  • Tell Mitch McConnell -- Election Day should be a federal holiday
    Did you hear what Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor? The Senate Majority Leader blasted a proposal to make Election Day a federal holiday, claiming it was a “political power grab.” In our democracy, our vote is our voice. Any leader who fears letting more Americans have a say shouldn’t be in charge of anything -- and any politician who tries to shut our friends and neighbors out of our democracy deserves a resounding rebuke. No eligible American should have to choose between their job and their fundamental right to vote. But as most elections are held on a Tuesday, many voters are forced to make that very decision every year -- especially those in states without early voting or a vote-by-mail option. Among nonvoters surveyed by the US Census Bureau, the most commonly cited reason for not voting was “being too busy or having conflicting work schedules.” [1] And especially when voters can expect to wait hours in line, the time commitment can be an insurmountable burden. Making Election Day a federal holiday would enable millions of Americans to take an active role in their government and speak out for the people and policies that affect their family and friends. It’s time for Congress to act -- and make our democracy more accessible to us all. Add your name to demand that Election Day is made a federal holiday. 1) https://www.businessinsider.com/is-election-day-a-national-holiday-2016-11

  • Petition To Amend The Names Of The Cape Coast And Elmina Castles
    Enslaved Africans during the European Slave Trade in Ghana, West Africa were brutally housed in the bowels of the castles; Castles was NOT their collective experience; for they languished in the dark, dirty and rodent infested "Dungeons" of the Castles, being raped, tortured and inhumanly treated, before being brutally shipped to the Americas and the Caribbean to be sold into slavery.

  • Stop FEMA from Forcing Paradise Fire Victims Off Their Properties
    Five family members survived the Camp Fire having lost everything but the clothes they wore. My son Keith now lives in his own trailer on our property in Paradise CA. FEMA is bullying the town and county by threatening to withhold 1.7 billion dollars in disaster relief if they do not force all residents living in their own trailers on their own land to leave immediately. FEMA must stop this cruel action and ask residents to leave only for the time debris clean up is occurring on or near their property.
