The hobbling of the USPS during the Covid19 crisis is an overt effort to suppress mail-in voting. We have to come to grips that the USPS will be unable to handle the time-critical mail volume that the Presidential election will generate, a deliberate effort to compromise our democratic processes. Please request the CEO's of these companies to help protect our democratic society by offering their services to insure mail-in ballots from anyone, anywhere are delivered on time and counted.

We ask you to act now. School is scheduled to start Monday, leaving mere days to prevent harm to our families and community. **KCS Students are able to sign this petition too. It was announced Tuesday August 12th by the state department of education that all neighboring island public schools will transition to full distance learning for a minimum of the first 4 weeks of school in an effort to support safety first for both students, faculties and ‘ohanas. After reviewing Kihei Charter School's reopening plan, the students, families and community are in dismay. We feel that the plan that has been presented to us does not put the safety of our children or community first during this world health pandemic and it does not prepare us for the near future. To understand why Kihei Charter School is able to resist the guidance of the DOE and other authorities, please read on. When it comes to operational decisions including whether to offer virtual, blended or face to face classes at Kihei Charter School, it is important to understand the difference between traditional public schools vs. Hawaii State Charter Schools. Traditional public schools are run by the Hawai'i Department of Education. In contrast, public charter schools in Hawaii are run by Governing Boards, under charter agreements (Charter Contracts) approved by the Hawaii Public State Public Charter School Commission. The Governing Board is different for every charter school. During this pandemic, even with the recommendations of the DOE & our Mayor, the governing board of Kihei Charter School still controls all final decisions on how they will operate throughout this pandemic.

The United States Postal Service has been hijacked by President Trump in an effort to slow down and eliminate voting by mail. This also hurts those that receive medicine through mail, businesses that depend on the USPS to function, as well as every US citizen.

We've told you about the dire situation happening at Primex Farms, a nut company in Wasco CA. The situation is escalating. According to a July 26 CNBC article, 150 of the 400 workers have now tested positive. In addition, a UFW census shows 49 of their adult family members and 34 children have tested positive for COVID-19. Sadly, one Primex worker has since died. A second worker, who tested positive, was removed from life support and sent home for palliative care; she is not expected to survive. Protesting Primex's flawed response to the virus, employees walked out on strike and formed a picket line. Workers were requesting safety measures, including social distancing procedures, company provision of personal protective equipment such as face masks and payment of sick leave for infected or exposed employees. The company promised improvements, but when they did not happen, workers -- including those in quarantine with the virus -- defied the company and held a virtual press conference. Now the major pistachio and almond processing company is retaliating against key groups of outspoken workers. This company uses several staffing agencies to supplement their direct hire workforce. Many of the workers who spoke out worked through USA Staffing. On July 22, Primex told the dozens of workers employed by USA Staffing that they were terminated because “production had dropped” -- but then they brought in new workers the same day! Brisdey Nieto is one of these fired workers. She tells us, “The company's anti-union consultant told us that due to the union taking the actions it had taken the clients had heard and therefore production had dropped. They were firing us. I could not believe that. I saw that same day they hired new workers and that they had started working. If production had dropped; why hire new workers?” The UFW immediately filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board for the company illegally retaliating against the workers for union activities and joining together to improve conditions. Workers don't want to wait; they want their jobs back now and they want to be protected on the jobsite. They're asking you to sign their petition telling the company to rehire them, with appropriate coronavirus protections in place. Workers are hoping to turn in thousands of signatures in the next few weeks. Will you add your signature today?

This is extremely important because thousands of students looking to better their lives and future were mislead. We were overcharged and given false information. This school is no longer open. It started as Southwestern college then changed to Lincoln College if Technology. Teachers were not educated on what to teach and we were charged multiple times for books/scrub uniforms we had to reuse. We were told credits could transfer to other institutes and they do not. At all. The school isn’t even acknowledged by other accredited institutes and you can’t call because it’s no longer open. It’s a bait and switch... they get you in, young and eager and lie about it all. Never received a layout of what we were actually paying for either. I have no idea what my $40,000 paid for! Now thousands of dollars in debt, I can’t afford to go back to school because of this debt I no longer qualify for federal loans! These loans should be forgiven. We were told we would have job placements and I’ve never once had a job placement from this place. “Graduated” in 2011. I am praying to get these loans forgiven considering I now am eligible to receive any loans due to my debt. I would LOVE to return to school and earn a business degree to further my career for me and my daughter. Thank you!

Progressives have been sidelined by the DNC for far too long. The people have spoken and they favor progressive politics. We will not allow our party to be taken over by never Trumpers. We believe in healthcare as a human right, a wealth tax, criminal justice reform, and so does America. We refuse to be pushed aside.

AOC is the highest money raiser in the House Democratic Caucus. She is arguably the most recognizable and popular House member in the nation. The campaign is really going to need to energize young and progressive voters, particularly having put Harris in the Veep slot. This is an avoidable error. Former GOP Gov. Kasich is not going to generate any votes that Biden wouldn't have gotten anyway, but he's allotted 15X the speaking time of AOC. Sixty seconds is a slap in the face to the progressive wing of the party and makes it look like you really don't want their votes.

In this time of a Pandemic we need to be able to vote by mail. I am in a high risk category as are many citizens who depend on the mail for many tasks. Voting should not have to be a decision between health and the right to vote in a timely manner. It is safer for all Americans. Trump is colluding and conspiring with the Postmaster General Louis Dejoy. AG Barr has turned a blind eye to the illegalities of Trump's actions. Dejoy, under the direction of Trump, is actively and with premeditation, preventing voting by mail by cutting hours of postal workers and taking mail sorting equipment away. Dejoy is possibly profiting financially. He has a conflict of interest in his position as owner of XPO logistics. While Dejoy did divest from his Amazon stock, he has an agreement to purchase it back at a better rate after he has completed his mission of destruction. Trump, himself has publicly admitted that he is slowing down the mail because he believes that it will adversely affect the Republicans' chances of winning their political positions. We get our bills, notices, medicines, paychecks, packages and necessary papers in the mail. The goal of these conspirators is to make Americans to make a choice between health and voting. It will make us pay more for the mail and destroy the Federal Service, so that people who live in rural areas will not be served. Along with trying to kill and sicken more Americans by making them stand in lines for hours to vote, they are colluding to profiting from its demise.

Since 2017 we have had to endure a never ending turnover of inconsiderate renters and an owner that is unreachable. Many of us have lived in and called this neighborhood home for over twenty years. As a result of this ‘party house’ we have had to endure years of sleepless nights, littering, rat infestations, loud music day and night, noise pollution, and masses of people coming and going at all hours. For example my neighbor has had his two children woken at two AM on a weeknight due to the noise. When we approach the renters it is futile because a new renter appears the next day. Since November of 2019 when the "Short Term Rental Law" was passed, this Airbnb listing has continued to have new guests checking in regularly and on a frequency that does NOT comply with the law. In response the neighbors have tried talking with the renters, calling the police, emailing LADBS, reaching out to Mayor Garcetti, and contacting AirBnB. Yet nothing has been done. We are fed up that these owners run a strictly for profit event space in clear violation of the law and have yet to face any consequences. We are a neighborhood of hard working families who just want the owner held accountable for the laws they are violating. In previous years our complaints were based on quality of life but with Covid it is now a health crisis. The listing continues to promote a space suitable for 16+ people to stay at even though it is a 3 bedroom home and is breaking the law according to LA Department of Building and Safety. We want you to help us remedy this situation as quickly and decisively as possible. The home has an owner who lives abroad (NOT ON PREMISES) and it is NOT lived in by anyone other than short term renters and party goers. The home/listing is run by a Real Estate/Contractor and Concierge event company owner by the name of Shay Shalom Gozlan ( livingthedream.com and New Horizon Development) . Who apparently owns and runs several other properties in and around this neighbor that do the exact same thing. During this global pandemic crisis there has been a constant stream of new tenants each week. This home is not only a nuisance but is now a health risk. They and others like them need to be dealt with immediately and for good! We have the right to enjoy our homes in peace and quiet and walk our neighborhoods and feel safe.

It’s important that one of the most influential people in modern day politics, especially a Democrat, to speak at the Democratic National Convention. We all need to hear what she has to say. And giving just 60 seconds is not enough. At the very least give her 2 minutes. Obviously we would love for her to have even more time than that since she is such a champion for fair wages, corporate accountability, environmental justice, and so many other important issues.
