• Free Paul Everett, Innocent Man
    My brother, Paul Everett, was forced to confess to a murder he did not commit 14 years ago. We have been fighting for a fair trial for years. He is running out of time to prove his innocence with evidence that was not submitted in his trial. Please take a minute to look at his website http://sites.google.com/site/freepaulcom/

  • Investigate apparent assault by Stockton cops and decriminalize jaywalking
    The criminalization of Black youth is out of control! On the heels of a Texas teen being arrested for bringing a clock to school, Stockton, CA police brutalized 16 year old Emilio Mayfield for jaywalking. The cops were the threat to public safety, not the minor getting off the bus. We demand the cops be charged with assaulting a minor, that Restorative Justice methods are used to resolve non-violent victimless “crimes,” and—we can’t believe we have to say this—the decriminalization of jaywalking.

  • Reform Measure 11
    I am starting this petition because my family has been negativly effected by measure 11. My children will not have there father in their lives for the next 6 years. We are having a difficult time coping without him and it will be even harder to cope after all the time we lose. Our case had special circumstances, one of those being self defense which I witnessed with my own eyes. Now he will be locked up for six years for protecting himself physically and his family's well-being. His being taken away from us for just acting out of fear is unjustified, maybe time is owed but not six years. Something needs to be done about the strict laws in Oregon. A man should have the right to protect himself and his family. Unfortunately, in court, our story was downplayed and not taken seriously. Any support is greatly appreciated we need to give our judges back their power and defendants' right to a fair trial.

  • Pope Francis: Meet with victims of police violence
    The highest incarceration rate in the world and police violence against Black communities are some of the most pressing issues facing American society today. During Pope Francis's 2015 US tour, we urge him to meet with the victims of criminalization and police violence in the Black community, as organized by the US Human Rights Network and other organizations to hear their stories and amplify their voices. We implore Pope Francis to lend his moral authority to this critical issue by speaking out against police violence in low-income Black communities across the US.

  • Pardon for Victoria A Chapman
    Victoria A Chapman's child was beaten by a babysitter. The babysitter was not charged, but Victoria was charged with child endangerment. Then the courts had her take a plea without representation, which is illegal for the courts to do in the state of Ohio. THEN her doctor's visits required her to reschedule probation appointments, the P.O. accepted these reschedulings, but then later stated these were missed appointments with him, to the courts. Victoria is in jail and her kids have been stolen from her by FCCS for a crime she didn't commit while the criminal isn't charged. She is therefore being held illegally. Share this with everyone you know. Let's free the innocent!!!
