Selling the YMCA building on Mamaroneck Avenue will deprive us all of a vital resource for community health and well-being. The proposed non-facility model is an utterly inadequate substitute for the YMCA as it stands. We need the YMCA to live up to its posted slogan, "Always here for our community." This sale should be stopped.

Americans have become disenfranchised from protecting the children of our great nation and it’s time for everyone to stand up and stop the carnage! I have never had children but I vigorously support the right of our children to wake up and go to a safe school and learn without fear or trepidation!

To be delivered to the Los Angeles Police Commissioners and the Inspector General (listed above): Angelenos demand that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) immediately rescind its Predicting Policing programs. Consisting of a location-based tactic called PredPol and a person-based, location-based tactic called Operation LASER (Los Angeles Strategic Extraction and Restoration), these programs are targeting and criminalizing our communities resulting in the harassment, displacement, evictions, and possibly even the death of our community members. Anchored in the war on terror, the architects of PredPol and Operation LASER are engaged in massive amounts of data collection and surveillance using pseudo-science to trace, track, monitor, stalk, criminalize, and target communities. Predictive Policing policing programs are continuing to expand nationwide and need to be dismantled. Predictive Policing in Los Angeles - PredPol guesses about future crimes and uses algorithms to create 500 X 500 ft hotspots in neighborhoods, essentially pathologizing whole communities and saturating these communities with police who presume crime will occur. - Predpol is based on historic crime data that is rife with bias. This creates a feedback loop that amplifies the targeting of communities that have always been targeted by police. - Another example of pseudo-science that drives PredPol is the claim by one of the the creators of Predpol - Jeff Brantingham, professor of anthropology at UCLA, who compares “criminal offenders with hunter-gatherers,” and states that “the behaviors a hunter-gatherer uses to choose a wildebeest versus a gazelle are the same calculations a criminal uses to choose a Honda versus a Lexus.” - The creators of Operation LASER claim the program to be analogous to medical surgery, with the basic premise of targeting individuals with laser-like precision in the community, similar to how “a medical doctor uses modern technology to remove tumors.” - LASER is a person-based predictive policing program in which individual community members who may have had previous contact with the law enforcement are presumed to be criminal. - A Chronic Offender Bulletin, similar to a most wanted poster, is issued about the person. There is no way to contest the Bulletin which ultimately results in the creation of another secret list. - LASER also creates LASER Zones where homes, business, and buildings are deemed criminal and LAPD "intervenes" by evicting and serving abatement notices to people and their families, effectively displacing them and making it impossible to rent again.

Yes. I have grandchildren who are high school age and I am concerned for their safety .

When the FCC announced that net neutrality would be repealed, it it was done so in an unethical manner by use of stolen and/or fake identities and corporate meddling. Our representatives however, on the FCC's side citing that "it will create more jobs", in reality it would actually cost us millions of the jobs we created on the internet. Net Neutrality must be preserved.

I'm tired of thoughts and prayers. I'm tired of inaction. I'm tired of seeing children murdered. I'm tired of seeing my neighbors murdered at movie theaters and concerts. I'm from a military family and know about responsible use and ownership of guns. Let's change this.

I moved to Colorado because of its excellent reputation for being a progressive and forward - thinking place. I have since learned that it's one of the dirtier places I have ever lived, competing with New York and Chicago for the crush of unwashed garbage littering the streets. I would like recycling services to be made available in every public space where resources are consumed, and required in HOA's and Tenancy agreements as a utility option state-wide. Colorado is already very friendly towards green energy and has a lot to offer any newcomer, but around 10,000 people move here each week and each person generates an average of 4lbs of garbage per day. There are already over a million people here. Places that don't offer recycling services such as living complexes, shopping centers, and corporate offices should be held accountable for the garbage they generate that could have been recycled, and everyone should be given the o choice to help save our planet.

March for Truth demands urgency and transparency in the investigation into foreign interference in American elections.

Indianapolis has a history of welcoming anyone who comes into our beautiful city. It is time that we shut the door on ICE and continue that heritage of welcome by welcoming our immigrant brothers and sisters.

As an American mother, I object to the fact that since Trump's inauguration, more school children have died, than soldiers, and that their already financially struggling parents have to suffer thru grief AND pay funeral/hospital bills.

Our family dog, Arya went missing from our property on 4/21/18 after neighbors threw a party and set off illegal fireworks. We lost sight of her after she ran towards the party guests. In a matter of moments, she was gone. We asked for help from the neighbors by giving us the list of party guests to gather information. They refused to help us. It was later reported one of the guests took our beloved dog. In addition, law enforcement refused to even write a citation for the fireworks, which are illegal in our area. Upon doing research in our search for Arya I have discovered animals have little to no rights when it comes to being placed in harm's way. Fireworks in a residential setting place our family pets in harm's way as evidenced by our own situation in which my two-year-old horse was injured trying to get away from the noise. She ended up putting her leg through our fence and injuring a tendon. Further evidenced by the loss of our dog, I also learned in cases of theft of an animal there are very few consequences and certainly not severe consequences. Please help my family and I get this message to our State officials in order to increase animal protection and theft laws in our area.

Michigan Amtrak trains are frequently sold out especially on weekends. Infrastructure improvements would allow increasing the service frequency to handle the unmet demand. It would also improve on time performance by removing bottlenecks that currently exist due to limited passing sidings.
