State Legislature and tell them to end legal discrimination against gay and transgender people now.

"Call my mama, oh God!" 15-year-old Dajerria Becton cried, as Eric Casebolt, an adult male police officer, forcefully swung her by her arm to the ground. "On your face!" he ordered, slamming her head into the grass face-first. He then pinned her to the ground with his knees—a child, who was crying for her mother. Watching the video of what happened at an end-of-the-year school pool party in McKinney, Texas, and hearing a young teen calling out for her mother to ease her fear and help her be safe, what mother's heart could take it? And Dajerria was not the only incident that day. Officer Casebolt singled out many other black teens for abuse, violently arresting, verbally assaulting and physically attacking a number of African-American young people, and even drawing his gun on teens who tried to intervene on Dajerria’s behalf. A white teen attending the party, who easily videotaped the attack, observed, “Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic... [The cop] didn’t even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible.” In an interview, the teen further added, "He [Casebolt] skips over me and tells all my African American friends to go sit down." Officer Casebolt's actions reflect a deeply discriminatory and abusive culture of policing within McKinney law enforcement. Officer Casebolt has resigned, but it's not enough. He, as well as the other officers present that day who stood by and allowed this police violence to take place, must be held accountable.

Gov. Snyder signed into law an Indiana-style adoption RFRA bill that lets adoption agencies discriminate against prospective parents based on their religious beliefs. Tell Gov. Snyder that you won’t stand for tax dollars going toward discrimination.

"He grabbed me, twisted my arm on my back and shoved me in the grass and started pulling the back of my braids," — 15-year-old Dajerria Becton This past Friday, McKinney law enforcement responded to a call from white residents that a group of Black teens, 13 — 16 years old, attending a pool party “did not have permission to be there.” One of the residents is reported in having told the kids to go back to “Section 8 housing.” Officer Eric Casebolt violently arrested, verbally assaulted and physically attacked a number of the teens, including Dajerria Becton who was body slammed, pinned down and put in handcuffs while unarmed and wearing a bikini. Ofc. Casebolt then drew his gun at teens who came to Dajerria’s rescue. McKinney law enforcement and Officer Casebolt's violence against these teens highlight the systemic abuse, injustice, and criminalization that Black girls and women face at the hands of law enforcement every day. Police treated all of the Black teens unjustly, but the gender and racial stereotypes underlying their behavior are highlighted when Officer Casebolt spoke to the group of Black girls. "Stop running your mouth" and "get your a***** out of here," he shouted to the group of teenage girls in bathing suits before violently grabbing Dajerria by the hair, slamming her head into the pavement, and digging his knee into her back while she laid face down in the grass. In addition to Officer Casebolt, the other 11 police officers who stood by and allowed this violence to continue must be held accountable and Attorney General Lynch should launch a full investigation into the discriminatory policing practices of the McKinney Police Department. Join us in urging local officials to fire Officer Casebolt and charge him with assault and battery for his brutal and discriminatory actions.

Nobody should have to choose between a job and healthy pregnancy, especially at the moment they need it most. Recently introduced with BIPARTISAN support, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would make it unmistakable: Employers must provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers who need them. Despite the Pregnancy Discrimination Act's requirement that pregnant workers receive equal treatment, the fact is that some employers are still firing pregnant employees for requesting simple accommodations, such as avoiding heavy lifting or even being able to take extra water breaks. Tell your members of Congress to support the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act now!

Every eligible American should have an equal opportunity to vote, and it should be free, fair and easily accessible. But due to outdated standards and practices, far too many people find themselves excluded from exercising this right. Same-Day Registration (SDR) is a pro-voter reform that fixes this problem and re-orients our democratic systems back towards the people. Senator Margaret Rose Henry is working to expand voting rights in Delaware by sponsoring an SDR bill that will allow eligible Delaware voters to register to vote on Election Day and then immediately cast a ballot. SDR pays numerous dividends. First, it provides an important opportunity to dramatically increase voter registration and electoral participation, as SDR states typically rank among the highest in the nation in voter turnout. Second, SDR remedies inaccurate voter rolls and protects the integrity of the vote, by allowing voters to update their records at all polling locations. Third, SDR is cost-effective, as it reduces the need for paper provisional ballots — ballots that often go uncounted in Delaware. SDR particularly facilitates higher turnout among marginalized communities historically underrepresented in our democracy, including (but not limited to) citizens who are low-income, young people, and people of color. In a 1957 speech titled "Give Us The Ballot," Dr. King made a vivid case for why voting rights are so critical in our society: "So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself. I cannot make up my mind — it is made up for me. I cannot live as a democratic citizen, observing the laws I have helped to enact — I can only submit to the edict of others." Tell the Delaware State Senate to adopt a common-sense upgrade to the state’s electoral system, and ensure that all those who are qualified to vote possess the most efficient means to do so.

Workplace bullying is a major problem and significantly affects the lives and health of those affected. It is status blind. Targets of workplace abuse not covered by standard harassment laws supporting protected classes require support. Employers need to take responsibility and provide a healthy working environment. Bullying in the workplace causes the loss of billions from our economy, targets may suffer health harming effects and career damage.
