I have been street harassed my entire life, and in 2005 I co-founded an organization called Hollaback! to end street harassment globally. We've collected 5,000 stories of harassment, and time and time again we hear from traumatized survivors that when they were harassed, bystanders tended to look away and pretend it wasn't happening. This deepened their trauma, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We've got to stop pretending that street harassment is normal; it's up to us to put a stop to it.

One week after a Ku Klux Klan member shot three people dead in an anti-Semitic hate crime, CNN is wondering: "Can the Klan rebrand?"

Netflix has an unprecedented library for media streaming and a sophisticated recommendation algorithm. Are we really supposed to believe it doesn't have the resources to improve its closed captioning?

On Dec. 3, 2010, Frederick J. Carter was lynched in Greenwood, MS under suspicious circumstances. Though it was quickly ruled a suicide, an independent autopsy shows homicide. I have been working with the family ever since for justice.

Twenty-two UCSC students were arrested and are facing civil and University judicial charges for peacefully demonstrating in solidarity with the UAW Teaching Assistant strike on April 2nd and 3rd. The University administration must stop this crackdown on labor activism and drop these charges.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commissiondoesn’t get to say religious plates are okay but non-religious plates are not.

How long does it take a trusted news source to turn a non-story into an exercise into racism, xenophobia and intolerance? Thirteen seconds with CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos.

When Aderonke was outed as a lesbian in Nigeria, she was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death, forced to watch her family be killed first.

They are always preaching about being accepting of others and to be tolerant, and by discriminating and saying that someone can not join because of there sexual orientation is wrong. Scouts could get there eagle and turn 18 then be forced to leave scouting after all there hard work

Ralph Reed has a long history of leading hate groups, yet somehow is afforded a seat at the table in serious discussions about civil rights and LGBT issues on major news outlets. Spouting mistruths and calling them facts (that somehow go completely unchecked by on-air personalities) in order to sway the minds of viewers, Reed has a mission to malign the LGBT community and promote animosity and hostility against them. Just this weekend on THIS WEEK, he stated falsely that "the social science is irrefutable" that a child growing up in a home parented by LGBT parents is "9 times more likely to drop out of school and 3 times more likely to grow up addicted to drugs". He also spoke of his organization's work "going into 100,000 churches (TAX EXEMPT CHURCHES) nationwide, conduct voter registration drives and pass out voter guides". Something is amiss and afoul here. This man SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN AIRTIME by major news outlets who claim fairness and a dedication to presenting viewers with facts and truth.

We are facing an unincorporated Washington County Ban brought to the commissioners by Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett. He is targeting our facility in Aloha. Last week the Wa Co planning commission rejected the proposed moratorium with a 6 to 3 vote. This week the Sheriff has emailed thousands and thousands of folks in Washington County to try and gain support. We need your support now for Tuesdays battle against this moratorium. Please do not let the County deny access to Dr recommended medication. This decision is made between a doctor and a patient. Not a Sheriff. 4300 card holders in this County deserve the right to their State approved medication. Thank you in advance for reading and signing our petition.

Tell Latta, South Carolina Mayor, Earl Bullard, to re-instate Police Chief Crystal Moore. Mayor Bullard didn't like it that the Latta Police Chief is gay. He issued 7 reprimands in one day (the first ever in her 20+ year career) and when she refused to sign them he fired her. The mayor said he'd rather have a drunk Chief than a gay Chief. The story is here: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/18/sc-town-fights-firing-of-lesbian-police-chief-by-mayor-who-says-gays-are-worse-than-drunks/ South Carolina has no protections for people against sexual orientation. It's time they did. In the meantime I think we need to send Mayor Bullard a message.
