• Stop Police Violence and Genocide in our Community
    The Petition's focus is the Violence and Brutality visited on Hispanic and African American's by Police Officers. In California, the Police are protected by the Police Officers Bill of Rights. There are no rights afforded the victims, most of whom die at the hands of Police Officers. This Petition calls on our elected officials to intervene on behalf of the Murdered victims of Police Actions and those who are at risk of being murdered.

  • Faith Leaders Urge Mayor & Council to Support Occupy Oakland Camp
    The City of Oakland seems poised to remove the Occupy Oakland encampment at any moment. Support by clergy and religious leaders to prevent an eviction is critical at this moment. Please sign this Statement to help persuade City Council and Mayor Quan that this encampment is a profoundly symbolic and vital part of the Occupy Wall Street movement which seeks to expose the suffering of millions of Americans and restore justice in our economy. We believe Oakland should be a model city by showing the world just how local governments can work together with the encampment to realize the dreams and aspirations of the 99% and make the city work for the 100%

  • Tell DOJ to Block Discriminatory Voter ID Laws
    The largest rollback in voting rights in over a century is now underway. A wave of restrictive laws passed in 13 states will mean that next year as many as 5 million Americans could find voting difficult, and even impossible. With even more states considering such legislation, the voting rights of over 21 million Americans nationwide could come under attack. In 2011, 38 states proposed legislation designed to make it harder to vote at every step of the process. New laws restrict the forms of ID allowed to vote, reduce early voting, place restrictions on voter registration, and deny voting rights to Americans with criminal records who have paid their debt to society—measures that disproportionately impact African Americans, Latinos, senior citizens, people with disabilities, and young voters. Sign this petition to Attorney General Eric Holder asking the Justice Department to enforce the Voting Rights Act and intervene to stop discriminatory voting laws. Visit advancementproject.org for more information on protecting our voting rights.

    President Nixon and the FDA misclassified cannabis as a Schedule I forbidden drug (same scheduling as heroin) in 1970. This has never been corrected and cannabis cannot become federally legal until it is re-scheduled by Congress or the US Attorney General.

  • Raw Milk allowance
    Pasteurization kills the natural enzymes in milk making it not only less digestible but robbing us the amount of enzymes our bodies need to break down food, so it is crucial and an undeniable right of the citizens of this country to be allowed to buy Raw Milk, from Free Range-Grass Fed cows who have not received any Hormones or Antibiotics and for that milk to be found in every supermarket.
