Just one year after enforcing the controversial government ID requirement for voting, the state of Alabama made it even harder to vote by closing 31 driver license offices throughout the state. But the closures did not impact all Alabamans equally- the 8 counties with the highest Black voter registration now have no driver license bureaus as all, as do other predominantly rural and low-income counties. The closures led to national outcry about the history of Black voter suppression in the state and the threat to the democratic process for rural communities. The Southeast Conference (SEC) is one of the most respected collegiate sports conferences in the country, boasting a membership of 14 public universities, including Auburn and the University of Alabama. With headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama, this beloved institution can be so much more than a bystander to injustice in it's own backyard. By lending it's considerable voice to this important issue, not only can the SEC model good corporate citizenship, but will also lend important moral support to an important segment of fans and send a positive message to the disproportionate number of Black student athletes among its membership.

To raise cultural, economic and political consciousness to Oakland CA.

I am starting this position because the people of Detroit are being robbed of their constitutional rights as the state takes them over.

Currently, 19 states have passed laws or enacted policy to provide a fair chance at employment for formerly incarcerated job seekers. The President has said he wants to implement federal-level reform in the criminal justice system during his last days in office. Hearing from you can help move him to action.

Bill Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women. He has admitted under oath to obtaining drugs with the purpose of having sex with women. Our intention is not to deface the mural, but to show that women are respected in our nation's capital by replacing it with one that celebrates women and their accomplishments.

The petition was created so that people with account disputes see it and unban our comrade. We also have lost a wonderful member of the operations.

Since its inception in 2008, Wisconsin's non-partisan Government Accountability Board (GAB) has done the job it was designed to do: maintain both the integrity of our state government and our elections. Yet, despite this overwhelming support, Wisconsin legislative majority leaders intend to "overhaul the GAB" in ways that include installing partisan appointees, and removing independent funding for investigations into political corruption.
