MDC Brooklyn is a pretrial detention facility and so the majority of its inhabitants are innocent under the eyes of the law. These conditions mimic those of solitary confinement - which is a violation of the United Nations Basic Principles for the Treatment of Prisoners - and the long-term psychological and physical impact will follow around these individuals for the rest of their lives.

It is more important now than ever to address the lack of diversity in children's literature in our educational systems. As our society continues to become more diverse, it is crucial that our literature reflects and promotes this diversity to cultivate understanding and empathy among all individuals. Recent events have highlighted the critical need for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our lives, including education.

Our states are being silenced unless you are part of the Christian Republican party. They are harming our kids, keeping us in poverty, and damaging our communities. It is time to do more than just roll our eyes. We need to show them that we mean business.

We respectfully request you place HB389 on the Education & Employment Committee's agenda at your earliest convenience to improve the learning conditions for so many students in Florida.

To appropriately confront the climate crisis, San Francisco must implement and -- critically -- fund its Climate Action Plan (CAP). Climate advocates have already been pushing Mayor London Breed to include funding for climate programs at the Environment Department, which will be decided by early summer. Another critical funding juncture is also approaching in April. Every 2 years, the Board of Supervisors approves a list of prioritized bonds -- money that the city borrows to fund vital functions. Last year, a study by the UC Berkeley Center for Law, Energy & the Environment specifically recommended a bond measure as one important source of funds for implementing the CAP. In December, the Board unanimously passed a resolution urging the Office of Resilience and Capital Planning to include a climate bond in its upcoming bond schedule. In yet another example of head-in-the-sand malpractice by city leaders, the Office of Resilience and Capital Planning released its proposed bond schedule without a climate bond, saying that there simply isn't borrowing capacity. We can't stand idly by while city leaders throw up their hands, pass the buck, and refuse to prioritize climate, again and again. Melting ice caps, rising seas, and a looming fire season don't care about their continued excuses, delay, and failed leadership. We need them to dig in, do the work, and figure it out -- or stand back and make room for new leaders who will rise to the occasion. Tell the Board of Supervisors to stand by their unanimous request for a climate bond and not vote to approve a bond schedule that doesn't include one.

The dug felon bans on SNAP and TANF undermine efforts by individuals to transition successfully into their communities and to provide for their families.

leggings should NOT be sexualized on middle school girls. We are only children that want the ability to express ourselves.

Amending the Rent Control and Tenant Protection Ordinance in favor of the Meadows owners, will create displacement of families, families with children in CCUSD, senior citizens, retirees, those with disabilities, residents who work in Culver City, while increasing the 43% of Culver City Renters who are rent burdened. Instead of serving the 48% of Culver City Residents who are renters, it will cause an exodus, and challenge those who are displaced. They will most likely be unable to relocate in Culver City or find affordable housing in neighboring communities. We are especially sensitive to displaced senior citizens and children who are pulled out of school before graduating as seniors from Culver City High School.

Because it's so many people who where put in my very same position or similar

We are only given one earth. We are only given one life. Our planet is screaming at us for help, but the sound of our factories covers it. The sound of our fancy cars drowned out its pleas for us to stop treating it so poorly. Why should we play the role of God and decide if future generations get the opportunity to experience the divinity of our planet? Why should we play God and chose to kill enormous amounts of wildlife for oil and money? What has our world come too?

The impact that Bud Grant had on this state during his tenure ask coach and afterwords to the organization is immeasurable.

It is important people in positions of responsibility be honest with the general public, so "we the people" can make intelligent decisions. Rep. Loudermilk's refusal to explain his behavior suggests he supported the insurrection, and is a traitor to the United States of America. But we can't know if he won't even explain his behavior.
