On March 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM in the afternoon, A'mani Miller, 23 years young, beautiful, intelligent and talented, was on a work shift, delivering construction materials just like he usually did at this time on a weekday afternoon. However, On what seemed to be an ordinary Monday changed our lives forever. His mother, father, family and friends were informed that he had been a victim of a crime. A'mani was beaten, stabbed multiple times, shot multiple times and shot in the head. We believe that he may have made a pit stop on his way to work that day... We're not sure how his lifeless body was found on the 5th floor of 2125 Rockaway Parkway in The Bayview Houses located in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York (NYC). BAYVIEW IS A GOVERNMENT HOUSING PROJECT. He did not reside there. He lives in the gentrified section of Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, NY. He had no known contacts there and he did not work there. A'mani had no criminal history and he loved everyone. The Bayview NYCHA housing project is known to be a cesspool of crime. THERE ARE NO CAMERAS and Police presence is slim. Why was this horrible crime allowed to happen on Government property ?! A'mani was loved so dearly by everyone!!! He is deeply missed. Please sign this petition... It is unacceptable that these crimes keep happening on GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. We must take action to stop it. Please pray for the family. Peace and be safe. Thank you and God Bless!

This petition is to cause attention to be brought to the Shelby County judicial system that not only wrongfully charge our black males but also, when there is no case or no evidence, falsely put together evidence so that they can get a conviction. Edgar Smith was charged with first-degree murder July 2014 when a store surveillance tape, which showed that the perpetrator was clearly not him, was lost or mishandled by the prosecutor. Now, weeks before the trial, the prosecutor has an "edited" tape that shows Edgar in the scene and a new witness who can identify him. Edgar is not the only black male in the Shelby County Jail system who has been held for years under false allegations or by the prosecutor mishandling the evidence. We are tired of having our black males taken away from their families for years just to set them free without restitution or getting the public defender to make them feel like it's no matter if you are innocent or not, you need to take this deal because there is no hope.

Black Lives Matter http://blacklivesmatter.com Loretta E. Lynch Attorney General of the United States U.S. Department of Justice/Civil Rights Division 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Judge Howard Z. Simms Superior Court Judge 601 Mulberry St Macon, GA 31201 State Office Georgia NAACP State Office 100 Edgewood Ave, SE, Suite 1610 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Rev. Al Sharpton National Action Network House of Justice National Headquarters 106 W. 145th Street New York, NY 10039 Macon, Georgia Superior Court Judge Howard Simms, and K. David Cooke, Jr. Bibb County Georgia District Attorney must go. The community has stood by quietly, helpless, and observed these individuals giving prejudicial sentences to young citizens in our community. Judge Simms has the chutzpah to verbally abuse most defendants in his unrelenting and harsh sentencing methods. Judge Howard Simms and District Attorney David Cooke, Jr. are two sides of the same coin. These two gentlemen must go; they have destroyed families all over Macon, Georgia just to score political points, and notwithstanding, most defendants are innocent who could not afford an applicable legal defense. Simms and Cooke should have conducted themselves to the standards in the code of professional responsibilities. These are high standards, which they have not met. A lawyer, judge, and a district attorney who violate the code must be charged with professional misconduct. Judge Simms has verbally abuse defendants and most family members in his reckless verbal assaults. When a judge acts inappropriately while overseeing a case, we have the option of filing a complaint. Complaints are not something to be taken lightly and should be filed only when the judge has truly acted in a way that violates ethical standards. He has! Judge Simms violated this standard in the State of Georgia VS. Devontae Haywood. Judge Simms has constantly humiliated innocent defendants more often than not. All the while he rightly owned his own personal misdeeds. Judge Simms has his own unprofessional skeleton bones in his closet. Judge Simms did not uphold the integrity of the judiciary here, and he has violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, the Rules of Civil Procedure, and the criminal statutes. Not to mention, Judge Simms and District Attorney Cooke violated Mr. Devontae Haywood's civil and constitutional rights. Anytime a judge sentenced an innocent defendant to prison, that judge has committed a crime. These are all violations of Canon 1. A nondiscriminatory judge shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety with his unseemly disrespect to the court. Judge Simms demonstrated impropriety with the appearance of impropriety. These are all violations of Canon 2. Judge Simms sentenced Devontae Haywood, an innocent and petrified child, to an elongated prison sentence. This made no sense based upon the facts and the law. We believe he has shown the appearance of impropriety. Canon 2-A states; • A Judge shall respect and comply with the law. • A Judge shall promote public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary. • A Judge shall promote public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary. Judge Simms defamed this young child. Judge Simms conveyed an act of communication that caused Mr. Haywood to be shamed, ridiculed, and lowered in the estimation of the community and he has suffered a damaged reputation. Judge Simms is notorious in defaming defendants just to get his fifteen minutes of fame with the media, or he is desperately trying to get himself a reality show at the expense of innocent and wrongly accuse defendants. Mr. Haywood could not afford a good defense attorney. His court appointed attorney (Larry Fouche’) was unproductive and ineffective at best, and extremely amateurish at worse. Moreover, Attorney Larry Fouche’ openly communicated to Mr. Haywood that prior to this inequitable sentencing phase; the prosecutor did not have any physical evidence against him. He frightened Mr. Haywood and told him by going to trial it could lead to a life sentence, which is why they hoodwinked and tricked him to take a plea. To this day, we don’t know whether Attorney Larry Fouche’ was working for Mr. Haywood, or the district attorney, or Judge Simms. What we do know, he only spoke five sentences or less, which were scarcely perceptible to Mr. Haywood defense. Mr. Larry Fouche’ needs to be investigated by the State Bar of Georgia. Judge Simms must tender his resignation as a judicial official in the State of Georgia. District Attorney Cooke must apologize to the citizens of Macon, Georgia, and then relinquish his position as District Attorney, where he has caused great pain and sleepless nights to this community. He has brought a great shame to this district attorney office. We are not going away! We will not kick the can down the road! This is not a sugar high! This will not flame out! This is a watershed moment! We are seeking justice! Dr. M.L. King Jr. writes, “Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.” The Prophet Amos states, “But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream” (Amos 5:24). Successful movements always start with one person!

SB0235 would allow state's attorneys to introduce evidence and testimony in a criminal trial regarding a defendant's history of sexual violence. This change to Maryland law would allow state's attorneys to be more effective in prosecuting serial sexual predators.

Kristian Kim is a third-year undergraduate at UC Berkeley and member of the campus’ Student Labor Committee. She is currently being singled out, and threatened with suspension for organizing in solidarity with campus workers, who for the past seven months have fought to be insourced by the University where they have collectively worked for over 400 years. This petition is written to support Kim by demanding Dean Joseph Greenwell to drop the charges against her! The campaign to insource UC workers came about out of a recognition that outsourced workers were paid half as much as their UC-employed counterparts, and were denied access to health and retirement benefits, sick days, holidays, and recourse in the frequent case of abuse. After months of hard work, this campaign has proven successful in arguably the biggest victory against privatization at the University of California in years. Over the last seven months, students and workers united in multiple forms of direct action and civil disobedience to disrupt the complacency with which administration consistently treated workers' concerns. These actions included marches, rallies, sit-ins, and the largest student occupation of California Hall since the 1970s. Due to her organizational leadership in the #Justice4UCWorkers campaign, Kim has been targeted by the university. The following is an unofficial list of charges Kim has received from the Office of Student Conduct for her leadership since August 2015: 102.06 Unauthorized Conduct (3 counts) 102.13 Obstruction of University Activities (3 counts) 102.14 Disorderly Conduct (1 count) 102.16 Failure to Comply (3 counts) Violation of the Disciplinary Probation that resulted from the above Kim is currently being threatened with a 100-foot ban from certain areas of campus and suspension for a period ranging from one semester to three years - to be determined by the Office of Student Conduct and by the Dean of Student Affairs, Joseph Greenwell. Administrative efforts to punish student organizers are a direct assault upon the ability of students to hold these administrators accountable for their administrative actions. Against all of the public values it so profitably claims to represent, "the number one public university in the world" is unabashedly attempting to crush dissenting voices. If UC Berkeley successfully establishes the precedent for withholding access to higher education on grounds of disrupting the status quo, it will eviscerate the capacity of students at public universities across the United States to intervene upon the injustices that their administrators unilaterally impose. It will also have undermined one of the core values that public higher education exists to uphold: that of the production of critical thought and its expression through transformative action. Kim’s case will play a defining role in setting the terms for future interactions between administrators and students not just at UC Berkeley, but at public institutions of higher education across the United States. Sign this petition and urge Dean Joseph Greenwell to drop the charges against her!

I am starting this petition because we are asking for a second chance for Cristian Rebollar Hernandez to be free from jail . He and we are aware that he made bad decisions. I, Paola Rebollar, sister of Christian, have been affected as well as many other members of our family, including our mother, father, brothers and other love

I personally have been going through hell while trying to keep my seven year old safe after she was sexually assaulted by a stranger/neighbor on an outside balcony of our apartment complex. The accused man seems to have more rights then my child does. I believe all accused should be placed on an ankle monitor during an investigation, not only for their safety, but for the child's safety. This is beyond disgusting, and buying a gun shouldn't be a parent's only option to feel safe.

The Death Penalty is evil, inflicting its torture on the loved ones of the condemned; innocents, who face the unknown, year after year, along with the condemned person, who may well be innocent and/or undeserving of state sanctioned murder! End the torture. Abolish the Death Penalty NOW!

After receiving the death investigation, autopsy, and toxicology reports we still are unable to make any sense of this tragedy. Police will not return our calls, and no arrest have been made, even with two confessions. Barry leaves behind two small children and grieving family and friends who want answers. We want his case reopened, and an arrest to be made for the people who admitted to: 1. Sharing drugs with Barry. (claims heroin but there is zero heroin in Barry's system only fentanyl.) 2. washing and changing the clothes of a dead man. 3. loading a dead body into a moving truck, driving it down the road and abandoning it. 4. dumping Barry's cell phone into a random gas station trash can.

We seek to correct a well-documented injustice that has imprisoned Peltier for decades because of an act of self-defense. This petition seeks to promote healing between our society and Native Americans. This pardon would free an old but proud man and enrich the legacy of the departing President.

It is the right thing to do, it is necessary to do; we must end the destroying of hundreds of thousands of young lives by criminalizing them for a harmless natural substance wrongly criminalized to enhance profits over people.
