Dear UESF educators, We are writing with an action item to support local hotel workers and our working class students. For the last year, non-union workers at the Pullman hotel in Redwood City have been asking for a fair process agreement so that they can choose the union without fear of retaliation. CALSTRS, the pension fund for California educators, has invested $3 Billion of teacher retirement savings in the company that owns the Pullman hotel, CBRE. On May 9, three brave workers drove to Sacramento to share their experiences of intimidation. In response, CALSTRS staff questioned the truth of their statements saying that they “were not able to verify any of these claims” from “these people.” See the recording here at 55:00. This is unacceptable behavior from a pension fund representing the interests of union employees. We are asking you to send an email to the CALSTRS board calling out these statements. The board needs to hear from teachers about how low-paying jobs in our community affect students and families. Please take a minute to send an email to CALSTRS. Sample letter below, but please make it your own--add details of where you work, and how you feel about your pension being invested in a way that hurts workers. Thank you!

The number of children being separated from their parents at the border as a result of Trump’s anti-immigration policies has grown so large that the Trump Administration wants to create “tent cities” along the Texas border to hold them. These are children who came to the U.S. border with their parents seeking protection from violent conditions back home. Not only has the Trump Administration separated them from their parents, the Administration wants to start holding them in places that have been referred to as “prison camps” and “concentration camps”. This is inhumane and should not be tolerated. Children belong on playgrounds with family members who love them. Both parents and children who seek asylum in the U.S. deserve to be safe and free. Sign the petition and tell Alex Azar, the Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, that no child should be held in a prison camp.

Craig Thiessen, a rancher from Datil, New Mexico, pleaded guilty last month to brutally massacring a highly endangered Mexican gray wolf. With only 114 Mexican wolves in the wild, the death of even one is a huge blow to the recovery of the species as a whole. In his guilty plea, Mr. Thiessen admitted to intentionally capturing a Mexican gray wolf in a trap on his grazing allotment in the Gila National Forest and hitting the wolf with a shovel. He also admitted to knowing that the wolf was a highly endangered Mexican gray wolf because it was wearing a tracking collar. As a holder of a grazing permit on a Gila National Forest allotment, the rancher has received significant taxpayer money in livestock subsidies from the federal government. In pleading guilty to this criminal act of cruelty and disregard for a species on the brink of extinction, Mr. Thiessen has demonstrated his failure to meet the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of a public lands grazing permit. Please join us in asking the United States Forest Service Gila National Forest District Ranger to immediately cancel his grazing permit.

In 2016, the Justice Department and all of our intelligence agencies reported that agents of the Russian government interfered in the election. Virtually nothing has been done. We need to ensure that our 2018 elections are secure.

Our small community of Jacksonville, OR deserves the very best! Support Blade & Bourbon LLC in obtaining the historic Jacksonville Barbershop (est. 1869) facility. This barbershop should remain locally owned, operated and community minded.

Every year globally, 22,800 women die from lack of access to safe reproductive healthcare. We are starting this campaign because at this time, of the 40-50 million abortions performed each year, 45% are considered unsafe and 14% undeniably dangerous. We hope that through this petition, we can take a step towards a future where finding reproductive health care doesn’t come at a detriment to one's safety.

To make pay better for those who are the some of the backbones of the country

The City of Clermont needs to keep industrial businesses from impacting the beauty and uniqueness of Clermont by denying any industrial retail business from building on land near residential or environmentally sensitive areas.

On Friday, the Senate released the text of the Farm Bill. The new bill still gives massive handouts to factory farms that pollute our air, water and soil. It also fails to expand conservation programs that would help farmers limit their use of toxic pesticides. We can’t let Congress pass a business-as-usual bill that continues to support Big Ag. We need a bill that prioritizes consumers, family farmers and the planet.

Seth Beer's number should be 30 and should remain 30 until he retires.... Jersey sales will skyrocket.

Terio is always delayed. The developers (SpooksHD and AshCraft) always say some random date. And on that random date, Terio is never released. Anyway, the main reason this is a problem is I spent a million robux on this game, and they still haven't released it.

The Supreme Court's ruling in favor of Ohio's purging of voter rolls is a serious threat to our democracy. Social media can post public service announcements encouraging everyone to check their voter registration status to ensure they're registered to vote.
