Contact your Member of Congress to tell them they MUST fund reauthorize critical funding for Community Health Centers NOW.

GPO and WEP penalize thousands of retirees; 79% of them are women. Loss of earned benefits is severe, often resulting in substantial lifestyle reductions and even poverty for first responders, fire and police personnel, who may have come from the military, as well as teachers, librarians, air traffic controllers, secretaries and others whose fully-earned Social Security from previous jobs will be cut back when they retire. Their spouses suffer loss as well.

It is imperative the Democratic Party return to a party by and for the people. Superdelegates are contrary to the nature of democratic elections and one person, one vote. The sooner we move to eliminate the undeserved influence of superdelegates, the stronger the Democratic Party will be. It is imperative we win back the trust of those we lost in the last election over this issue.

new road. I know people that had damage to their suspension from the bad roads and have had high repair bills and lawsuits against the city

Personally experiencing racism in high school in 1994-1995 (Wedowee, AL), I was told that I was a "mistake" because my mother is black and my father is white and he, the "leader", did not want the students to take someone outside their race to the prom, which prompted him to cancel the prom. Alabama allowed him to continue teaching after several known problems due to segregation on buses, speaking against dating other races, harsher treatment to black students, etc. Alabama only swept problems under the rug, or in this case, the school was burned down and the dust flew while the principal was promoted to superintendent, as people of color were left once again to keep it all together and wondering why did our state let us down again?

Many students have gotten sick due to freezing weather, it's not okay for kids to be standing out at bus stops in the cold. Some schools have outside campus's where students are forced to walk outside to go to their classes. Due to freezing cold weather it can cause ice on the roads and lead to many car accidents.

Elected officials who lie on behalf of our lying POTUS have no place in our government. Especially when the lie covers up President Trump's bigotry. I am both saddened and outraged at how easy it was for Senator Perdue to cover up for President Trump. If he can't tell the truth about this how can we trust anything he does? By extension Senator Perdue reveals himself as a racist which is totally and absolutely unacceptable to me. All of Africa and many other nations around the world are outraged by Trump's obvious problem. It weighs negatively on the honor and dignity of our nation and all of our people. Let Senator Perdue know his cover up is unacceptable.

This is for everyone who is forced to live mostly or entirely on their Social Security.

The Mission District is over the amount of market-rate housing that was calculated in the 2008 Eastern Neighborhoods Plan. We are in dire need of affordable housing. This project provides 75 Luxury units, only 8 affordable and is 8 stories high. This project also has negative health impacts on the SFUSD public school children next door. Please uphold our appeal and protect our children! This will be heard at the Full Board of Supervisors, February 13, 2018. This project is at 2918 Mission St. @ 25th.

Pilot programs are being conducted in some New York prisons that require inmates to purchase books from approved vendors, and care packages are additionally restricted. Various prisons nationwide are cutting off the option of in-person visitation in favor of online visitation. Despite breaking the law, our prison population is still human. Humans require social contact. We should be opening as many avenues to personalized connection with the outside world as possible for the prison population. We should not be focusing on finances and expedience over the humane treatment of the people under the control of our justice system. Care packages and donated books should be allowed; if contraband is an issue, we should invest in airport-style security screening. In person visitation should never be withheld. We are all personally affected by how we treat those lowest on the rungs of our society.

Residential solar is one of the best answers to Climate Change. Solar is possible on only about a quarter of our housing stock. It is impossibly costly to change. I’ve seen the advantage on my house.

On January 16, 2018, the US Administration made the decision to freeze millions of dollars to UNRWA in 2018. As the single largest contributor to UNRWA globally, this is an unprecedented and extremely dangerous decision that will cause untold additional trauma and harm to Palestine refugees in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, who rely on UNRWA's services. Since UNRWA began its operations in May 1950, every administration, from Truman onwards, has stood with and provided strong, generous, and committed support to the agency. This administration is the only to make the destructive decision to cut such funding. Through UNRWA’s humanitarian and development work, it is unique in providing vital services that are akin to those normally provided through governments and does so directly through over 33,000 staff, most of whom are Palestine refugees themselves. As a neutral and impartial UN agency, it: -Educates 525,000 girls and boys in 700 UNRWA schools, including education on human rights, conflict resolution, and tolerance. -Operates more than 140 health centers and delivers comprehensive primary health-care services, handling more than 9 million patient visits per year. -Provides cash assistance and shelter rehabilitation to help refugees meet their basic human needs of food, shelter, and environmental health to achieve a decent standard of living and improve infrastructure and living conditions in the 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps. -Provides emergency humanitarian assistance through life-saving cash, food, and shelter support in Gaza and Syria. I implore the White House to reconsider this decision, as it is against our American principles, global security and safety, and common human interest. In line with the democratic and humanitarian values this country was founded on and stands for, the US government's investment in UNRWA's work must be sustained, as it affects not only the lives of the over 5 million Palestine refugees the organization serves but the future and stability of the Middle East and beyond.
