I parked my car in front of my house 14 min before NO PARKING street cleaning time was up, after the street sweeper went through, and I was charged $80!!! Minimum wage in Los Angeles is $9/hr. A minimum wage worker makes $81 in an 8hr work day. With taxes, Social Security, and all of the stuff you take out of the wage, it will take two full days to pay for one parking ticket (for street cleaning). A parking ticket is supposed to be a slap on the wrist and not break the bank!

The idea that the people who knowingly kept a person inside a hot shower until said person died are not guilty of said person's death is preposterous and is not justice, and we the people have both the right and the responsibility to demand justice.

According to the most current FBI reports, a white police officer killed an African American individual nearly two times a week in the United States. The Department of Justice has found a pattern of excessive force within a number of major police departments.

Aubrey Jones lost her fiance, and after becoming a victim of cyberbullying, she ended her life 4 days later, leaving behind a 4 year old and a newborn baby! I think the people who are responsible for pushing her and blaming her, threatening her, should be held accountable

Loved one of an inmate at River North Correctional Center and prison reform advocate.

Court-appointed guardianship does the exact opposite of what it says it does. It is plundering the estate of my mother without oversight. There are layers of court-appointed lawyers appointed as her guardian charging exorbitant fees that we are forced to pay because a judge says we must. It is a corrupt system that is legal. She has no access to her social security or retirement money.

Today during the women's strike march in NY, organizers were arrested for "civil disobedience". These women marched today peacefully for their rights and to let their voices about these issues be heard. We can't let them arrest people just for using their first amendment guaranteed by law. We will resist and we will fight, so stand with me on this issue and sign and share this petition.

State lawmakers are introducing legislation to curb protest activities. This is an attack on our rights to free speech and our rights to gather with like-minded individuals.

We have seen too many people in the U.S. die at the hands of unqualified and ill-equipped police officers who are meant to serve and protect the people, not disrespect and murder them. We need a change, and the beginning to this should be steeper qualifications.

CPL Grant Burris a former Marine was killed in a hit & run. ADA says he is giving Dreu Wikle Probation. It's time to stand up and say this is unacceptable. Sentencing (probation) was set for April 12, 2017 at 8:45 a.m but Judge Burgess who will be hearing this case moved it to April 13,2017 at 2:30 p.m sounds fishy to me, but I will be attending both dates! I don't trust this system for one second.

Americans of all political stripes can agree that our government should make decisions to serve us -- not deep-pocketed special interests. That duty is especially important for the Attorney General, who’s charged with protecting our civil rights and impartially enforcing our laws. But Attorney General Jeff Sessions has just directed the Department of Justice to reverse its previous decision and continue to use private prisons, which have come under fire from civil rights activists for human rights abuses and a lack of public oversight. Why? Just follow the money. Throughout his career, Sessions has benefitted from huge sums of political spending by private prison companies. And that industry made massive investments in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign -- one firm, the GEO Group, spent $100,000 to elect Trump through a SuperPAC, then gave $250,000 to his inauguration. This week, their investments paid off -- private prison stock prices have skyrocketed since Trump’s election, and increased even further since Sessions issued his directive. Sessions is also driving Trump’s promised ramping up of immigration enforcement, which will put even more undocumented people into immigration detention facilities and lining the private prison industry’s pockets even further. The private prison industry’s interests run directly counter to those of the American people -- majorities of Americans support criminal justice reform, but companies like the Corrections Corporation of America lobby for longer, harsher sentences which deliver huge profits for them. Private prisons are notorious for cutting corners, human rights abuses, and lack of public accountability. They’re the last industry that our government should be doing special favors for. Add your name and tell Attorney General Sessions to prove that his Department of Justice isn’t for sale to the highest bidder by reinstating the plan to end its use of private prisons.
