  • Support the Stone Creek Coffee Workers Union!
    Workers at Stone Creek Coffee have met for the past several months to discuss their issues at work, and are organizing to form a Union to meet with management as equals! Show your solidarity as they work with Teamsters Local 344 to build that vision. Lend your voice in support of the following issues: 1. We're proud to be Stone Creek employees. Stone Creek Coffee is a Milwaukee company, and we support local, quality made products. Our union will give a voice to the workers as equals, where we can have a contract to fix scheduling, hours of work, and other issues permanently. An open-door policy is fine, but we want a union contract! 2. Stone Creek workers deserve a raise. We are the faces and the muscle of the company, and wages of 8-10 dollars force us to rely on tips to survive. We deserve a fair days work for a fair days pay. 3. Stone Creek Coffee management should recognize our union, or at least remain neutral as we organize and find our voice. Milwaukee is a union town that respects working families – not union-busters.

  • William Barr must be removed as Attorney General
    The Attorney General of the United States is the highest legal official in our land. To have a person occupying that office who does not support one of the core principles of the 1st amendment goes against the very nature of American justice and democracy and thus should not be allowed to serve in such a capacity.

  • Governor Gavin Newsom: Fairness in Marijuana Licensing !
    Change the licensing fees structure so that they are more affordable to those communities that were hurt most by the draconian drug sentencing of the 1980s and 90s. The program in Oakland is a good start but it is not working per this article: https://reason.com/archives/2018/07/19/oaklands-weed-equity-program-not-helping In the 1920s & 30s my grandfather, along with many black sharecroppers in the Dallas, TX area, were forced to risk their lives by growing marijuana to supplement his meager sharecropping income, due to Jim Crow laws, and were prosecuted for such offenses. Fast forward to the 1980s and 90s, this country passed a number of laws that increased drug sentencing in black and brown communities that resulted in disparate jail times for non-violent drug offenders based amount and form of the drugs possessed by offenders. Today many are affected negatively by such laws and are being barred from participating in the new legal marijuana industry because they have drug convictions under the aforementioned unfair laws that were levied against them. In effect, they are being penalized twice by the very laws that we know were unfair at inception. Black and brown communities were decimated by the incarceration under laws we know now to be both racist and immoral. Therefore, California should continue to be a leader in such reforms by changing the laws in light of past atrocities, and thus allowing these communities, to be able to operate on an equal and level playing field and use the funds from marijuana sales to rebuild their lives and their communities.

  • Skip the AIPAC Trip, Join Rep. Tlaib to the West Bank
    As people of conscience residing in Kansas Congressional District 03, we respectfully request that Representative Davids rejects the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)-sponsored trip to Israel and instead accompany Representative Rashida Tlaib on her alternative trip to the West Bank. Israel denies Palestinians their basic human rights. They imprison children in a military court system, demolish Palestinian homes, subject Palestinians to checkpoints, have created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and ban millions of refugees from returning to their homes and lands. A March, 2019 U.N. report found Israel intentionally targeted unarmed children and journalists during the peaceful protests in Gaza. Anyone who travels with AIPAC to Israel will not see the reality of Israel’s military occupation. Instead, they will see only and exactly what Israel wants them to see. The purpose of AIPAC-sponsored trips is to cover up Israel’s human rights violations and continue unchecked U.S. financial and diplomatic support for Israel- all at the expense of Palestinians. Two members of Congress, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have already announced they will be skipping the AIPAC trip. Please do the right thing and join them. Stand up for justice and against apartheid. Skip AIPAC’s trip to Israel and travel to the West Bank with Rep Tlaib.

  • No War for Oil in Venezuela!
    As an American watching this country's acts of imperialism for so many decades, I am outraged at what I'm now seeing in Venezuela, a blatant usurpation of a sovereign country, a democratic people, a duly elected President. who we would attempt to replace with a US sycophant. We have no right to override the will of the Venezuelan people to satisfy our own greed and desire for riches and power. It is time to speak out! We can not be silent participants. We must be better than this!

  • Patient-Safe Staffing Act Listens to Nurses
    Medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the US. Instead of becoming well, hospital stays are lengthened because there are not enough nurses at the bedside to do the critical work nurses do. Nurses are leaving the hospital bedside because of dissatisfaction and burnout. The public has the backs of Nurses with an 84% rating as the most trusted profession. Listen to a nurse.
