The U.S. military is targeting kids as young as 13 while they play video games online. This is a blatant violation of military recruiting laws, which prohibit recruiting people under the age of 16, and is an insidious practice targeting young people who are vulnerable to abusive online advertising. Younger people have not had a chance to develop the skills to properly evaluate the claims of recruiters critically and are vulnerable to manipulation, particularly online. We must act to protect kids in the places they go online so they are not subject to illegal and unethical recruiting practices. Sign now and ask Twitch to ban military recruitment and protect younger users.

I feel this star would shine a lil more than the rest of stars we see in Hollywood. The courage,motivation, and pure determination he had during his fight with cancer just to show the world his talent is something to be seen,learned from and honored.

Joe Biden cannot control the narrative of a campaign against Donald Trump through words. HE MUST ACT. He should spend the remaining days of the campaign shuttling between Portland and Kenosha. Bring the parties together. GET THEM TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

Donald Trump is planning to visit Kenosha, WI on September 1, 2020 to “meet with local law enforcement and survey damage from the recent riots.” Donald Trump is not concerned about our state or city that is still reeling from recent tragedy and working to find a way forward. Trump's visit to Kenosha is merely a political ploy and a photo opportunity that only further jeopardizes the healing of Kenosha and the State of Wisconsin. Donald Trump has shown no regard for the Black lives of our City and State or for Jacob Blake and the Blake family, who are in immense pain, yet are calling for healing and peace. Using the open wound of Kenosha to benefit his political campaign is abhorrent, unethical and divisive. As citizens of Kenosha and/or of the State of Wisconsin, we do not choose to be or give consent to be used in this way.

Music venues not only provide entertainment and a gathering place, they also improve their communities and help heal the pain so many are dealing with during these extraordinary times. If venues do not get assistance, many will have to close their doors permanently. That must not happen. Please sign our petition and show your support. Thank you.

Every citizen has the right to expect all politicians to uphold the laws of the United States of America especially the national campaign laws. If one party is allowed to utilize federal property and taxpayer dollars to improperly fund their campaigns and conventions, the entire system which should be based on merit and independence will be disrupted.

Recently there has been a statue built of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth in Central Park. I love the theme of showing strong historic women, but Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton though well known suffragists were blatantly racist. Both women only advocated for white women’s right to vote even going so far as to say that black men did not deserve the right to vote because white women didn’t have it. However, Ida B. Wells was also a suffragist and so much more. America rarely teaches about the BIPOC history of our country. Ida B. Wells was a Black suffragist as well as one of the founders of the NAACP, an organization that is still around today. The NAACP has continuously fought for the equal rights of African Americans both politically and socially for over 100 years. Wells was also an anti-lynching campaigner and cited it as America’s national crime. A statue of her would help educate people on her contribution to history and end the stigma that only white history and the white experience matters and is correct. Which is something that we need to see more of in light of the BLM movement.

Inciting violence on a national stage is dangerous for America

Shortly following the appointment of Trump megadonor Louis DeJoy to Postmaster General, DeJoy began removing mail sorting machines and making a series of changes undermining the postal service's ability to process and deliver mail. DeJoy has donated millions to Donald Trump and still today holds interests in USPS competitors like Amazon and UPS, so crippling the post office aligns with not only his financial interests, but that of Trump who has openly admitted to hopes of suppressing mail-in-voting. Over the span of several months, DeJoy has removed and destroyed over 650 machines nationwide. That includes several processing machines in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina, which is why myself and other residents were compelled to take action! North Carolina postal workers have expressed concerns about the major restructuring, disconnecting essential machines, and other changes harming their ability to do their job in a safe and effective manner. During this pandemic, the state of North Carolina and its over 10 million residents, including those who live in rural parts and depend on USPS as their only provider, rely now more than ever on the postal service to deliver medications, Social Security checks, and other vital mail. The Chapel Hill community and surrounding triangle felt the significant delays. Instead of acknowledging the issue, Tillis refutes the lived experiences of North Carolinians and claims, “The Democrats are trying to politicize this. The post office is improving their on-time delivery, and DeJoy wants to. It’s been in debt. DeJoy wants to make sure it has the best delivery and the best apparatus available in the United States.” GOP attacks on the USPS during an election year are explicitly political, and harming the lives of North Carolinians. Instead of holding DeJoy accountable for damaging the postal service and calling on him to reverse changes, Senator Thom Tillis has accepted $36,000 in donations from him. Tillis has avoided answering questions about his connection to DeJoy and refuses to protect the postal service. Of course he refuses to act, he’s been paid off! Tillis chooses donor DeJoy over North Carolinians, over the integrity of his office, and puts our lives and our postal workers at risk. Thom Tillis must protect the postal service, hold DeJoy accountable, and return the donations that undermine his role as North Carolina Senator.

Growing up in the San Fernando Valley I had the honor to be surrounded by so many different types of people and it is this diversity that makes our city special. Woodland Hills, along with its neighboring cities, is on the western edge of the San Fernando Valley and is situated in the heart of Tongva, Fernandeno, and Chumash lands. Conquistadores came to these lands as part of the Spanish conquest and murdered, raped, and enslaved entire cultures of Native peoples. That is the brutal legacy of the Conquistadores. I am of Filipino ancestry, and Conquistadores also subjugated native Filipinos and their land in the name of conquest. In honor of all students and families with Native ancestry, and for all those who support a more just and equitable world for our children, please consider changing the name of our mascot from something that evokes violence and subjugation to something uplifting and powerful.

1) The management plan being considered for the Town Forest (and Fournier) lot specifies the majority (50 acres) of Town Forest land be used to "Crop Tree Release" - a term used to greenwash logging - versus 24 acres of reserve. Our Massachusetts forests are critical in mitigating climate change, preserving native wildlife and habitats, safeguarding soils, providing clean air and water, and offering public recreation. Logging our forests harms these values, while protecting our forests from cutting enhances them. Keeping our forests standing would allow them to absorb and store carbon at an increasing rate for centuries to come. This would complement the state’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the plan, there is no citizen support for active logging. Let's create old growth forest in Conway in the Town Forest! All the much larger surrounding lands (Northampton Water Supply, Conway State Forest, Cowl's Lumber) are being actively logged. The MA DCR rejected citizen and Conway Consideration recommendation to make the Conway State Forest a reserve. Making the Town Forest as a reserve would make up for the lack of reserve in surrounding lands. Invasive species control and trail creation and maintenance should also be allowed. 2) Residents and users of the beautiful and historic Cricket Hill Road have endured years of logging with accompanying noise, disturbance, frequent oil spills, trucks, and rutted trails. The state is planning 10 years of logging in the Conway State Forest. The disastrous first Town Forest logging project had many serious oil spills at a landing located adjacent to a wetland. Subsequent logging projects are a constant strain and disturbance to the area and have also had oil spills. If private landowners or the state need landings, they should be located off another road. Cricket Hill residents and users need a break! Why was Cricket Hill designated as a sacrifice area by previous Selectboards without citizen input? We ask that the Conway Selectboard to rescind any permissions to locate logging landings on Cricket Hill Road and Cricket Hill Extension.
