Big Indian Creek is a vague and culturally insensitive label for the state's history.

This smelter will destroy our beautiful lives; homes; waters; recreation; and the health of our children.

Domestic violence must end, those in power should not only set example, but actually live their so called higher callings. The alleged act of punching his wife in the face because she undressed to slowly for sex is unfathomable to say the least. Women are not sex objects or toys, hopefully his wife will seek a divorce, domestic partner counseling, and get the hell out of Mississippi! Demand his resignation immediately from the Mississippi's state government.

Although the 1968 Fair Housing Act has helped reverse wrongful housing practices, Dr. Carson and HUD appear to be helping history repeat itself with their unfair housing policies. Not only are the policies unfair, but they will create greater housing disparities and an eviction crisis among the poor. If Secretary Carson has not done so already, I implore him to establish an advisory committee of public servants/Social Workers and other social service agencies to explore holistic,family centered, and empowering approaches to his housing policies. As Social Workers and gatekeepers of our communities, we are in a better position to offer innovative approaches to addressing issues of housing.

I believe in the individual's right of choice regarding abortion, and laws like the one recently passed in Alabama spit in the face of these ideals.

People who work around the construction sites are suffering daily from what is now becoming chronic respiratory and autoimmune diseases. My loved ones and friends have developed severe, chronic coughs, bronchitis, and other upper respiratory disorders since the construction started. I have suffered migraines, severe allergies, and arthritic pain. We need an alternative work environment until the construction is over. Working remotely would solve the problem.

We need Medicare for All Americans. Senators Udall and Heinrich are co-sponsors of the matching Senate bill 1129. We need to let Xochitl know we want her to co-sponsor HR 1384 Medicare for All Act 2019.

As someone who enjoys gushers, I think it's fairly simple to understand why they're so popular. However, given that gushers are a lunchbox favorite around America, and that General Mills is a multimillion dollar corporation, it's quite surprising to find out that they do NOT practice sustainable farming habits to aquire the palm oil which they use for their Fruit Gushers. Join me in calling upon CEO Harmening and making sure lunchtime treats don't come at the cost of degrading the forests of Malaysia and Borneo.

A handful of House Democrats are joining up with Big Cable lobbyists to SHUT DOWN our efforts to restore Net Neutrality. We need to tell them they should be on our side -- not Comcast or Verizon's. In 2017, the Trump Administration got rid of the Net Neutrality protections that stop Comcast and Verizon from controlling what we can see or do online. But earlier this year, we successfully fought back -- passing the Save the Internet Act through the House of Representatives. The Save the Internet Act would reverse the Trump FCC’s decision and restore the protections against blocking, throttling, or charging special fees to access the websites we visit every day. Plus, it’ll let the FCC investigate and punish companies that break those rules -- like when Verizon throttled the Santa Clara Fire department during its wildfire response. Earlier this year, activists like you flooded the House with calls and emails -- and we got all 235 members of the Democratic caucus to pass the Save The Internet Act. Now, Big Cable lobbyists are trying to kill our efforts to restore Net Neutrality. They’re circulating a letter in the House -- with about 40 Democratic members signed on -- encouraging House leaders to abandon the Save the Internet Act in favor of a watered-down ‘bipartisan working group’ on Net Neutrality. The Save the Internet Act is already a bipartisan bill - 86% of Americans and 77% of Republicans support restoring FULL Net Neutrality protections. A new group, packed with Big Cable-friendly lawmakers, meant to water down Net Neutrality can’t represent that consensus. That’s why it’s critical to get every Democratic House member off this letter. There’s no time to waste, and your voice can make a difference. Tell the House majority to stand up for the Open Internet today.

Texas lawmakers have stoked a nationwide controversy with a new attack on students’ rights to protest racist extremism on their campus. Over the past few years, far-right campus speakers like open neo-Nazi Richard Spencer have been met with massive student protests -- with some even succeeding in getting the invitations to speak rescinded. But if this bill had been in place back then, many students who spoke out -- and their schools -- would be subjected to mandatory, harsh disciplinary sanctions. And, those penalties would apply even for protesting against dangerous, racist extremists like Richard Spencer. This bill would also ban schools from taking positions on issues of public concern -- even issues like campus sexual assault, which directly affect their students. College students should get to hear from diverse points of view -- but they also deserve every right to protest neo-Nazis on campus. This new policy is a direct attack on students’ rights to advocate for themselves -- and if you don't want it coming to your state, we need a NATIONWIDE outcry to stop it. Americans from across the country have already spoken out against this attack on free speech, and successfully got SB 18 sent back for revision. I need your help to protect the right to protest -- join me in telling Texas lawmakers to kill these bad, anti-free speech proposals for good.
