The younger and more progressive Democrats are the future of the party. If there is a true desire to grow and build for the future then we need to have the younger voices heard. The Democrats of the past have so much speaking time but why only 60 seconds for one of the most relatable democrats for the younger generation of voters? It's way past due for the DNC to embrace the future. AOC is the future of the party.

This is important because even though open conversations like these can be challenging, ballet studios, schools, and companies should talk about the obstacles that race can provide in the ballet world and how to improve that in their community for the first step. Facilitating conversations around race, equity, diversity, and inclusion can be helpful in educating and getting people involved in the hope for eliminating racism. Racial equity is an ongoing process and conversation. Especially in the arts like ballet, it is indirectly nuanced so that BIPOC dancers are disadvantaged. The best way to change and promote racial equality in your surroundings is to have conversations that advocates for diversity and equality with people around you and use your voice to call attention to these matters.

Due to recent concerns regarding the ability of the USPS to effectively and timely deliver ballots and the health and safety concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are requesting to have drive up locations placed throughout the state of Nevada where citizens can drop off their ballots safely. This alleviates the concern with the USPS delivery times as ballots would go directly to a voting poll location. Contactless delivery would also alleviate concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19.

We want to play. We believe that safety protocols have been established and can be maintained to mitigate concerns of exposure to Covid 19. We believe that we should have the right to make decisions about what is best for our health and our future. Don’t let our hard work and sacrifice be in vain. #LetUsPlay!

There are people at high risk from the covid-19 virus who need to be able to vote by mail near their homes. Removing mail sorting machines before the election might result in ballots that were mailed on time not being forwarded in time to be counted.

Our democracy is hanging by a thread, Louis DeJoy, the 75th Postmaster General of the United States is a member of the Board of Trustees at Elon University. It is clear that he is involved in dismantling the U.S. Post Office and interfering with the political process and the United States Constitution. He, and Elon, need to be held accountable.

The most essential reason this is important is that it sends a signal from MoveOn to the U.S. military community that we are not worth including in their movement or campaigns. This in turn seems to reinforce the notion that the military is a monolith of conservatism, which is not borne out in the data, particularly amongst the younger, diverse, enlisted ranks (see: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-soldiers-really-vote/). Further, there are a large contingent of civilians, including teachers and other education professionals, living and working on military installations who exclusively rely on their APO address and are therefore prohibited from participating and receiving similar treatment as living in the U.S. and teaching at public schools. These teachers physically reside overseas, but retain a U.S. domestic mailing address through their APOs and teach at U.S. public schools. Then there is the matter of the USPS itself. Recently, MoveOn pushed a campaign, including a petition, to save the USPS from its current difficulties and threats by the POTUS to defund and disband the service. Those associated with overseas military installations rely exclusively on the USPS for their mail and packages, making it all the more ironic for those of us who supported that campaign whilst MoveOn continues to not support us through inclusion. MoveOn could do more for the USPS by including APOs than they might imagine. Don't exclude military and military associated personnel oversees from participating in MoveOn. The matter of adding APO addresses to the drop down menu and including our domestically-treated mailing addresses to the campaigns would be an easy, minor fix comparative to the gains of including those of us otherwise supportive of MoveOn.

A series of attacks including fire attacks,beating,being sliced with machetes and lack of shelters cover a group of one hundred thirty eight. This group tried to run for their lives and seemed refuge at UNHCR grounds but instead the officials gave the police chief of Kakuma an order to use any means and take the group back. Teargas,live amnition ,were used even when they very well knew we had young children as young as two days. They were forced on police patrol cars and dumped right in the worst homophobic ground and attacks resumed and the massive one which left over twenty nine LGBTQI LGBTQI persons hospitalized with cut wounds,dislocations,cracked skulls, yet it took four hours police just replied that we ho back to our countries find our fellow LGBTQI police to save us and UNHCR just switched off their help line number. And when the Kenya national emergency lines were called they only said that they only help nationals. Up to date attacks keep happening and out of desperation LGBTIQ persons have reached to committing suicide. Please whoever's can please your voices matters you can help save LGBTQI persons living at block 13 kakuma 3 zone 2 in north west Turkana region Kenya

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?
