Unarmed 19-year-old Detroit-area resident Renisha McBride was fatally shot while she went looking for help after surviving a car crash. The man who shot Renisha has yet to be arrested, charged, or publicly identified. And he may never be held accountable because of Michigan's deadly so-called "Stand Your Ground" or "Shoot First" law. More than a week after Renisha's death the shooter has not been arrested and he may not face proper prosecution because of Michigan's so-called "Stand Your Ground" or "Shoot First" law. The law could shield Renisha's shooter from criminal prosecution if he believes that he was in danger, even if his belief is wrong and rooted in racial bias. We cannot let another Black teenager's death go unpunished. Please join us in demanding Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy and Dearborn Heights Police Chief Lee Gavin conduct a full investigation and bring the shooter to justice.

Our board is for us, not the janitors.

Too few people seem to take seriously the threat to one of the fundamental pillars of our democracy, an informed electorate. Manipulation of the truth for selfish, political purposes by the corporate media charged with reporting truth is not acceptable and there should be public consequences for the misuse of the forum CBS and the other powerful corporate interests who purport to report the news have been granted by us, the people.

Adding recycling bins for paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass around campus. At this college, there is a lot of paper handed out, and when we are done with it, where can we put it? Same with tin, plastic, bottles, glass, etc, where can we put them without having to go to the SAK?

I am currently 63 and not eligible for Medicare till 65. My social security is under $650 a month, well below the poverty line. I am not eligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) because my income is below the poverty line. Governor Daugaard of South Dakota refuses to enroll South Dakota in extending Medicaid to some 48,000 eligible enrollees. I am one of those.

Because of the violence and inhuman act against immigrants particularly Ethiopian immigrants in Saudi Arabia.

Current federal legislation says that for-profit colleges cannot receive more than 90 percent of their revenue in federal education dollars. Meaning that these companies have to receive at least 10 percent of their revenue from other, non-federal sources. Yet a current loophole allows these companies to receive Post 9/11 GI Bill and Department of Defense tuition assistance funds without counting them as “federal dollars.” This loophole makes it possible for a for-profit college to receive 100% of its revenue from federal sources. For profit college companies enroll only about 12 percent of all college students, but they account for nearly half of all student loan defaults. The Protecting Our Students and Taxpayers (POST) Act, introduced by U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Tom Harkin (D-IA), will help curtail the impact of these defaults on veterans and active duty servicemen and women by taking away the incentive unscrupulous college companies have to aggressively recruit them. The bill closes the 90/10 loophole by including military education benefits in the definition of federal revenue. Our veterans and active duty service members deserve nothing less.

Many people including myself have been injured by these rail road crossings. They need to be removed!

Because I believe that all children should be protected and loved and that all governments aren't doing enough to stop child abuse

In the cocoa fields of the Ivory Coast, child slavery is ‘normal.’ It’s routine. It’s accepted. Children as young as 7 are sold – deprived of their childhood, ripped from their families, and subjected to routine abuse – to work long, backbreaking days picking cocoa. And it all stems from our love of chocolate. While many chocolate brands have made public commitments to find the best solution, Warner Bros. is lagging behind. As we head into one of the busiest times of the year for Warner Bros. theme parks, children excited to experience the world of Harry Potter will be asking their parents to buy these chocolates. That's why taking a stand right now will make a big impact. Ask Warner Bros. what steps they’re taking to ensure Harry Potter chocolates are slavery-free.

The Fair Food Program has made historic progress in tackling forced labour and exploitation on Florida’s tomato farms. A massive 90% of growers have already joined the Fair Food Program, an initiative with a proven track record in fighting modern slavery. And four of the five biggest U.S. fast food giants have signed the Fair Food Agreement, investing in the fight for a slavery-free agricultural industry. But one company stands in the way of progress: Wendy’s refuses to ensure slavery is not in its supply chain. If Wendy’s follows the lead of McDonald's, Subway, Burger King and Taco Bell, their immense purchasing power could help bring the last 10% of farms to the table and ensure the tomato industry never sees another case of modern slavery. Call on Wendy’s – the final fast food hold-out – to help end slavery forever in Florida’s tomato fields.
