New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the US, more densely populated than China. Already millions of riders use NJ Transit to reach their jobs, events and for mobility without clogging our highways even during months of snow. Green public transit reduces congestion, pollution, and costs for all taxpayers. For example, NJ spent $135 Million for snow removal on roads in 2013-2014 versus virtually zero for Rail, while also allowing people to travel safely despite the frequent snowstorms. We need fare cuts and service restored to 2008 levels not more fare hikes and service cuts.

We must put an end to ALEC writing Wisconsin's legislation and stop their war on science.

The fight for $15 began two years ago, when fast-food workers in New York City went on strike for fair pay. Today, it's an international movement of tens of thousands. We fight for a simple reason: we can't feed our families and pay our rent on minimum wage – we deserve $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation. We'll deliver every signature on this petition directly to McDonald's at their shareholder meeting in late May. Help us reach 1 million signatures by signing right now.

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.

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.
