Conflict minerals are often mined in brutal conditions of forced labour, debt bondage and even child slavery in the Congo. Slave-mined minerals are in many of our everyday electronic items: they generate hundreds of millions of dollars and fuel the world’s deadliest ongoing conflict. Huge progress is being made to rid our household electronics of modern slavery: Intel recently announced that all its new microprocessors will be free of conflict minerals and CEO Brian Kraznich has urged other companies to follow suit[1]. While Intel and many other electronics companies are making moves to ensure they’re no longer part of the violent cycle of conflict in the Congo, Nintendo – the world’s largest manufacturer of video game consoles – lags behind. We simply don’t know what steps the electronics giant is taking to ensure its products are free of the violence, murder and modern slavery associated with these minerals and its conflict minerals policy has been dismissed by experts as a “meaningless piece of paper”[2]. It’s time for Nintendo to stop playing games and step up its efforts to help end modern slavery.

This is a discriminatory law that will not stand in appeals. Many similar laws have already fallen in appeals. The U.S. attorney general has encouraged states not to defend these laws. The governor is wasting taxpayer funds for the purpose of political grandstanding.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear—a Democrat—didn’t get the memo that it’s 2014 and the march of history is on the side of equality: Just minutes after Attorney General Jack Conway announced that he would not appeal a federal court order to recognize same-sex marriages, Beshear announced that he would hire outside counsel to appeal on the state’s behalf. Jack Conway bravely stood up for the rights of all Kentuckians, declaring that an appeal would be “defending discrimination”—and he’s right. That’s what makes Steve Beshear’s decision to appeal so outrageous. Sign the petition to Gov. Steve Beshear: Don’t defend discrimination.

Racial classifications of American Indians were reclassified as Negro and colored during colonial years, and they were denied the ability to claim their heritage by state laws that were prejudiced against Native Americans. We today, are not the descendants of Africans. We are American Indian descendants and we demand the embracement and embracing of tribal blood and heritage like every other member of federal and state recognized tribes without having to deal with prejudices and racism.

I am a victim of Stalking. The man who is stalking me knew where I lived, when I moved, and knows where I currently live. I don't feel safe in my own home. Without an Address Confidentiality Program, like 31 other states have, this man stalking me will easily be able to find me if I move again.

Disabled Students have no voice on SGA. We have no representation on SGA. We have been segregated from other students. Disabled Students do not recieve Scholarships and CFellowships at UMKC. We are not admitted Professional Student programs. At UMKC we are even told that we cannot get certified to teach disabled children because we are disabled. Disability is not the end of the world but at UMKC disabled students cannot get an stipend for student employment like the other demographics. We need your help. Please sign this petition so that UMKC lets Disabled Students be a part of student government. Thank You in Advance

The state has disallowed normal voting hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., on Florida college campuses. This is an outrage.The Governor of Florida, a Republican, fears that students would vote Democratic and has chosen this method to silence us.

A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats, harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical or mental disability. Laws vary by state and if hate crimes are provided for by statute, the definitions of hate crimes and penalties imposed vary. States that have hate crime statutes provide harsher penalties for such offenses. The underlying criminal offenses that are designated in hate crime laws include, but are not limited to, crimes against persons like harassment, terroristic threats, assault and crimes against property like criminal trespass, criminal mischief and arson. The current federal law regarding hate crimes deals with crimes where the offender is motivated by bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or ethnicity/national origin.

Assembly Bill 54/Senate Bill 324 limits the time available to vote. People who work for a living, the elderly, and the disabled benefit from evening and weekend hours to vote. The legislature should be expanding voting hours to maximize participation in our electoral process not limiting them, the authority of local clerks to set hours, and the staff legally authorized to accept absentee ballots as mandated in AB54/SB324.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted says he’s cutting early voting on Sundays and weekday evenings—the times most popular for African-American early voters. In 2012, when Ohio Republicans first tried to cut back on early weekend voting, one local Republican official explained the GOP effort to end weekend voting as follows: "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban—read African-American—voter turnout machine." The cuts to weekend and weekday evening early voting coincide with two new bills signed into law by Republican Gov. John Kasich—One to shorten the early voting period by six full days and another that eliminates same-day voter registration entirely. Ohio Republicans also recently passed a law reducing the number of voting machines in the state, which will increase wait time for voters at the polls. This has got to stop. Sign the petition to Jon Husted: No cuts to early voting hours or times. Absolutely no cuts to voter access at all.
