• AB 1810: Destroying Victims Rights and Public Safety
    In the words of San Diego County DA Summer Stephan: "The current language in AB 1810 allows mental health treatment pre-trial diversion for every type of crime including serial rape and murder. The bill allows no exclusion for the type of crime committed. No exclusion for prior criminal history an diversion instead of prosecution that would be available for those with almost every kind of mental health diagnosis. This means paraphilia, often diagnosed as the mental health issue for serial rapists and depression, often associated with mass school shooting murders are not excluded." Read paragraph 13 of AB 1810 yourself. What kind of CA will our children inherit from us? Summer Stephan went on to call AB 1810 a "Dangerous social experiment" and said that there are few serious felony offenses where the mental health of the defendant is not called into question. Please sign this petition demanding revisions to this dangerous bill!

  • Investigation of law enforcement practices and protocols
    My brother was a victim of a double homicide over a year ago on April 6, 2017, in Tupelo, MS. Since then, the local law enforcement agency here has neglected to make contact with either of the victim's families nor make any arrests despite DNA evidence, eye witness testimonies, and confessions.

  • Expunge Rick Simpson ("Oil's") Criminal Record in Canada
    The WORLD has been positively affected by Rick Simpson's humanitarian efforts; traveling the world teaching others how to heal themselves and others with his Cannabis Oil, in a world dominated by pharmaceutical companies 'for-profit' mentality. He has a criminal record for these efforts when he should be recognized as a NATIONAL HERO and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. We must reverse this unjust criminal record, especially since Canada has now legalized MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

  • USA "8 th Amendment " HEAT TDCJ
    Cruel abuse in the TDCJ Ferguson unit in Midway, Texas: My son is an inmate at this unit and after multiple pleas to everyone, I could think of this is my last resolve! The heat is being used as a form of torture. The 8th Amendment Rights states "no cruel and unusual punishment shall be exhibited." We beg of you for help for all the men and woman suffering.

  • Revoke Bail/House Arrest for Officer Michael Rosfeld
    This case involves the Police murder of an unarmed Black Victim. Normal Defendants accused of criminal homicide are NEVER given bail nor house arrest. The Allegheny County Judicial system has shown its prejudice by granting bond and house arrest to a Police Officer accused of murdering an unarmed African American male.

If we don’t use our voices or petition the State, this could have repercussions across the county.

  • People are being TORTURED and DYING in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ)!
    So, imagine with me that YOU are sitting in your hot car at over 100 degrees for several hours a day and for days on end (I dare you to try it). This is the reality of over 130,000 people within the TDCJ system. The inhumane conditions of lacking proper ventilation and temperature control within the TDCJ is a form of Torture! TDCJ continues to allow people to suffer in heat indexes of up to and over 149°F, as reported by the Hutchins Unit on July 19, 2011. The temperature log of a TDCJ unit documents temperatures ranging from 117°F to over 149°F. Now imagine you are the Mother, Father, wife, Husband, or child of someone who is suffering; what would you do about it? Here are a few examples of reports that Texas Prisons' A/C Advocates have received from families and people on the inside: “My son called me earlier around 7-ish. He said it's so hot, mama. This breaks my heart to the core.” “He said it feels like you are cooking in there!” “My son tells me it's so hot he puts water on the floor 'n lays down on it. He also wets his towel 'n puts it over his head 'n it drys up so quick cuz of the heat” “..in the dinner line or lunch line and when u sat down to eat sometimes they close u in with no fans going and no air conditioning at all with about 50 to 100 inmates plus how hot the kitchen is from cooking. It's like suffocating.” “He said the heat in there is extremely overwhelming and it’s hard to even breath. He’s a young man (24) and healthy …. He has already lost 7 pounds since first of May.” “..he says the cells are just heat boxes. When he wets a towel, it dries up in minutes. “…it was extremely hot in the dorms, I remember laying on the floor with no shirt on just in my sports bra just to get cool. Some ladies would get their sheets wet in the shower just to stay cool.“ Yet, despite several deaths, a plethora of media reports, wrongful death lawsuits filed, and complaints from family members and union officials for well over 18 years, TDCJ is still refusing to take basic steps to provide humane conditions for the people in their care. It seems reasonable that if TDCJ has money in the budget to replace its aging swine-production facilities with 6 new climate-controlled modular barns, at a cost of $750,000, surely they could treat people better than pigs. Surely, we can treat human beings at least as well as the pigs and dogs. This unconscionable behavior of allowing people to be tortured by deadly heat conditions must cease. What are we asking for? The same conditions that The Texas Commission on Jail Standards already requires. Every county jail needs to maintain internal temperature stays between 65 and 85 degrees. Other states with hot climates, such as Arkansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, air condition their prisons, and even the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is air-conditioned. By the way, did you try the Hot Car dare? Texas Prison A/C Advocates (TPAA)

  • Protecting pregnant medical marijuana patients
    Pregnant women are having their babies ripped away daily for their medical choices to consume marijuana over pharmaceuticals due to a medical condition in Colorado. Many doctors will prescribe medications that have been proven to cause birth defects but do not condone medical marijuana use during pregnancy. It is a mothers job and right to protect their children the best we know how, we know that any medication while pregnant can be potentially harmful but when medically necessary we want the right to choose plant based medication over pharmaceuticals. #OneTeamOneDream

  • Get the FBI to investigate the Shreveport/Bossier judicial system
    I've personally experienced the judicial corruption in Shreveport/Bossier for nearly a decade, having been illegally arrested by a bail bondsman and convicted on the charge, my children being adopted by my parents without due process and no legitimate reason, and having my phone searched by law enforcement with no open case or cause while under a witness subpoena, among many other infractions. This criminal behavior has to stop! The Louisiana, judicial system is essentially a corrupt network of law officials seeking power and monetary gain!

  • To Move Zeph Pitt From the United States Penitentary "Canaan" in Waymart, PA; to the Bureau of ...
    My son Zeph Pitt, has a number of medical issues,. When he was arrested, over 3 years ago, he had just been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, had a torn A/C joint in his shoulder; a mass in one testicle, with pain and swelling, and degenerative disc disease with osteoarthritis. He was transferred to four facilities during the two and a half years awaiting sentencing. Each move meant starting over as medical records do not follow the inmate! Now sentenced to a federal facility so remote, it is not near any adequate medical treatment. It has been over 7 months and no MRI yet. It took almost 9 months to get the MRI at the first jail in 2015. His labs show the Hepatitis is getting worse; but no treatment is being given. The muscles in his right bicep and chest muscles are atrophying, which causes great weakness on the right side. And just as an aside, it took 4 months to get approved for a tooth cleaning. and the approval letter stated it would be a 12 or 18 month wait for the dental care. The worst part of course, is he didn't even go out and commit a crime! (Not just a Mom being blinded.) He made dumb choices long ago, as a young man, paid the price, and had no intention of breaking the law... Long story, we have an appeal in the works, but meanwhile I'd like to keep him alive so he can get a chance to be the man he wants his children to know
