According to criminallegalnews.org, Blacks are overrepresented at every level of the criminal justice system but nowhere more so than in the percentage of known wrongful convictions. As of 2016, Blacks, who comprise less than 13% of the population of the U.S., account for 47% of the exonerations listed in the National Registry of Exonerations. Kevin Strickland and Lamar Johnson are two of many incarcerated men who deserve exoneration, through pardons by Gov. Parson, for crimes they did not commit. Gov. Parson can also be contacted by phone (573)751-3222, FAX 751-1495 or at www.facebook.com/GovMikeParson. An excellent summary of these cases can be found on CBS Sunday link: https://youtu.be/1M6C5WRi3Pw

We need safer ratios for our nurses to feel safe working bedside and for our patients to feel safe and get the care they deserve and need. “ If you’ve worked med surg and have had six patients you understand why this is so important.”

Gov. Kristi Noem used private funds to send the South Dakota National Guard to the border. That makes them military for hire: mercenaries. Further, welcoming people fleeing persecution at the point of a gun isn't the America I want to live in. Joe Biden is the commander-in-chief of every state's National Guard. His authority supersedes any governors'. Biden can nationalize the South Dakota National Guard, bring them back from their border deployment, and end the mercenary precedent set by Gov. Noem. In 1954, Eisenhower nationalized the Arkansas National Guard during the "Little Rock Nine" Crisis. In 1963, JFK nationalized the Alabama National Guard during the "standoff at the school door" crisis. Biden can do the same with your support.

We won our election. Now people in Congress are allowing the future progress to slip away for inconsequential, personal objections.

The US Department of Homeland Security sent a low-flying helicopter to aggressively scatter those protesting Line 3 in Minnesota — a massive proposed oil pipeline that would infringe upon Indigenous treaty rights and bulldoze hundreds of critical waterways used by the local Ojibwe people. It’s no surprise that law enforcement is taking such extreme and dangerous measures to protect Big Oil. Indigenous people have long been criminalized for protesting construction projects that threaten their basic needs and fighting for future generations to be able to exercise their basic rights. President Biden has the executive authority to put an immediate end to Line 3 construction — after all, he cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline during his first week in office.1 We need you to raise your voice and tell him that he must do the same with Line 3. Sign the petition: Biden must use his executive authority to halt Line 3 construction immediately! Indigenous people have a right to clean water, as well as a right to protest — and Big Oil is threatening both. Following the helicopter incident, the Homeland Security task force claimed that they were only trying to send a dispersal message, and that kicking up debris in an attempt to terrorize protestors was unintentional. But US law enforcement has long used helicopters as a scare tactic. A year ago, under Trump, an army helicopter was flown over a Black Lives Matter protest in DC, an act that was later deemed a misuse of a military aircraft. The helicopter at Line 3 was a terrifying 20 feet off the ground — a violation of the Code of Federal Regulations.2 It’s totally unacceptable that the Biden administration would use such aggressive tactics to intimidate those fighting for their basic rights but not intervene on behalf of them. Canadian energy firm Enbridge plans to bulldoze beneath previously undisturbed, sacred sections of the Ojibwe watershed. If built, Line 3 would ship 760,000 barrels of oil each day, carrying bitumen, a heavy oil that sinks in water and therefore nearly impossible to clean up.3 Biden could swiftly direct the Army Corps of Engineers to revoke the project’s water crossing permit, effectively stopping construction immediately. He pledged to make fighting for environmental justice a top priority — which is why we need to demand that he take action, right now. Tell Biden: Stop Line 3 construction now! Sources: 1.

When one of the founding members of Cannabis Vision Partners discovered her mother had breast cancer there was no where she could take her mother to for a safe, knowledgeable and comfortable experience at a dispensary. This was 14 years ago. Today not much has changed. We now have "apple store" style dispensaries and not one but TWO MedMen dispensaries approved by LA city council to operate in Venice, but none of them cater to women's needs and none of them are owned by women and certainly not women of color. Women and particularly women of color are the most disadvantaged when it comes to healthcare and almost invisible when it comes to natural healing. The needs of women and women of color are not being met in health and in business. One of the fastest growing industries is cannabis and currently the community of Venice Beach is being dominated and monopolized by greedy male corporations- essentially keeping out any women and especially women of color. This is a healing industry and the need for women focused healing is being neglected and we need change. You can make a difference for all women of color who choose to heal themselves with natural medicine and not with addictive pharmaceuticals and for women who want to make a difference in their communities. It all starts with someone like you who cares about women's needs.

I have 3 daughters on which has hit a pot hole while riding her bike and now has scars on her side of her body.

Other tenants have complained and tried to reach out but has been denied their right to have safe passage down our roads.
