Moratorium on AIUSA Strategic Plan[By virtue of signing this letter, we commit ourselves to jointly developing an inclusive, informed, and transparent membership-led process to review and redraw the Strategic Plan in a way that embodies the movement AIUSA can be and wants to be. This involves clear and easily accessible channels for gathering and sharing information, ample venues to provide input by all parties, and a commitment to not making structural changes until there is movement-wide approval. We know that there are many good ideas about the next steps and commit to an inclusive, informed and transparent deliberative process to evaluate the ideas and come together on the way forward.] IMPORTANT - WHEN YOU SIGN PLEASE INDICATE YOUR CONNECTION TO AIUSA IN THE COMMENT SECTION (i.e. supporter, volunteer, local group members, former staff, donor, etc.) AIUSA’s Board of Directors and Executive Director has decided to restructure and eliminate valued staff without first developing an approved Implementation Process and Plan. The Strategic Plan reflects a flawed process which was not in conformity with AIUSA practices of seeking transparent and meaningful staff and membership consultation and therefore we reject it.283 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Paul Paz y Mino, Colombia Country Specialist since 1995

Preserve Homes and Create Good JobsPublic Housing in MN needs a minimum of $400 million in repairs and renovation around the state. Low income seniors, disabled persons, families and refugees are living in subsidized housing in every MN county that was constructed 40-50 years ago and is falling apart. If this is housing is allowed to continue to deteriorate, it will be impossible to afford to replace it at today's cost. Many low-income people would face homelessness as these are homes where they pay rent at 30% of their income, whatever that is, sometimes only social security. Repairing this housing would create about 7,000 new construction jobs and save thousands of on-going public housing mainentance and housing service jobs in Minnesota. Bonding for public housing repair is a critical homelessness prevention, job creating, and statewide infrastructure investment in every MN county that we cannot afford to neglect. Everyone knows a Minnesotan who lives in this housing or would be homeless. Everyone in MN knows a construction worker who needs to go back to work.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rep. Karen Clark

Re-evaluate the purging of biskiits.livejournal.comThis is address to the readers of danica, an online fiction writer, who owned biskiits.livejournal.com A background on danica: She brought to us the wonderful and well crafted Best I Ever Had, Chicharong Flower, The Prince's Homecoming, 7 Days: Menelli's Toughest Mission and numerous other original fictions and fan fictions. The issue: Last June 14, 2012, as I was informed, biskiits.livejournal.com was purged due to inappropriate content as reported by four anonymous reports. danica, as she claimed in her last entry, was given a mere forty-eight hours to back up everything in her community. We, her loyal readers, know that she never once wrote any NC-17 stories, whether involving sexual themes or violent themes. It is proven then that the administrators of livejournal did not make an effort to check and read each entry she submitted for the last seven years as they only relied on the reports without confirming if those were reliable or not. I emailed danica and we are yet to receive her reply. A word I got from her beta-reader, Quinn, confirmed that: 'She will reupload everything she posted before but she's still looking for a good site to host them. She's busy with her school so it's actually least of her priorities.' As a return of gratitude, let us appeal to the administrators of livejournal to re-evaluate their decision. Please follow this format: For the first name: Type in your livejournal account name For the last name: Type livejournal.com Let us make our voices be heard.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Rosley
