• Justin Bieber Shouldn't Be Deported
    Justin Bieber has been making headlines lately, but facing deportation shouldn't be one of them. His latest arrests should be dealt with like anyone else, with a day in court, not a threat of detention and deportation. We all deserve equality under the law. All of his fans and everyone else, let's get his back.

  • Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    Politicians have used the Supreme Court decision to restrict voting for people who might not vote for them. We want as many people voting as possible, without any obstacles.

  • Stop Voter Suppression
    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. Late last week, Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced new legislation—the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014—that would strengthen the Voting Rights Act. This bill isn't perfect but is the best vehicle we have for restoring the rights struck down by the Supreme Court last year.

  • The Principal Financial Group supports private prisons?
    An awareness of and opposition to private prisons is growing. States and companies previously invested are recognizing the uniquely devastating impacts of private prisons and choosing to disassociate completely. But The Principal Financial Group — a company that leverages its brand as one of the "most ethical companies in the world," committed to the well-being of the employees and communities it serves — continues to support an industry that profits from confining mostly Black and brown people in some of the most dangerous and abusive conditions in the country.

  • Rep. Ruiz: Help partially patch Voting Rights
    The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of VRA. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Congressman Ruiz should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

  • Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    The voting Rights Act is one or the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last years Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it.

  • Voting IS a right!
    The right to vote is the foundation of American democracy. The states impacted by the VRA started to take it away from American citizens the very moment the Supreme Court lifted them. As we continue to see voters' rights being restricted all across America, this much AT LEAST must stop!

  • Voting Rights are Fundamental
    I'm very concerned that our voting rights are being systematically stripped away. We live in a democracy and our vote is our voice. The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever enacted. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill.

  • Court Overturns PA's Voter ID Law. Tell Gov. Corbett Not to Appeal
    The great news is that Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard McGinley said the Pennsylvania Voter ID bill is unconstitutional. He ruled that the law is "invalid and unconstitutional on its face as the provision and issuance of compliant identification does not comport with liberal access and unreasonably burdens the right to vote. “Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the Voter ID Law does not further this goal.” Now the bad news. It is still possible for the law to be appealed. PA Gov. Tom Corbett is considering an appeal to PA's Supreme Court. If he does appeal, the Voter ID law may be reinstated. Tell Governor Corbett that we agree with Judge McGinley. Voter ID is “invalid and unconstitutional on its face.” Do not appeal Voter ID to the Supreme Court.
