Police officers were called to a home of a young man that was having a PTSD episode only to end up being shot 12 -15 times by officers. You never want to believe it's about race but help the family understand this: https://www.facebook.com/MicMedia/videos/1998266460196122/?hc_ref=ARQTlkmXjN5OBTwPC75SwizK7koeKRkmYwlxulTP05GS7p6ryR-55WD4KY6PaZRCzY4 https://news.sky.com/video/knife-wielding-man-tasered-by-police-11325628 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1186351/Shocking-moment-Police-taser-knife-wielding-man-Hackney.html There has to be some consistency and more training on how to handle these types of 911 calls... I respect officers in their position to get home to their families but with a little more training it can help from destroying families in the process...

The DNA proved that it was not his blood type we are asking for any help we can get!

Melvin has earned the highest level of legal education possible as a prisoner and has helped many others gain their freedom. Please sign this petition and help Melvin realize his.

On July 31, 2018, the Migrant Center received a form letter denying her release without any explanation. However, in response to a media inquiry, on July 20, 2018, ICE told the press that they were keeping her in detention due to the prior removal order.

Bernie Sanders has joined the movement to #EndMoneyBail by introducing a bill in the Senate which would eliminate wealth-based pretrial practices! Activists have been organizing to fight against bail bond profiteers that are preying on low-income people of color who are disproportionately impacted by every aspect of the criminal justice system. The prison profiteer bail industry is working in states around the country to block grassroots bail reform initiatives which will lower mass incarceration rates and help keep families together. But the good news is that bail reform is moving quickly in many different communities. States like New Jersey and New Mexico passed reform policies, other states are attempting similar legislation, and the No More Money Bail Act has been already introduced by Representative Ted Lieu in the House. With such a strong backing at such a crucial time, it’s obvious bail reform is obtainable. But we must act now to solidify its success and make sure we dismantle the money bail system for the entire nation.

Prison reform. Yes, I have been affected by this issue.

Their grounds for confiscating were because I was a male between the ages of 18-40 traveling to a marijuana state ( which includes 30 states and the District of Columbia), also booking a one way ticket within a 72 hr period ( which is because it is cheaper, but I also book a one way back.). The cash the DEA confiscated was below the 10k rule and the phones are not listed on the letter they sent. In this letter they asked me for a petition and has 10 days to file a claim. This is something we need to abolish. They are interfering with finances which causes more issues.

Our criminal justice system is broken. There is one system for the privileged and another system for people of color, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Too many lives are impacted by these discriminatory policies. This must change! We hope you will join us at Our Revolution Essex County NJ in this fight! *1 should say end the criminalization*

Impeachment of Glynn County Magistrate Judge J Alexandra Atwood for violation of his Oath of Office, for illegally setting bail in a "Voluntary Manslaughter" {Murder} case. Ex-Kingsland GA Police Office Zechariah M. Presley was granted bail in the amount $100,000 even though he shot and killed Tony Green, Jr in cold blood, two shots from the back ~ a total of 9 bullets? He was Granted bail on Monday, July 23, 2018. In accordance with Georgia Law Magistrate Judges cannot set bail in cases of serious violent felonies {Voluntary Manslaughter} is listed in the SB 441 Mandatory Minimums, Georgia's Seven Deadly Sins, therefore magistrate Judges have "NO" jurisdiction nor authority to set bail in a Voluntary Manslaughter charge, this crime is only bailable before a Judge of Superior Court.

Introduced by Assemblymember Rob Bonta, the Pardon and Commutation Reform Act of 2018 will create the Pardon and Commutation Panel that will take over the responsibilities of the current Board of Parole Hearings. This five-member panel, each of who will have experience with “in community-based reentry, reentry services, community-based risk assessment issues, and immigration law” will meet monthly to review submitted applications for pardons and make recommendations to the Governor. In current law, the Governor is the only one who can pardon former inmates of their past crimes, a power that can easily be tainted by individual bias. These individuals can wait years to receive a pardon, and in those years, struggle to land jobs or, in the case of immigrants, face deportation due to their past criminal records. Allowing the panel to give pardons will expunge the criminal records of former inmates who have been reformed and are ready to be productive members of society. Though the Governor still holds the power to elect the candidates on the panel, the bill would force the committee to look at each recommended individual and give a response in one year (or 90 days if they are at risk of deportation by ICE). Thus, with AB 2845, more pardon cases will be examined each year and individuals are guaranteed a review of their case within a year rather than having their case ignored. This will allow reformed former inmates to be able to obtain jobs instead of being limited by their criminal record and help to solve the crimmigration crisis. ICE has been targeting immigrants with criminal records and using their criminal past as justification for their deportation despite showing they are productive citizens of society. A portion of these immigrants were raised in America and would not be able to adjust to a new lifestyle overseas.

My name is Jeannetta Mitchell and I am petitioning for a pardon for a 20 year old felony. This felony has prohibited me from some employment opportunities, school and business ownership opportunities. This felony has affected my life and now I am trying to make positive changes to my life, there are road blocks preventing me from going further in pursuing life long goals and accomplishments.
