Cancel Judge Genece Brinkley!Judge Genece Brinkley of Philadelphia is the reason Meek Mill has gotten caught up in this country’s broken criminal justice system. She is not only responsible for Meek Mill’s disenfranchisement, but she is responsible for the unjust jailing of an astronomical number of young black men. She continually files dozens of civil lawsuits against her own tenants (yes she is also a landlord of an apartment complex in the area) that have no legitimacy. She is a corrupt judge. She is just one more piece of this corrupt criminal justice system. Sign this petition and send to everyone. Post this link everywhere you can. Judge Genece Brinkley needs to go NOW, before anyone else under her rule is unjustly sentenced.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by McKenzie

Lower the penalty for misdemeanor marijuana offenses in Cleveland!It is time we HELP end the War on Marijuana! Cleveland is the 2nd largest city in Ohio and has roughly 400,000 residents that would benefit greatly from the Sensible Marijuana ordinance. The aggressive enforcement of marijuana possession laws needlessly ensnares hundreds of thousands of citizens into the criminal justice system and wastes billions of taxpayer dollars. Furthermore, this issue has been executed with staggering racial bias. Despite being a priority for police departments nationwide, the War on Marijuana has failed to reduce marijuana use and availability. It has also diverted resources that could be better invested in our communities. Together we can create a smart fair sensible marijuana ordinance in the City of Cleveland. The Sensible Cleveland Marijuana Ordinance would decriminalize in the city of Cleveland, OH : 1. Marijuana under 200 grams 2. Paraphernalia 3. Hashish under 10 grams 4. and allow one to gift up to 20 grams OUR MISSION: 1. Save taxpayer dollars 2. Better use of city resources and assets 3. Free the police for higher priority issues 4. Protect individual rights It is not fair for residents of Cleveland to be punished for minimal amounts of marijuana. It is our assertion that the current restrictions and policy regarding Marijuana Control in Cleveland doesn’t ensure public safety and wastes valuable resources. The current policies affect thousands of lives every year. When people are arrested for possessing even tiny amounts of marijuana, it can have dire collateral consequences that affect their eligibility for public housing, student financial aid, employment opportunities, child custody determinations, and immigration status. Thank you for giving your time - we need your HELP CLEVELAND! NO FINE NO TIME.190 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sensible Cleveland

Incarcerate Wendell Melton*Our Objective: We are initiating this petition because of the violent and heinous crime that was perpetrated against an unarmed 14-year-old child by his own biological father. Wendell Melton shot and killed his own son on 11/2/2017. He served 4 months in jail and has been living at home awaiting trial with an electronic leg monitor "Program of Intensive Supervision" (NRS 176A.440) prior to trial. According to the State of Nevada: "If the charges against you are sufficiently serious, the judge may hesitate to leave you at liberty while you are awaiting trial, even when you have already posted bail." Our Goal: Is to have Judge Eric Johnson revoke Wendell Melton's "Program of Intensive Supervision" and request that he return to jail and await his court Trial set for 3/10/2020. Why is this important? It is important because it is a slap in the face to our citizens that depend on the legal system in Nevada to be fair and protect us from violent criminals that kill children. This case was mismanaged from the beginning, Judge Eric Johnson was opposed to releasing Wendell Melton from custody, due to the nature of the crime, and flight risk, since the defendant is a licensed pilot. Proof of such statements can be reviewed on court video on 3/22/2018. It was D.A. Dijacamo that persuaded the judge to reduce bail from $808,000 to $200,000 and allow him to post bail for murdering an unarmed child in the chest. Witness to this court proceeding was the victim's mother, Veronica Melton, and Blue Montana. We also petition that the State provide an attorney to the victim's mother, Veronica Melton, in further proceedings. Had she had one on the day that Judge Johnson lowered the bail and let him out on house arrest, then her attorney could have rightfully objected to the motion, but the state and the victims of crime failed to provide one.152 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Veronica Melton

Unfair SentencingToo many low level, non-violent crimes are earning high level incarceration times. Prisons have become holding warehouses for those with mental health issues. These incarceration issues, along with the death penalty, erroneous convictions, and administrative punishment (solitary) have negative effects on prison population, financial stability, family outcome, mental health, and recidivism rates. Changes need to be made.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Shoffner

Please DENY the parole of Russell Franklin Stone/CDC #H-00697When I was 8 years old, my aunt was brutally stabbed to death with a kitchen knife by her husband, Russell Stone. He is currently up for parole again, and he still has never acknowledged the tremendous horror and suffering he has caused my family. I am personally a believer in rehabilitation if an inmate has actually shown evidence of such, but my aunt's killer has never acknowledged his crime nor shown repentance for it. For these reasons, I once again ask for your assistance in denying his parole and keeping a remorseless killer off the streets.634 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Rick Kitagawa

Free Russel "Renny" HarrisBlessings, Russel Renny Harris was convicted of conspiracy, murder, a sale and possession of controlled substances and sentenced to 48 and one-third years to life. Sadly, on December 16, 1991, on Beekman Avenue in the Bronx people lost their lives in a brutal senseless attack. Renny has already served 26 years and some months making him eligible for clemency or pardon. Renny used his time during incarceration to better himself, serving as a mentor to younger incarcerated individuals. He has maintained an above average academic, work and disciplinary history which shows his maturation. Those who have visited, corresponded and speak to him have seen, read and heard his growth. Petitioning for clemency would serve as another vehicle by which to obtain his freedom. Clemency or pardon is most commonly available to permit a judgment of conviction to set aside where there is overwhelming and convincing proof of evidence not available at time of conviction. There is nothing compelling the Honorable Governor Kathy Hochul to grant clemency to an actually innocent defendant. Hopefully, with the past and continued support of his devoted and loving family as well as friends, the Honorable Governor Kathy Hochul will see Russel Harris has a chance to productively, successfully and positively integrate himself back into his community and society.312 of 400 SignaturesCreated by LaTanya Harris

Immediate Removal of Judge James TroianoAs longtime champions of the rights of and justice for victims of sexual assault, we hope to ensure that the retired, but repeatedly recalled, Judge Troiano is never again allowed the opportunity to protect an alleged socially advantaged rapist from the consequences of his intentional and intimate harm to another, or to question the motives of the victim on the basis of the Judge's personal admiration for the perpetrator’s wealth, position, and assisted academic standing. Judge Troiano, in a decision that is shocking in its misconceptions about rape, power and trauma, disregarded objective legal analysis and sought to protect the perpetrator from the severity of his actions, trivializing the perpetrator’s conduct, questioning the motives of the victim in reporting, and justifying it all with the observation that the perpetrator “came from a good family” and therefore should not be held to adult standards for the adult crime of rape. NOT ONCE AT ANY POINT DID THE JUDGE EXPRESS ANY CONCERN ABOUT THE DEVASTATING EFFECT THE RAPE HAD AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ON THE VICTIM’S LIFE. In having the courage to seek criminal charges against this predator, the victim likely saved other young women from the same treatment throughout the remainder of this perpetrator’s life. It has long been known that those who assault without consequence tend to do so repeatedly. We are reassured by the Appellate Division’s strong language rebuking Judge Troiano’s treatment of the victim, the facts, and the law before him in this case. At the same time, we are mindful that the victim endured not just the rape and the aftermath, but the period during which it appeared that the perpetrator was more credible to and valued by New Jersey’s justice system than her fundamental right to privacy, to bodily integrity and to due process of law. To deliver justice to the victim, we urge you to sign this petition to the Committee on Judicial Conduct to request that Judge Troiano be immediately removed from the bench.301 of 400 SignaturesCreated by NOW New Jersey

Judge Van Aken: Release Kevin Epps on BailKevin Epps, an award-winning filmmaker and social justice activist, is being held without bail in the San Francisco County jail. He has been in custody since May 7, 2019, and is claiming self-defense for a 2016 incident in which he was never charged. Judge Van Aken denied bail to Kevin based on preliminary evidence that led her to believe that he is a danger to the community. Several court hearings later, we believe that the evidence against Kevin has not held up to justify her initial judgment. We are asking Judge Van Aken to reconsider releasing Kevin Epps on bail to best serve him, his family, and the community. Since 2016, Kevin continued to work as a filmmaker, has been a caretaker for his mother and children, and posed absolutely no substantial threat toward anyone. For more information on his case and to support him and his family directly, please go to his GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/x48br-free-kevin-epps725 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Tobee Chung Vanderwall
