There are already enough bullies in the lunchroom. Now some members of the U.S. House are effectively trying to take our kids’ lunch money -- by putting forward a bill that guts school lunch programs. An ill-advised update to the Child Nutrition Act came out late last month that jeopardizes free and reduced school lunch for millions of children. This legislation is moving quickly, and we need to stop the provisions that could lead to empty stomachs from coast to coast. Taking away kids’ school lunches is being hailed as the fiscally responsible thing to do, even when we know the opposite is true. When students are hungry they can’t learn. Providing lunch to children whose families are struggling with food insecurity is a simple investment to make sure that those children are learning. It’s just common sense. The House Child Nutrition Reauthorization Bill includes sneaky provisions that would gut the school lunch program -- and would roll back years of progress. [1] If passed, more than 7,000 schools would have their school lunch eligibility revoked. And those more than 7,000 schools? They serve more than 3 million kids [2] Rep. Tim Walberg is a member of the critical House Education and Workforce Committee which will be taking a look at this language over the next week or so. It is critical that he hears that we must protect hungry kids, not take away their lunches. [1] http://goo.gl/I85mAI [2] http://goo.gl/YU5Z7I

The Ethics Commission brushed off my complaint against the nine senators who accepted $4,000 plus travel gifts from a lobbying organization that has interests before the state legislature and my complaint against the lobbying organization that made such gifts. Without serious enforcement, the Commission serves no purpose and should be abolished.

It's unfair

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!
