Because we love America and our democratic way of life, election day should be revered and recognized as our most important national holiday.

Because at least 687 residents in Tucker County reported having disabilities that would make it difficult or impossible for them to safely access their post office and these readily removable physical barriers discriminate against the elderly and persons with disabilities and would be inexpensive to fix.

This Stops Today Harrisburg, a local social justice group, aims to address institutional and personal racial bias through police accountability and community engagement. We are starting this petition to help our city avoid the tragedies we’ve seen in Ferguson, New York, and nationwide and to build a strong, community-centered model of policing that dissolves racial tensions.

With the legislative session drawing to a close soon, there isn't much time left for the governor to move forward the expansion plan with the legislature. If they fail to reach an agreement, thousands of Alaskans will suffer.

Workers in the United States and around the world unite to renew the 1951 petition "We Charge Genocide" submitted to the General Assembly of the United Nations by the Civil Rights Congress and others. The 1951 petition "We Charge Genocide" opposed the genocidal violence towards African-Americans in the United States at that time. This renewal opposes the contemporary genocidal violence towards African-Americans in the United States and seeks relief from the United Nations. The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Article II describes two elements of the crime of genocide: 1) the mental element, meaning the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such", and 2) the physical element which includes five acts described in sections a, b, c, d and e. A crime must include both elements to be called "genocide." Article III described five punishable forms of the crime of genocide: genocide; conspiracy, incitement, attempt and complicity. The recent police murders of African-Americans in the USA meet the requirements of the legal definition of genocide. We demand that the genocidal violence against African-Americans in the United States end immediately. The police murders of African-Americans in the United States must cease immediately.

Without water we will all perish. It is time we regrouped and figured out how to best take care of us as a community. Bottled water is a true detriment to the environment in many ways. Let us join hands and try to reduce water consumption and also be proactive in the ways we use water Here is the reason why we need to stop using bottled water https://youtu.be/Se12y9hSOM0 We could turn this to a win win situation where Nestle can HELP the State of California by shipping bottled water to us from another State that is not suffering from a drought - A truly win win situation ...

SB 1390 would provide one case manager for every 14 people in the Transition Program, while a parole officer may have a caseload of 80 to 100 people. Let's increase public safety and save Arizona money at the same time.

I work as an English as a Second Language Paraprofessional in a Title 1 school. I see the results of this issue every day, not only among the students but also among the non-professional, non-contract workers like me.

The Tyrone School Board wants to subcontract the 38 cafeteria employees who work in the Tyrone Public Schools. It is wrong for the school board to allow an out of town for profit corporation to make a profit off our students! And it is wrong to fire these dedicated employees!

The drought in California will affect the world economy and food sources on a detrimental scale. Alfalfa wastes thousands of acre-feet of water with the majority being exported overseas with minimum benefit to Americans. We need to stop the cultivation of alfalfa and other feed crops that are bound for export so that California and the United States can sustain themselves during drought years.

Radical Republicans in Carson City are pushing multiple bills to silence the voices of teachers, firefighters, nurses and other public service workers who keep our communities safe and strong. A.B. 280 and other bills would take away collective bargaining rights for these everyday heroes, making it harder for them to advocate for smaller class sizes, safer staffing levels at hospitals and better equipment to improve response times for fires. This kind of legislation isn’t necessary and it isn’t something that Nevada’s voters asked for. Similar laws are being promoted all over the country by a well-coordinated network of big corporations and special interest groups. These are the same groups that favor the downsizing, outsourcing and privatization of government services and oppose equal pay for equal work among men and women. Sign the petition to tell our legislators to oppose bill A.B. 280 and any other laws that would silence the voices of firefighters, teachers, nurses and other workers to speak out to keep our communities safe.

The Native American Mixed-Bloods have been denied their rights to self-determination and identity for hundreds of years in the United States. Let's follow our sister-country, Canada, and recognize this Native American Mixed-Blood tribe. The tribe want NO benefits, lands, grants, or monies whatsoever; simply recognition. President Obama signed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, thus, by denying the executive order, the Governor is going not only against the President, but the United Nations.
