  • Tell Cami Anderson: Stop the One Newark Plan
    Cami Anderson, who was appointed by Gov. Chris Christie to oversee Newark schools, has proposed a top-down school plan called One Newark. A new Rutgers University study shows that Anderson’s One Newark plan has serious flaws. The schools bearing the brunt of the consequences have a greater share of low-income and black and Latino students. The schools that are being kept open are not used more than the schools slated for closure. And the charter operators that would take over the closed neighborhood schools don’t have a record of achieving better outcomes. The plan reduces students to a test score. Imposing this plan on a community that opposes it is doomed to fail. And the suspension of principals for engaging in dialogue with us shows just how out of touch this plan is. Students, teachers, school support staff, parents and community members are joining together to tell Anderson to stop this plan. She was wrong about suspending the principals. She is wrong about One Newark, too. Let’s take back our schools and reclaim the promise of public education in Newark. Add your voice.

  • Get Raul Labrador to Sponsor the Voting Rights Amendment
    Last year, the Supreme Court gutted the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since then, Republicans across the country have raced to implement new restrictive laws that would do exactly what the Voting Rights Act was meant to protect.

Trey Radel to support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”

  • Fix the Voting Rights Act!
    I have witnessed discrimination... while I lived in Akron, Ohio, when the Kent State fiasco occurred during the 60's, while attending school in Appalachian Kentucky during the 70's, while attending Purdue University in Indiana during the 80's, while living in Hawai`i in the 90's... and, yes, while currently living in St. Louis, Missouri. The Supreme Court Justices may think that voting rights abuses are a thing of the past... and I wish that I could be immune from experiencing and witnessing it, too. But, I can't. I don't live in their ivory towers. And, neither do you. I want to see a fairer America. Whether the state legislators thought they'd curtail minority voters with the poll tax (which the VRA directly addressed), or whether those legislators think that photo IDs will do so... our federal government must assure that they are not able to intimidate and deny voting rights to ANY American -- regardless of race, class, or any other variation of American citizen.
