On April 17th the Houston County Sheriff pulled over a long-time civil rights leader in Georgia, Eleazar Muñoz Hernandez, supposedly for running a red light. He arrested Eleazar for driving without a license and transferred him to Trump's deportation agents who now have him detained in Stewart detention center. Eleazar has been living in the United States since 2002. He has been living with his wife and son in Warner Robbins for the last 12 years. Since 2010, he has been a leader in the Warner Robbins comité popular, educating neighbors about their rights and mobilizing for immigrant rights events. We are asking Secretary Kelly for his immediate release so that he can be reunited with his wife and son and return to his volunteer work as a leader in his community. Eleazar should not be punished for not having a driver's license that the State of Georgia will not give him; he needs to work in order to provide for his family and driving is very necessary in Georgia, especially in rural parts. Driving while undocumented should not be criminalized. Please sign this petition so that Eleazar can be released and reunited with his 16-year-old son and wife.

The elected Republican U.S. Representatives that voted for this loss of healthcare to so many Americans need to know that they will be voted out of office. People in every state and every district will lose their health insurance because of the repeal of the ACA. The elected Reps who voted "yes" to repeal and replace Obamacare will find out just how many when THEY are repealed and replaced.

Approximately 173,000 to 175,000 individuals would lose their subsidized housing if this bill passes into law. Those effected would include, but not be limited to: 1. Elderly poverty level citizens; 2. Persons, of various ages, who have a physical handicap; 3. Persons, of various ages, who are infirm; 4. Persons, of various ages, who have severe, debilitating illnesses; 5. Retirees 6. Veterans 7. Children Just to name a few. If this bill passes into law, there will no doubt be other states of the union who will follow suit. Help us stop this miscreant legislation from becoming law.

Yemen is on the brink of famine, with millions of people at risk of starvation, because of Saudi Arabia's war and blockade that has been backed by the United States. Now the Trump Administration wants to send Saudi Arabia even more weapons, which would be perceived as a U.S. seal of approval on the continuation of Saudi Arabia's catastrophic war. [1] Senators Murphy, Paul, Durbin, and Franken have introduced SJRes40 [2], co-sponsored by Sens. Tammy Baldwin and Jeff Merkley [3], which would restrict arms deals with Saudi Arabia on human rights grounds. Last year, Senator Heinrich co-sponsored a similar bill with Senator Murphy, [4] and voted with Senator Murphy and Senator Durbin against sending more weapons to Saudi Arabia. [5] Urge Senator Heinrich to co-sponsor SJRes40 by signing our petition.

DPR rules state that a team must be made up of 7 men and 3 women, with no flexibility to increase the number of female players allowed in play at a time. My team was in a situation where we had six men and 4 women present and ready to play and the umpire made us bench a woman and ask a man watching in the stands to play in her place. I do not fault the umpire in this situation, as he was enforcing the set rules of this league, but I do fault the league for imposing discriminatory practices against female players. In co-ed sports teams, many times you have to have minimum ratios in place to ensure a fair game. The minimum ratios, however, are usually in place to ensure female players equal opportunity to participate. By imposing mandatory maximums for both male and female players--and one that is so un-even with women making up just 30% of a team--DPR is creating a culture of inequality and discrimination against women. In a response to my request to switch from a maximum number of female players to a minimum gender ratio rule, DPR doubled down saying that this discriminatory rule was necessary for a "competitive" league. Is DPR implying that women cannot be competitive in co-ed sports? Tell them girls are good at sports too.
