• Congress: Reform Non-violent Drug Sentences to Remove Mandatory Minimums
    We need to raise our voices about the mistakes the Reagan administration created, and correct them by contacting our congresspeople. The maltreatment of non-violent criminals needs to end, and they needed to be served time on an individual basis.

  • Stricter sexual abuse sentencing/punishments
    This is not only an ongoing issue worldwide, but it's neglected foremost. Child abusers-Pedophiles come from all walks of life. It's usually those who hide behind the cloak of normality and respectability within our communities who are the worst offenders of all as they will thrive on this respect and the control over their victim(s) in knowing that they can convince many others that the child is lying and/or looking for attention. Accusers are out on the streets still living a normal life, while these families are living with a life sentence that they had done to them. It is not these children's secret to keep but only the perpetrator monsters secret to try and protect. The memories of abuse will always, every day of the child's life, affect them. Children will be affected for the rest of their lives. Nightmares, not sleeping, bed wetting, therapy, full body medical exams, bloodwork for HIV and Std's; these poor babies. These pedophiles need harsher penalties, monitoring, full-term convictions, not plea bargains.

  • This police union wants dangerous cops back on the streets. Demand they stop.
    The reckless actions of St. Louis County police officers Alex Maloy and Mark Jakob killed two Black men, beloved community members Mikel Neil and Townsal Woolfolk. Then they lied about it to investigators. They’re exactly the kind of officers who shouldn’t have a badge and gun, and the police chief decided to fire them. So why is the local police union fighting to put them back on the police force? It’s another example of police unions defending officers and shielding them from accountability no matter what they do. On August 10, officers Alex Maloy and Mark Jakob started chasing a car after it allegedly ran a red light, going against department policy that prohibits car chases unless there’s a serious crime. Witnesses say that the high-speed chase resulted in the police car ramming a car, causing it to spin out of control and crash. The two men inside were killed, and the officers left the scene without helping or reporting what had happened. For months, the police department denied that the car chase happened. We organized to demand the truth and keep a spotlight on this case, and we were able to obtain two videos from surveillance cameras that clearly show the police car chasing another car at high speed, with its lights flashing. These videos forced the police to admit that officers Maloy and Jakob tried to cover up the truth, and the department fired them. But now, the St. Louis County Police Association -- a chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police -- is attacking that decision, and fighting to have these officers reinstated. This is the same union that failed to protect Nikki Brown, a Black officer who complained about discrimination within the department. Because the community organized for truth and justice, officers Maloy and Jakob were fired. But if the police union succeeds, these dangerous officers will be back on the streets. Police unions often succeed in reinstating abusive and corrupt officers after the community’s attention has moved on. It’s a key part of how police unions block accountability. We can’t let that happen here. If enough of us call out the police union, we can expose their attempt to block accountability, making it harder for them to get bad cops back on the force, in this case, and in the future. After you sign the petition, we’ll follow up with other ways to increase the pressure on the police union and push for justice in this case.

  • Justice for Eli Jacob Gutierrez
    Our loved one who has no criminal record other than a few traffic tickets was the victim of an armed robbery. He is a licensed gun holder who utilized his second amendment rights to defend his family and home. He is not a murderer and should not be charged as one.

  • End California’s Three Strike Laws
    It is wrong to punish an individual for a crime they have already served time for, more than once, like the current 3 Strikes Law does. This will affect all individuals doing additional time because of the current 3 Strikes Law.

  • Time to Implement Amendment 4!
    In 2018, Floridians voted to restore voting rights to felons who had served their time and paid their dues to society. The wording of the amendment includes self-implementation on 1/8/2019. Now DeSantis is suggesting the FL legislature should be involved. We must fight back against attempts to derail this important amendment to the FL Constitution.

  • #TheKillBillState
    If You Could Die Fast Or Slow, What Would You Choose? These are the words of a dying man. I've been labeled a menace to society and sentenced to die for my charges. Not the kind of death where I'll be strapped to a gurney and injected with poison, but the kind where my humanity is slowly siphoned off until there is no one left. What do I have to do to earn a more merciful death? If my heart had only been darker and my intent hellishly wicked, then public disgust and fear would have granted me a level of mercy that their sense of righteousness doesn't or won't. Before they allow me to die, it has been decided I shall first be required to bear the deaths of a number of friends and loved ones, without the benefit or comfort of being present I shall first be required to recite my name and prison ID number aloud every night (as if I need reminding) I shall first be required to subject myself to daily frisking by strangers I shall first be required to strip naked twice, bending over and spreading my cheeks both times while I'm commanded to cough, for two hugs and a few hours of conversation with those who have not yet passed away that I shall first have to live in a bathroom with another man, who I may or may not have reason to fear and I'm expected to continue this menial charade of an existence as my body withers and deteriorates until Mother Nature completes the process and kills me herself. I'm expected to do all of this, and more, with an attitude of civility and appreciation. If I fail to meet their subjective standards on either account, I risk having the sun taken from me, as well as, contact with the loved ones I have left. Every year, the State sits me down and asks what my goals for the year are, reviews my record of behavior, and then inquires what rehabilitative classes I intend to participate in. My goal is to continue maintaining employment and nurturing a healthy relationship with those I have left. My last infraction of the rules equates to a speeding ticket over a decade ago and I've taken every applicable class available (some twice). These answers are the same as last year. They pat me on the head and tell me I can return to my cell. I'm serving a sentence that does not grant me a meaningful opportunity to be released. My crime was judged undeserving of the reasonably expedient death (short on prolonged daily deprecation) provided under the death penalty. My sentence was issued under the guise of ethical treatment meant to ensure the punishment fits the crime. A person who's not bad enough to kill, just dehumanize and torture with a carrot of hope.
