• Unlock Police Body Camera Audio in Washington
    More than 60% of Washington state law enforcement agencies have no camera systems to document police officers’ and sheriff's deputies’ interactions with the public. To make matters worse, the truth is that less than 0.1% of police body camera video files are ever reviewed. There is simply too much data for a human to automatically review. However, this data contains valuable insights that can be used to generate police performance metrics. The technology exists for these files to be scanned and analyzed to make reviews and reports an efficient and effective process. Wearing body cameras alone is not enough to instill trust in law enforcement transparency. The audio data needs to be analyzed through natural language processing that can identify the areas police departments need to improve to build community approval levels.

  • Unlock Police Body Camera Audio in North Carolina
    North Carolina currently prohibits police agencies from releasing video footage captured by dash cameras or officer-worn body cameras, except when ordered by a judge. If the video footage cannot be assessed in the eye of the public, the review and analysis of audio footage would be a deserving compromise.

  • Amy Wickes' Legacy: In the Name of Justice
    The female only pod of the jail is designed to expand programming aimed at reducing rates of recidivism. Amy worked tirelessly to inform the public of the poor conditions at the "God Awful Franklin County Jail". She knew our system needed major reformation to reduce recidivism rates and advocated for the very same solutions being implemented by the courts and built into this new jail. Amy’s message of decency, justice and morality had a lasting impact and deserves a permanent place of recognition. We cannot think of a more appropriate way to do just that, so we hope you will support our efforts by signing this petition, which will be presented to the Franklin County Board of Commissioners for consideration.

  • CNN, time to leave Georgia. No to state legislated voting discrimination.
    A state political party should be sent a very clear message that abusing government power to suppress votes will not be tolerated by businesses because supporting unethical state legislatures economically funds corrupt government and it will not and should not be tolerated. The legislatures and ELECTED representatives should be held responsible for driving businesses out of state. Businesses should only support states economically that support democracy not actively suppress it. Because that is what is truly at stake.

  • End corporate funding of the anti-democracy GOP
    The destruction of our democracy is being enabled and financed by Coca-Cola and many other corporations through contributions to Republican committees, candidates and the PACs that support them. It's not enough to issue belated press statements against voter suppression laws being enacted across the country, corporations must ACT. This is far more effective than choosing to buy Pepsi.

  • Make Hank Aaron's Milwaukee site of 2021 MLB All-Star Game
    Major League Baseball took a principled stand in support of increasing voter participation when it decided to move this year's All-Star game out of Atlanta in response to the GA legislature passing voting restrictions. The best symbolic alternative location would be Milwaukee for three reasons: 1. The MLB All-Star game provides significant economic benefits to the host community. In 2020, Milwaukee lost the anticipated economic benefits of the Democratic National Convention, when the in-person convention was cancelled due to the COVID 19 pandemic. 2. Milwaukee is an important home of the current social justice movement. Milwaukee is a community dealing with a legacy of extreme de facto segregation, and Wisconsin is a state with significant inequities in outcomes for its black citizens. Wisconsin is one of the states most effected by partisan gerrymandering, another practice that seeks to take power away from the voting public. 3. Hank Aaron started and ended his storied career in Milwaukee, playing there 11 seasons before the franchise moved to Atlanta, and playing his last two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball's true Home Run King, was a contemporary of Jackie Robinson's, and faced discrimination with class and determination. Hank Aaron passed away in January 2021, and will be honored at the 2021 All-Star Game.

  • Sign the petition: Tell Congress to protect Amazon delivery drivers!
    Amazon thinks it can get away with anything. Now the tech giant is forcing delivery drivers to either agree to intrusive surveillance in their vans, or lose their jobs.1 New reporting shows Amazon often forces drivers to choose between keeping their jobs and using the bathroom.2 Rather than solve this dilemma, Amazon wants to install artificial intelligence cameras and force drivers to submit biometric data in order to stay employed. Agree to constantly be spied on by your company or get fired: How can that possibly be a legal workplace standard? Congress can’t let Amazon mistreat their workers. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to protect delivery drivers and investigate Amazon labor practices! This isn’t just micro-management, it’s a dangerous pattern for Amazon. Amazon uses their vast tech resources to spy on workers and push their productivity to the physical brink, all in the name of profit. In Amazon warehouses, algorithms like Rate and ToT (time off task) have contributed to so many workplace accidents and injuries that working at Amazon is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the US.3 But whenever workers stand up for themselves against Amazon, the tech giant fires back with fury. Amazon hired a Koch-backed anti-union consultant to try to stop workers in Alabama from organizing a union.4 They force employees into “classes” where pro-union workers are intimidated and threatened with pay cuts if they continue to form a union. Amazon thinks that just because they’re rich and large that means they’re in charge, and that they can treat their employees however they want. They think no one is strong enough to stop them. But they’re wrong. Congress can regulate how Amazon operates and treats their workers. They could do it now, if you speak up.
