WE HAVE 14 DAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, because, over the next 14 days, Mayor Bill de Blasio will be considering important reforms to school discipline and policies and policing practices in NYC Public Schools. The stories are incredible: * A Queens first grader with learning disabilities was handcuffed by police and suspended from school when he became upset while painting an Easter egg in class. *Alexa Gonzalez, a 12-year-old Queens girl, was suspended from school and hauled off in handcuffs for doodling her name on her desk in erasable marker. The facts are outrageous: *Black students are 4 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers. Black girls are 10 times more likely than white girls to receive discipline referrals. These racial disparities are a result of systemic implicit and explicit biases in policies and practices. * Students with disabilities are four times more likely to be suspended than students without disabilities. Black students with disabilities represent more than 50 percent of suspended students with disabilities. Black students also served longer suspensions on average and were more likely to be suspended for subjective misconduct like insubordination. New York City schools imposed nearly 70,000 suspensions in the 2011-2012 school year and a task force examined disciplinary practices in the New York City’s 1.1 million-student system during the 2011-2012 school year. It found that “the overwhelming majority of school-related suspensions, summonses and arrests are for minor misbehavior, behavior that occurs on a daily basis in most schools.” This excessive use of suspension for minor offenses pushes students out of school and directly on the path towards prison. Urge the Mayor to adopt changes that will dismantle the school to prison pipeline now!

The people of Arizona have spoken. Public hearings have fleshed out stories of voter suppression in the form of long lines that people stood in only to leave or never make it to the polling booth, a shut out of "Independent" voters who make up 1/3 of the voting population in Arizona, a willful refusal on the part of The State of Arizona, in spite of many bills introduced, to hold an open primary, stories of 1 polling place for 100,000 students, cost cutting measures on the part of The State of Arizona in the form of an almost 75% reduction of polling places in Maricopa county as compared to the 2012 election, and questionable calling of the winner of the Democratic Party Primary--reports that Hillary Clinton won the primary with 1% of the vote counted and 10's of 1000's of people still in line who hadn't voted yet. Worst of all, the provisional ballots were not counted, and worse yet, The State of Arizona has no intention of counting them. This is not democracy and this will not stand. We The People have spoken and we DEMAND a re-vote at cost to the State of Arizona, or in the alternative, that the delegates, including the super delegates from Arizona, DO NOT get to participate in the democratic convention in July 2016.

Imagine you are in a moment of crisis. You decide you need support and seek out a mental health care professional. But instead of offering help, the professional care provider tells you that your lifestyle is a violation of his or her strongly held religious beliefs and that you should seek help elsewhere. Sadly, this nightmare scenario is exactly what could happen if Tennessee state representatives passed Hate Bill 1840. The bill, which passed the Tennessee state senate in February, seeks to allow counselors and other mental health care providers to deny services to individuals based on the personally-held religious beliefs of the care provider. Following in the footsteps of Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana and other states, bill sponsor Rep. Dan Howell (R-Georgetown) is advocating for this bill under the banner of “religious liberty.” In reality, though, Hate Bill 1840 places the religious views of individual counselors above the ethical obligations of counselors – as set out by the American Counseling Association, and above the needs of patients. If passed into law, Hate Bill 1840 would allow a therapist or counselor to deny service to individuals without being liable for a discrimination lawsuit. Don’t let Tennessee sanction discrimination and make it more difficult for people who are struggling to get the help that they need. Sign the petition to tell Speaker Harwell and the State Legislature to oppose Hate Bill 1840 and make sure Tennessee serves ALL those in need of mental health care!

The Obama administration is weighing whether to sell dozens of advanced U.S. fighter jets to Qatar, a country that has been publicly rebuked by the U.S. Treasury Department for failing to take decisive action against Qataris who are providing funds to anti-American terrorist groups, including the al Qaeda-backed al-Nusra Front in Syria. Delaware Democratic Senator Chris Coons says the deal should not go forward until Qatar shows concrete evidence of a change in behavior. “The Qataris have shown a tolerance for extremism among the groups they have supported within Syria that has caused some real friction with our other regional allies and with the United States,” Sen. Coons said. [1] Urge President Obama and Congress to hold up the deal until Qatar makes concrete progress on cutting off money from Qatar for Al Qaeda in Syria.

The voting machines in my county, which were bought after the 2000 Presidential election, have no way to determine if the total votes recorded by the machine are accurate. The only way to "recount" votes is to download the totals from each voting machine again. Several candidates who suspected inaccuracies had no way to determine if the votes recorded by the machines were accurate.

Kristian Kim is a third-year undergraduate at UC Berkeley and member of the campus’ Student Labor Committee. She is currently being singled out, and threatened with suspension for organizing in solidarity with campus workers, who for the past seven months have fought to be insourced by the University where they have collectively worked for over 400 years. This petition is written to support Kim by demanding Dean Joseph Greenwell to drop the charges against her! The campaign to insource UC workers came about out of a recognition that outsourced workers were paid half as much as their UC-employed counterparts, and were denied access to health and retirement benefits, sick days, holidays, and recourse in the frequent case of abuse. After months of hard work, this campaign has proven successful in arguably the biggest victory against privatization at the University of California in years. Over the last seven months, students and workers united in multiple forms of direct action and civil disobedience to disrupt the complacency with which administration consistently treated workers' concerns. These actions included marches, rallies, sit-ins, and the largest student occupation of California Hall since the 1970s. Due to her organizational leadership in the #Justice4UCWorkers campaign, Kim has been targeted by the university. The following is an unofficial list of charges Kim has received from the Office of Student Conduct for her leadership since August 2015: 102.06 Unauthorized Conduct (3 counts) 102.13 Obstruction of University Activities (3 counts) 102.14 Disorderly Conduct (1 count) 102.16 Failure to Comply (3 counts) Violation of the Disciplinary Probation that resulted from the above Kim is currently being threatened with a 100-foot ban from certain areas of campus and suspension for a period ranging from one semester to three years - to be determined by the Office of Student Conduct and by the Dean of Student Affairs, Joseph Greenwell. Administrative efforts to punish student organizers are a direct assault upon the ability of students to hold these administrators accountable for their administrative actions. Against all of the public values it so profitably claims to represent, "the number one public university in the world" is unabashedly attempting to crush dissenting voices. If UC Berkeley successfully establishes the precedent for withholding access to higher education on grounds of disrupting the status quo, it will eviscerate the capacity of students at public universities across the United States to intervene upon the injustices that their administrators unilaterally impose. It will also have undermined one of the core values that public higher education exists to uphold: that of the production of critical thought and its expression through transformative action. Kim’s case will play a defining role in setting the terms for future interactions between administrators and students not just at UC Berkeley, but at public institutions of higher education across the United States. Sign this petition and urge Dean Joseph Greenwell to drop the charges against her!

We all deserve to know the truth of the event, which has started an endless war, cost trillions of dollars and killed many thousands of people and appears to have no end.

Right now, in this country, parents are facing a decision between paying for safe drinking water or putting food on the table. In the wake of the Flint lead poisoning disaster, we need to ask ourselves and our elected officials: how can we let this happen? Today, one in five U.S. families are forced to spend more than they can afford on water. Black and Latino communities are often hit hardest by these staggering expenses — and even at these outrageous prices, that water isn't necessarily safe. The Obama Administration has an opportunity to change that, making access to safe, affordable drinking water and adequate sanitation a key part of its Climate Action Plan. A climate action plan without that is simply not comprehensive or just. But they won’t do it unless they hear from us.
