Whether or not Bernie can still win the nomination will depend upon how well we can mobilize the grassroots support that We, the People, feel for our urgently needed Second American Revolution. Hillary Clinton has been outspending Sanders by about 30% for paid staff, while Bernie’s campaign has spent far more on media buys, leaving less money to pay people to go door to door and provide free lawn signs for everyone who wants them. To win more than 2/3 of the primary vote in the Western states and pave a path to victory at the Convention, we are calling for the Sanders campaign to divert millions of dollars from media buys here in California starting May 9, to fund paid field organizers, free lawn signs, bumper stickers and grassroots events to allow our campaign to better connect directly with millions of voters. Our campaign needs to field a diverse legion of hundreds or even thousands of paid field organizers, so that those who appear on doorsteps and street corners reflects the demographics that will be voting in the final West Coast primaries. Here in California, we need to help people register and select a party preference before a May 23 registration deadline. We also need to help them check that their registration has not been mysteriously switched or purged, to make sure that the suspicious shenanigans that went on in New York are not repeated in California, the nation’s largest primary race. Bernie 2016 needs to match Clinton’s ground game, which is paying People of Color living wages for door-to-door outreach in Oakland and other cities. At this time, Bernie’s campaign professionals are refusing to hire more than a skeleton crew of canvassers with scarce resources, while reserving nearly all funds raised for big advertising buys from the corporate media. This is not the way we are going to win this. If we rely solely on volunteers for outreach, then only those who can afford to work for free, often meaning, the well-to-do and retirees, are able to assist. This greatly limits the diversity of those who represent Bernie, while we are working within diverse communities, where the Bernie 2016 campaign is already struggling to catch up with Clinton’s lead. As a grassroots community organizer for Bernie Sanders, I, petition organizer David Karabelnikoff (Aleut/ Alaska Native), have campaigned in Nevada, Alaska, and California. Campaign workers and volunteers like me have worked countless hours door knocking, face banking, sign building, tabling, and event and rally planning. Many of our colleagues are worried that the hierarchical Bernie 2016 campaign team is focusing too much on media buys, while starving the grassroots of personnel and materials that will be needed on Primary day. Funding a grassroots effort could also include high profile inner city projects, like the Peoples Vision of the Political Revolution Mural Project being created with Oakland and Bay Area youth to share their vision for the future, while increasing voter turnout. Please share this petition with others who want to help Bernie win big by funding the grassroots to carry our grassroots revolution now!

People don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. This man, whom I believed was a joke, suddenly looks like he will get the nomination. Trump seems to be the only option, and I want them to know that whoever they are, we are all American and need to stand against the worst possible option to run our country.

Poverty and Homelessness are growing issues in our country, and Joy Junction wants to raise awareness (target) of the unacceptability of homelessness and hunger, and encourage people to make a difference by volunteering at their favorite charity etc., or maybe giving out a food card. Even a smile or a hand shake would be great!

Help us show how strong the support for Bernie Sanders is in District 34 and that our representatives need to reflect the will of the people! We are a growing permanent movement of progressive organizers who believe that Bernie is advocating for whats best for america, marginalized communities, working class families and the world! It's time to show our elected officials that we are sick and tired of establishment candidates and if they don't change then we will remember when election time comes!

At 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 5, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a package of right-wing bills to punish teachers and students in Detroit. Gov. Rick Snyder must veto it. Make no mistake: These bills discriminate against Detroit’s children—who are overwhelmingly economically disadvantaged children and children of color—and are designed explicitly to punish teachers who speak up on behalf of their students and themselves. Many of the so-called teacher-related provisions have failed and been rejected when used in other jurisdictions. Under state-controlled emergency management, indifferent politicians abandoned Detroit’s students to learn in under-resourced schools with deplorable conditions. The state created half a billion dollars in debt for the school district, and the House bills, which only affect Detroit and not the rest of Michigan, don’t solve the state-created debt crisis. Instead, this legislation creates a new district with a litany of bad education policies, strips teachers of their rights and voice, and leaves Detroit’s students in an even more vulnerable situation. Under the House proposal, school employees—including teachers, clerical staff and support staff—are stripped of their existing contracts and benefits, and the district will no longer recognize their unions. The bill will punish teachers for going on strike or participating in walkouts over school conditions—even if the school is unsafe for students and staff to be in. The bills would also allow the district to hire noncertified teachers and tie teacher pay to student test scores, even though research clearly shows those types of merit pay systems do not work. This package of bills only applies to Detroit. Why are Michigan House Republicans punishing Detroit for the debt their emergency manager created? Why are they stripping rights and imposing bad education policies in Detroit, but not expecting their home districts to do the same? The answer is simple: They don’t think they’ll have to answer for what they’re doing. Gov. Snyder must veto any version of the House bills that comes to his desk. The children and people of Detroit are counting on him to stop these reckless legislators from hurting them.

I should have the right to control what I do to my body since I am legally an adult in this state, I should not feel nannied by my state.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have introduced [1] legislation that would impose new restrictions on U.S. military support for Saudi Arabia (S.J.R. 32). [2] Companion legislation in the House (H.J.R. 90) [3] has been introduced [4] by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL). The legislation would require the President to certify that Saudi Arabia is cooperating with the U.S. against terrorism and protecting civilians in its war in Yemen before U.S. weapons could be transferred to Saudi Arabia. Urge Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Duluth Representative Rick Nolan to co-sponsor this legislation by signing our petition.

We want the youth voices to be heard in our San Francisco community, noticed, and cared about. There isn't a space for this type of free speech anymore. SFPD has expressed their support for a program like this, as well as dedication to creating change in the community and our lives. Reinstating a youth forum program would be very beneficial to teenagers all over San Francisco, helping to create better relationships between the community and the police force.

You've said you won't endorse Donald Trump, your party's presumptive nominee, for president. But will you vote for the man you won't endorse? It's not enough to stay silent. We've disagreed on things before—some of them big. But this is one we can agree on: At a time when we need to unify our country, Trump is dividing us. We don't want to let that happen, and we don't think you do either. Say you won't vote for Trump.
