  • Ronald Ritchie Should Go to Jail
    The police have been found justified for their actions in the shooting death after only a few days of deliberation from the Grand Jury, but despite that conclusion they were falsely called to a situation that warranted no police involvement. They reacted without speaking with the perpetrator or even other witnesses to the alleged crime. If there had been a real threat, you would think other people in the store would have stopped shopping or called the police if they were in fear for their lives . Ronald Ritchie, as well as the police officers should be held accountable for their actions. Ronald Ritchie sparked a frenzy by calling the police and giving false information in a non-threatening situation. He was also still in the store. The video that has been published in the media has made this case clear and concrete, yet no one is being held accountable for a life lost unjustly. Filing a false police report is a serious crime that no one should get away with.

  • Free Charles Erickson and Reverse His Wrongful Convictions
    Charles Erickson was wrongfully convicted and is an innocent man. He lost his twenties while incarcerated in Missouri maximum security prisons. His co-defendant Ryan Ferguson's convictions have been reversed and he has been released. Charles is 30 years of age now and should also be exonerated and released. Then, law enforcement officials must reopen and re-investigate the murder case in which Charles was wrongfully convicted so that the real killer(s) can be brought to justice.

  • Demand a full apology for and retraction of inflammatory remarks made by Mr. Yusuf Shabazz
    Our community deserves and demands full accountability from our elected representatives. Mr. Shabazz's comments were unethical and inflammatory and could lead to the direct harm of a law-abiding citizen. His remarks also send the wrong message to our youth and do nothing to assuage the community's pain over the shooting.

  • Cleveland Renaissance Movement: Police to wear Body Cameras
    The shooting deaths of unarmed Mike Brown, Timothy Russell, Malissa Williams and John Crawford are examples of the inequities that are happening across the country and here in the State of Ohio. This petition is essential because unarmed people of color have been gunned down at the hands of law enforcement without recourse. The Cleveland Renaissance Movement was conceived by local poet and community activist Basheer Jones in reaction to the shooting of Mike Brown, in addition to the police chase and shooting deaths of unarmed Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell. The Cleveland Renaissance Movement (CRM) seeks to ensure and enforce the protection of human rights for all people of color.

  • Incarcerated
    We are starting this petition because we wait for an appeal which we have not heard from the lawyer as of yet. In the meantime he has been transferred 5 times, it not allowed to make phone calls. His mother has become sick and only remembers what happened to her son and only talks about the situation. He should be innocent until proven guilty. He needs to be heard on the stand and defend himself. How can our country allow people to be sent to jail innocently!!!!

  • San Francisco: Process Your Unprocessed Rape Kits AND Earmark Yearly Funding for the Crime of Rape
    I was drugged and raped in 2010, and called and waited and called and waited for my rape kit to be tested for 2.5 years. I was told my rape kit would be processed within 14 days. This is unacceptable. SFPD needs to process all of their thousands of backlogged rape kits. It is a hazard to public safety as these criminals continue to freely roam our city streets, potential raping other victims. Furthermore, I was very disrespected and degraded by the SFPD in how they treated me from the moment of my rape up until now.
