By signing this petition, you are telling our President and Congress and Courts that you want this law repealed.

Until the unique experience of concurrent racism plus sexism is ended for women of color, women of color cannot move from the socio-economic bottom of society where 48% of housing foreclosures are women of color; women of color are dying at the highest level from every curable disease; only one woman of color has ever been in the US Senate; and 61% of Asian American, 74% of African American, and 75% of Latina American women over 65 cannot meet their basic needs for food, shelter, health care or employment. If there is no justice for women of color, society cannot be just. Freedom cannot be divided nor given to some while others are left out.

It is shocking that in the year 2012 our court system across the nation discriminates against the mentally disabled. The Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 clearly states that all public and private entities have a DUTY to grant Reasonable Accommodations for the disabled.

Kettleman City is a tiny Latino farmworker community in California's San Joaquin Valley that is polluted by a gigantic toxic waste dump, pesticides, diesel pollution and toxic-contaminated drinking water. Its residents suffer from horrifying rates of birth defects, miscarriages, cancer, asthma, and other illnesses. The health crisis in Kettlemant City is a reflection of environmental injustice -- low-income communities of color like Kettleman City have been targeted for years for the siting of dirty industries and toxic waste. The State Department of Toxic Substances in California and the US Environmental Protection Agency are getting ready to approve permits for the expansion of the Chemical Waste Management hazardous waste and PCB landfill, despite the violations, health crisis and racial discrimination in the permitting process - and we need your help to stop the permits and protect the people of Kettleman City! Please sign this petition to the DTSC, the USEPA and California Governer Jerry Brown to demand they deny new permits for the hazardous waste landfill, and end environmental racism now.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that anyone arrested by police can be strip-searched for any reason. ANY minor infraction including riding a bike without an audible bell; failing to use a turn signal; having a noisy muffler; engaging in a sit-in -- can now trigger a strip search. This ruling by the Supreme Court will enable police to strip search anyone without justification. Legislation is needed NOW to stop this appalling violation of civil rights.

Stop the pointless bickering about who can "get married." Let the legal rights and responsibilities of Wedlock accrue to any persons who sign a legal Contract of Wedlock.
