Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA are only a handful of cities in a handful of counties that explicitly prohibit employer discrimination based on one's sexual orientation... isn't it about time to expand this policy across the entire state of Pennsylvania in all of its 67 counties?

As a registered Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) for state and federal contracts, Prime Contractors are able to seek "waivers for minority participation" and subcontracting opportunities. Prime Contractors are submitting waivers without the knowledge of certified MBE and DBE businesses. Although there are contracts that seek MBE and DBE participation, these waivers are being abused by Prime Contractors. State and Federal governments should "require" MBE and DBE participation and not allow waivers. This would allow MBE and DBE business to succeed in the market place, increase employment opportunities, increase revenue, and become leaders in their communities.

Under the auspices of an independent commission, the Council has implemented a bold incumbent protection program that has disenfranchised Latino/as and helped disgraced sexual abuser Vito Lopez and the people who support him. We call on the Speaker to hold a vote of the City Council to veto these lines before they take effect on Thursday, December 6th.

The Cihak family of Barnesville, Minnesota, are faithful Roman Catholics who raised their son Lennon in the church. Last month, 17-year-old Lennon was preparing to make his confirmation when the family's parish priest found out that Lennon had posted a photo on Facebook opposing an anti-gay ballot measure. When Lennon refused to recant his support for marriage equality, the priest refused to confirm him and began denying Holy Communion to the entire Cihak family. With this story making national news, we have an opportunity to shine a spotlight on how right-wing extremism is hurting the church. Let's show the local bishop that we're standing with the Cihak family and demand that he stop priests in his diocese from using holy sacraments as political weapons.

Tell the U.S. Senate, just say "NO!"... Where does it stop?!?
