  • NORFOLK SOUTHERN CEO JAMES SQUIRES: STOP THE COAL DUST
    I, along with thousands of other residents, live less than 3 miles from Norfolk Southern’s Lamberts Point Coal Pier, the largest in North America. That facility annually emits over 90,000 lbs of fugitive coal dust from its terminal operations and 200,000 coal cars. It rains down on the people and property in the surrounding neighborhoods and miles beyond. Along with the nuisance factor of frequent cleanings, remember coal dust contains arsenic, mercury, lead and other heavy metals. It has been linked to asthma attacks, neuro-developmental delays in children, bronchitis, lung cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, heart disease and premature death. Taking the reasonable measures of covering the dumpers (recommended by its own consultant in 1973), the conveyors and chute loading operations and the coal cars would significantly reduce the volume of coal dust released into the air, the soil, the river water and inhaled into people's lungs. Over the past 50 years, the estimated cumulative amount of coal dust released comes to 2 million lbs. Taking the requested mitigation measures would serve to help protect public and environmental health at a onetime estimated cost to the company of 1% of its $11.6 billion in annual revenue. If NS could afford to pay its CEO $13.5 million in 2014 ($6,500/hour or $260,000/week), it can easily take measures to STOP THE COAL DUST.

  • Demand that prostitution be outlawed in Israel today
    Prostitution is a form of modern-day slavery. Every day over 15,000 women, men and children in Israel are exploited for sexual services against their will. They are victims of trafficking, fraud, debt manipulation, drug addiction, extreme emotion and physical violence, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The average prostitute receives between 15 to 20 clients per day, creating approximately 1,000,000 sex transactions per month in Israel. No healthy, sane human being decides to work in prostitution out of free choice.

  • Call a Special Assembly in South Carolina to vote on removing the Confederate Flag
    This petition is meant to move the South Carolina legislature to action immediately. They state that they will not be in session to address this for seven months. We need to remove the flying of the Confederate flag from being flown on government property in South Carolina NOW, not in seven months.

  • Concerns regarding diverting a watercourse
    The application of 31 Paddington LLC for a permit to divert a watercourse, pursuant to Chapter 302 of the Village Code, by covering a portion of South Fox Meadow Brook which flows through this property located in a flood plain at 31 Paddington Road, identified on the Village tax map as Sec. 4, Blk. 3, Lot 923, poses numerous risks to the residents of the neighborhood.

  • Remove the Flag
    Symbols of hate and racism on state and federal properties (other than in a historic context, such as a museum) give legitimacy to that hate and racism, as seen in Charleston, SC, recently. Neither the states, nor the federal government should be festering that hate by the display of any of these symbols.

  • Black and Latino Lives Matter
    My family had been effected by this issue. They had prosecuted my husband last year for a crime he did not commit it was dismissed in court. Now they are re prosecuting him for the same exact case that was dismissed. However all records disappear of him been in court twice last year. Then they arrested me on something they said somebody said I did they say I hit someone with a rock. I was not even in the area at the time. They have no physical evidence such as pictures hospital records the rock nothing just a statement. They aressted me in front of my 3 year old son. While I was going to court to testify against the man who stabbed my husband. After doing research this is a common problem in Antelope Valley. They are been investigated by the ACLU the NAACP but its not enough because it's still happening to people everyday. They need to be STOPED. They need to be forced to conduct legal and full accurate investigations and prosecution. They need someone to look into all of their judges and district attorney convictions and look for errors. The police department need to be watched they plant evidence and cohearse witnesses to lie. A full investigation need to be done on the court and both police departments.

  • Rent Control in Seattle
    So many people, working class people, are being driven out of Seattle because of intolerable rents. Those people need us to join them in solidarity. I have been in the position in my life where I had to leave a city because of rent greed. I don't ever want anyone else to ever have to leave her home because she cannot face another rent hike even though she is working hard. Do you support the working poor? If your answer is YES, sign and share.
