Clarence Thomas ResignLike falling dominoes, the accusers of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein trained a cascading spotlight on sexual predators. But it was Anita Hill who lifted the covers 26 years ago, bringing daylight to this rampant abuse. Anita Hill risked her reputation and personal standing to expose your vile and perverted behavior. She courageously took a stand for justice. In return, you got a seat for a lifetime. Today, justice is overdue for the undersigned petitioners – those who remember and a new generation then unborn. We who lived through your confirmation process believed Anita Hill then and we believe her now. We are also certain she was not alone. Where there is one target of abuse, for serial predators like you, there are many. The pattern and practice is to exact control, not because you desire, but simply because you can. The truth about your misconduct cannot be erased. Although the all-male Senate panel shut down the debate in 1991, those voices that attempted to surface won’t be muffled in 2017. The senators who were complicit in the shameful cover-up surely owe the nation an apology. For you, Clarence Thomas, no apology is enough. Just resign. Public scrutiny and public accountability have no statute of limitation. Decades have lapsed but the public trust still demands action. You were given a pass that has now expired. Your indignant denials, under oath before Congress, were perjury and grounds for your removal from the bench. Resign now to save the nation the wrenching turmoil of impeachment hearings. We also call on your victims – before and after Anita Hill – to come forward, join us and speak out. They won’t be muzzled or rebuked. You’ve enjoyed your day in court for 26 years: Now it’s time for the women who survived your perversions to have theirs. We stand with them in the court of public opinion. From Hollywood to Alabama, from Fox News to NPR, from the halls of Congress to the stage of comedians, widespread sexual abuse is exposing a corrupt power dynamic. But none of those men enjoy the consequential measure and impact that you wield from your perch on the U.S. Supreme Court. Your influence in shaping laws, lives and untold practices, today and in the future, is far-reaching. Your damaging misconduct on and off the bench has been unchecked. You are unfit to serve. It’s time to account. Since 1991 justice has been delayed, but it can no longer be denied. Clarence Thomas: Resign.629 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Anita Not Alone Campaign

CVS spent $32.5MM to kill DEA's anti-opioid toolI am appalled that a company would spend lavishly in their self-interest to defeat the government's most effective tool to combat the opioid crisis. I hold them partially responsible for the misery and crisis of the opioid epidemic because they put profit ahead of country.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NIck Folger

To The Court Officials Of SouthHaven MS: Remove Former Officer Connor Schilling From The Road & H...Former Memphis police officer Connor Schilling appeared in a Southaven courtroom on Wednesday on DUI charges following an arrest on July 13. Schilling, 28, did not speak in court and would not talk to reporters outside the courtroom. His case has been rescheduled for Nov. 29. On July 17, 2015, Schilling was a three-year veteran of the MPD when he shot and killed 19-year-old Darrius Stewart after a minor traffic stop. Stewart was a passenger in the vehicle. According to the Southaven arrest report, a caller alerted the police that a blue GMC Sierra pickup was "all over the road, " that the driver might be driving under the influence and that the vehicle was heading into the Taco Bell on Church Road. Officer Whitney Walley arrived at the Taco Bell shortly before 1 a.m. and saw Schilling as he drove away from the drive-through and occupied two spaces in the parking lot. Walley noted that Schilling smelled of alcohol, had red watery bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and swayed when he stood. Schilling told the officer he'd had four beers. Among the items found in his pickup was an empty pint bottle of Jim Beam whiskey. Bond was set at $500. He has entered a plea of not guilty and is being represented by Anthony Farese. Schilling is now living in Nesbit, Mississippi. After the Stewart shooting, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich recommended that Schilling be charged with voluntary manslaughter and using a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. But a grand jury did not indict him and a federal review of the shooting ended with insufficient evidence to support charges. Schilling has since retired on disability due to post-traumatic stress disorder, which has been attributed to the shooting. Earlier this month Schilling was deposed in a federal lawsuit filed by Stewart's family. Not his first DUI arrest Schilling was charged with DUI on July 5, 2014, and was suspended by the MPD for 18 days. According to department records, he was arrested at the scene, but the charges were dropped when the arresting officer failed on two occasions to appear in court. Schilling was also accused by a woman of using excessive force during a July 30, 2013, traffic stop. The woman filed a complaint and claimed she was bruised and that Schilling put a knot on her head. Enough is Enough.....!! He is a Danger To The Public! Former Police Officer Connor Schilling was Sworn to protect and Serve He Should Know The Law and Should Be Punished. Our streets Must Be safe for Our Children, Our Elderly and Our Disabled! He should Go to Jail!11,400 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Lakeesha

Ann Arbor Demands Police Oversight & Alternatives to PolicingI'm an Ann Arbor resident and mother who is insulted that our City Council spent $230k of our tax dollars to fund a biased and unscientific study by a consulting firm of former police officers. The A2 City Council needs to stop wasting time and money and take leadership to establish a police review board that is representative, transparent, independent, empowered, grounded in restorative practices, and adequately funded, and to redirect resources to crucial alternatives to policing. Go to this link http://bit.ly/2jlJMRz to read the 11/16 statement from community members who have formed Transforming Justice Washtenaw to advocate for heart-based and restorative alternatives to policing and incarceration in Washtenaw County.395 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Julie Quiroz

Pass the Fur Ban in San Francisco!The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will be considering a ban on the sale fur in the next few months. Sign the petition to let the Mayor know you support the ban. Together, let’s make fur history! -- Over 50 million animals are exploited and killed for their fur each year. These animals are sentient beings who feel pain, can suffer, and want to live. Mink, foxes, and rabbits are confined in tiny wire cages inside of fur farms where they go insane from boredom, stress, and lack of stimulation. Many are killed in grotesque and brutal ways, including anal and vaginal electrocution. Coyotes and other wild animals are caught in leg-hold traps and suffer slow, agonizing deaths. Practices like these have no place in a progressive city like San Francisco. We are calling on the city to ban the sale of fur, as West Hollywood and Berkeley have already done. There exist numerous alternatives that are equally as warm, better for the environment, and do not require killing animals.1,022 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Direct Action Everywhere
