• Allan Morsley: Encourage the judge to allow Mr. Morsley to return home and help the community
    Research and time highlighted many errors and wrongs done by actors within the criminal justice system. The system itself is in place for a reason. Many people with violent crimes are being released throughout the country. Drug offenders are also being released. Mr. Morsley has served over 25 years. This length of time is given to murderers. Let’s be clear, there are no murders related to this case or committed by Mr. Morsley. Mr. Morsley is needed at home. His mother has suffered 3 strokes and has developed dementia. His father is currently battling cancer. His children have been without a father. Upon his return, he will dedicate his remaining years to uplift and encourage youth to participate in the community, avoid doors that lead to criminal activity, and to refrain from bullying others into negative activity. So what’s his plan when he gets home? He will link with a newly formed community non-profit “We The Bright Lights of the Future” which will foster community-led events to collect items for impoverished. The goal is to ask people for help without forcibly taking from others. We will advocate for a credible messenger program to be established in the District 29 school system to allow Mr. Morsley to share his life of mishaps in hopes it discourages future offenders from traveling the same path. Mr. Morsley has developed his barber skills and will be working on becoming a licensed barber in NYS. Once he secures his license he will be employed at a neighborhood barbershop in Jamaica, Queens. We have a Master Barber already willing to sponsor this task. While in prison, he was a suicide watch companion and completed his drug education training. He will be instrumental in reducing the rising suicide and drug use in Black teens in the community. We ask for you to please sign this petition to give this person a chance at rehabilitation. He has paid his debt and recognizes his faults as a youth. Having someone with his knowledge of where troubled decisions lead will be instrumental in the reduction of crime in our communities.

  • Uniform removal in Springfield public schools
    It’s important because students cannot be themselves or express themselves with uniform, students cannot be comfortable in school because of uniform as well. Uniform does not have to do with education at all, students behavior is the reason why there is uniform, it’d be better to consequence the student instead of making uniform for the whole city. Almost every student could agree that uniform is unnecessary and spending money on it every year is not needed.

  • Stop Betsy DeVos’ attack on scammed students
    Time and again, Betsy DeVos has shown just how determined she is to help her friends who run predatory for-profit colleges, no matter the cost to the students she is supposed to protect. Last year was no exception, as the Department of Education released a new regulation that would further hurt students already defrauded by for-profit colleges. The decades-old “borrower defense to repayment” rule is meant to cancel the student loans of student borrowers who have been defrauded by their colleges. The Obama administration updated and formalized this process in a 2016 rule. But when DeVos became secretary of education, she set out to undo it. And that’s not all: she is currently being held in contempt of court for continuing to collect on the debt of students whose debts are supposed to have been cancelled already. Instead of supporting students, DeVos has attacked defrauded borrowers, limiting their loan forgiveness by millions of dollars, and allowing schools to use the forced arbitration “ripoff clause” in their contracts, which bars them from having their day in court if their school breaks the law. For many affected students—so many of whom are veterans, first-generation college students, and people of color—it’s a double whammy: not only are their finances and careers wrecked by having worthless degrees, they have no way to seek justice because DeVos has changed the rules to stack the deck against them. DeVos’ rewrite puts the burden of proof on individual borrowers,, a tactic meant to make it harder for borrowers to win their money back even when they have been ripped off, and to stop people fighting back together. DeVos’ version of the rule would force hundreds of thousands of students defrauded by for-profit colleges to suffer yet another injustice. But Congress could stop her! Congress is poised to vote on whether the DeVos rule should be repealed. It’s time for Congress to stand up for students and reject Betsy DeVos’ gifts to abusive for profit schools at the expense of students. Tell your lawmakers to vote to repeal the DeVos borrower defense rule, by supporting H.J.Res. 76 and S.J.Res. 56.

  • Let's Stop Bullying
    This is important to me because my brother got bullied at our old school for years and nobody did anything about it, not even the teachers standing right there! Not all teachers are like this. Some genuinely don't know about or see bullying happening. So, I feel like teachers should keep a better eye on students. Also, the students around did nothing either. It makes you just as bad as the bully if you see bullying occurring but don't do anything about it.

  • Ask Ambassador John Bolton to speak now and not wait for a subpoena that may never be drafted
    He most likely will never receive a subpoena and he can change the course of the impeachment proceedings. Either way we will have his truth.

  • ADD YOUR NAME: Make John Bolton Testify
    Even after House members have voted to impeach President Trump, they still have important work to do. Right now, they’re negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to stop him from rigging President Trump’s impeachment trial for an acquittal. But McConnell can’t stop them from continuing to investigate the White House as a co-equal branch of government. And they can start right now by subpoenaing former National Security Advisor John Bolton -- who said he’d be “prepared to testify” in a Senate trial. Top national security officials have already testified that Bolton, who abruptly left in September, was concerned by Trump’s efforts to strongarm Ukraine by withholding military aid -- allegedly equating the discussions to a “drug deal.” Bolton has firsthand knowledge of Trump’s extortion scheme -- others have testified that he tried to stop it as it happened. It’s possible that he’ll be a big crack in the dam, leading to more and more administration officials coming forward to tell the truth and avoid going down with Trump. A House subpoena is backed by force of law -- and even though Bolton’s lawyers won’t confirm whether he’d testify to the House as well, the House would be within its rights to use any legal means needed to compel his testimony. If you agree that we have a right to hear John Bolton’s potentially damning testimony about Trump, add your name to tell House Democrats to subpoena him.
