• Supporters of Going Green West Coast, Toledo Oregon
    Going Green West Coast is a valued part of our community. They have provided medical marijuana patients and recreational users with educational materials and their personal knowledge. Their growing know-how has helped many locals like myself, keep their personal plants safe and legal. Any legal actions against Going Green West Coast should be stopped immediately. We, the caring voters and residents of the City of Toledo and surrounding communities within Lincoln County, do not feel that they are a nuisance, but rather, a very important contributor to the health, safety, and happiness of all marijuana users in our area.

  • Gun Violence Control
    There has been too much bloodshed so that it is time to make a change. I myself have lost a family member to gun violence. Innocent people have lost their lives because of this.

  • FIX VA NOW! -----OUR VETERANS DESERVE BETTER.
    No one will fix VA, unless the people demand it. Congress and the AFGE union at VA are ignoring military veterans, and feeding off of the profits of our suffering. VA is still denying that Agent Orange used in the Vietnam war was harmful to veterans and our descendants. This bodes ill for our new generations of warriors, exposed to toxic agents during their own more recent nservice. .

  • Add your name: We are the movement for Black lives
    Guided by love, we continue to stand together for justice, human dignity and our shared goal of ending all forms of state violence against Black people. We organize, occupy, demonstrate, march and chant for a new future: A future we can be proud of. We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, who fought for their freedom and ours. Like them, we want a world where our lives matter. We want an end to the war being waged on Black people, in all its forms. Some people fear change, and that's ok. Many will attempt to halt our progress. That is not ok. Some will continue their attempts to undermine us, but we will remain undeterred. For far too long, our unjust deaths have meant business as usual in this country. No more. We pledge not to be controlled by fear, but instead by our dreams. Join us, and pledge to do the same: Stand with the Movement for Black Lives.

  • Tell Congress and Pres. Obama: Defund police that continue to kill Black people
    Four Black deaths in a matter of days, we're in--and have been in--a state of emergency. Within a week, our nation has bore witness to the brutal police induced murders of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Delrawn Smalls, and Alva Braziel. Instead of indicting the officers that killed these Black men and reforming the departments that enable them, the federal government continues to pouring millions of dollars into the police departments that employ them. We can't afford to spend millions of dollars on police departments that will continue killing Black people. Join us in calling on President Obama and Congress to take executive action to pull all grant funds from any police department that doesn't make reforms to protect Black lives.

  • CBS, MSNBC: Stop giving a platform to Rudy Giuliani's racism
    Over the past few days, Rudy Giuliani has gone on CBS and MSNBC to make racist and derogatory remarks such as “When you say black lives matter, that’s inherently racist.” [1] He also gave false statistics and confused police brutality cases by saying a police officer is serving 25 years for “brutally attacking” Amadou Diallo. None of the four police officers who shot and ultimately killed Amadou Diallo in 1999 served any prison time. [2] Someone who gives false information and furthers racism should not be given a platform on mainstream media. There are plenty of people who can speak to matters of police brutality and relations between minority communities and police. Experts such as Michelle Alexander and Black Lives Matter leadership should be called on and given a platform. By continuing to give a platform to Giuliani, you are giving credibility to his outright distortions and divisiveness and doing a disservice to your viewers and your reputation. Sources: 1.

  • Racism Does Not Belong On Television: Tell CNN To Fire Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes
    In a shameless move to increase their ratings, CNN is providing Donald Trump supporters Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes with paid positions and a national platform to promote Donald Trump’s hatred and racism. Even worse, CNN is hiring Lewandowski and Nell Hughes in order to cater specifically to Donald Trump supporters - since their regular Republican contributors oppose Donald Trump’s candidacy. By hiring Corey Lewandowski as a regular commentator, CNN is effectively validating the opinions of someone who repeatedly denied press access to journalists covering Donald Trump’s campaign, was charged with a misdemeanor after forcibly grabbing reporter who was attempting to ask Donald Trump a question, and who helped normalize Donald Trump’s dangerous and toxic rhetoric. By hiring Scottie Nell Hughes, CNN is demonstrating that it is willing to promote the opinions of an individual who has defended Donald Trump’s use of anti-Semitic imagery on Twitter and has promoted riots at the Republican National Convention. If we want to stop Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric from spreading, then we keep biased political commentators like Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes from appearing on networks like CNN. We demand that CNN terminates Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes’ contracts and removes them from the network immediately!

  • Stop the Islandia Casino Now (exit 58, where the Marriott is located)
    *Updates noted at bottom. WE REJECT that, after OTB admitted major losses ($30 million), Albany’s answer was the Casino, placed in the midst of an established residential, school and business area. WE REJECT the huge FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BURDENS that will befall our suburban and semi-rural communities: dramatically increased traffic, property taxes, theft crimes, fire/ rescue calls, and property depreciation. WE REJECT the proposed Las Vegas-style neon signs and billboards advertising the casino along our suburban highways. WE REJECT the political deception because a vote against the casino referendum was still a vote for the video lottery terminals (VLTs). WE REJECT the Board of Trustees in Islandia voting for this project. The majority of community came out to the town meeting voicing opposition to this project in our neighborhood. Residents of Islandia and surrounding Islip, Hauppauge and Smithtown are saying NO. Petitions by hundreds of residents were submitted. No Casino! THEREFORE, we call upon you to immediately rescind the authorization for 1,000 video lottery terminals in each county to be operated by Nassau and Suffolk County Off Track Betting (OTB) corporations. We ask the Senators and Assemblymen to co- sponsor and pass Assemblyman Fitzpatrick's Bill A.5187 to repeal Video Lottery Gaming on Long Island. Update: Islandia officials cancelled a meeting Tuesday July 12th at where they were to vote on this controversial Suffolk OTB plan to open a mini casino in the village. The Board has not stated on their site new date. Unite, spread the word, starting with Islandia and the neighborhoods in the 10 mile radius of this project. Because this is a TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE - Sign the petition - REACH OUT to a friend, relative or neighbor in Islandia - Then share with Suffolk County connections and everyone you know! - Visit Facebook page: A CALL TO ACTION, ISLANDIA. NO CASINO. like page, set to be notified Also email: Allan M. Dorman, Mayor // [email protected] Diane F. Olk, Deputy Mayor // [email protected] Barbara Lacey, Trustee // [email protected] Patricia Peters, Trustee // [email protected] Michael Zaleski, Trustee // [email protected] call Islandia Village 631.348.1133
