Because Hakim deserves a chance.

Nelson Pinos has been living in a church on the New Haven green since November 30th. He sleeps on a mattress and box spring on the floor in an administrative office on the 2nd level. Family and friends visit when they can. Nelson is very grateful to the church community for welcoming him, but also acknowledges that being separated from his family is like being in jail. Nelson’s family visits whenever they can. Brandon, Nelson's 5-year-old son, keeps asking why his dad can't leave the church. Brandon has been actively working on perfecting the letter "G" while visiting his dad after school - trying to keep up with the kindergarten homework as best he can. He doesn’t understand why the family can’t wake up together on Christmas morning. Kelly, at 15, is thinking she'll have to get a job to help support the family. Nelson is the sole provider for this family of 5, having worked at the same company for 15 years. Kelly's currently a sophomore in high school, so it will be hard to work and maintain her grades. Supporters have set up a fundraising account to help the family through this difficult time (https://www.youcaring.com/search/go?w=nelson%20pinos). Please sign this petition, and join us as we denounce the injustices of this administration against Nelson’s family and all immigrant families! Please help us get Nelson home. Please tell ICE that we value families. Keep Nelson Home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc2R0EjE7T4 http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Pinos-set-for-deportation-seeks-sanctuary-in-12394791.php https://www.flickr.com/photos/eino_sierpe/albums/72157688117374562

I am starting this petition because Ladarius Jamaal Crenshaw was charged for a murder that he did not commit. As of now, there is no physical evidence that Ladarius Crenshaw is a murderer, only word of mouth. Please sign this petition so that a 22 year old can get home to his 3 year old daughters, family, and music life.

I am starting this petition as a voice for my son. Who was wrongfully convicted. Here is the story On September 23, 2015 my son, Randy Guzman, was sentenced to 35 to life in prison , for Pre Meditated 1st degree murder and attempted murder. On April 13, 2014 Randy along with his girlfriend and two friends were at a local bar in Rancho Cucamonga As they were leaving the bar, there was a younger black homeless man he was 32 years old who approached randys friend was asking for money for a beer The altercation started with the homeless man and friend. A few words were exchanged because the friend didn’t give him no money. Then the homeless man went about his business. 500 feet away was another local pool hall where the real trouble started. The group of 15 white males seen the altercation from across the way and started approaching Randy,s friend who was having the conversation with the homeless guy. As the crowd of males from the other bar arrived to the bar parking lot the homeless man was already gone. These people were clearly looking for trouble. They approached Randy’s friend because they felt the “homeless man needed help”. At this point the homeless man had already walked away from the area. This was two parties that were intoxicated exchanging words as any “BAR RUMBLE”. There was not truth to the story of the crowd helping the homeless man which was stated from other party. It was just a one on one conversation between Randys friend an homeless guy. Stories say a “hero” was the victim, this was a BAR FIGHT, no truth to the newspaper stories. There was no right and wrong here. This was clearly wrong on both parties. As the group from pool hall started engaging with Randy’s friend. Randy, his girlfriend and 1 other friend approached. As I stated above this is 15 people against Randy and friends(3males, 1 female). Back and forth fighting. my son randy got kicked down and knocked his head on the ground. Hi girlfriend helped him up and they all left. End result to this 2 males from pool hall were stabbed. 1 died and 1 lived. The next day my son was arrested with no proof , just bar witness that they seen randy earlier at the bar and seen it was him and friends fighting. Mind you this witness did not state they seen Randy hurt anyone. With no evidence, no videos cameras, no 100% sure witness, no dna, no pre-meditation, yet Randy was convicted to this murder. The police line up was all guys with short hair and no tattoos. And randy has long hair and face tattoos. They needed to put other guys with long hair and face tats. When the police arrived to scene they stated there was around 50 people in parking lot. The man that was stabbed and lived stood on the stand and said he didn’t even know who stabbed him. Every witness who stood up there and spoke stated they weren’t sure. As one witness later on in the trial seem to be schooled by the DA but still never said he was sure Randy Guzman stabbed his friend. Both parties were intoxicated no one was sure who did it. Not once did they let my son go up there and speak on the stand and tell his story. My son wasn’t able to tell his story advised by his attorney. So, this is why Im here to speak for him. It’s never to late. They labeled my son as remorseless human, a danger to society. My son Randy was never in trouble or Violent. My son was a local artist and own a few companies. As you read this you think “yeah yeah every mother is going to say their son wasn’t trouble” but everyone who knew Randy could say the same. He was always giving and helping the community. I have pictures of him with homeless men he would give them shirts. When he was little he always wanted us to give to the homeless and was always taking in homeless dogs too. He sponsored dancing groups for children providing free shirts to the kids. I also have videos of all the kids supporting him. Randy was inspirational to many in our community. He had fans and kids who looked up to him and still do even adults. He gave people hope that they can turn their dreams into reality. My son has a talent and he doesn’t belong being locked up like an animal for something he did not do especially with no proof. This was not pre-meditated, no plots were made against the victims. I will fight and do what I can to help my son get his freedom again. Im not here to bash the other party or anyone, I just want my son home and be able to continue his journey and be home with his son.

I wish to be able to use the internet without the Government being the Gate-keeper of this amazing way to communicate. By having the Gov't take the Net Neutrality away, this also effects Millions of people all over the US and how they communicate or find information.

American Girl supports all types of young girls, even ones with physical disabilities, but they don't support those of us with an invisible disability. I want a doll that is truly like me. I am unable to identify with the other dolls though I do love them dearly. It's time for a change.

President Trump says he wants to broker the “ultimate deal,” a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. But since taking office in January, he and his aides have failed to offer a framework for negotiations, have failed to assert positions that are vital for securing a peace deal, such as sternly opposing settlement construction, and have refused to endorse the only viable formula for a deal: the two-state solution. Not only has Trump failed to adopt or advance the two-state solution. He won’t even publicly say “two states.” Successive U.S. administrations, Republican and Democratic, have recognized that the two-state solution is the only feasible way to resolve the conflict. They therefore made the two-state solution America’s official policy – a key position guiding U.S. policy in the Middle East – for over 15 years. The two-state solution has become a matter of consensus in the region and internationally. The parties, under their own successive leaderships, have committed to this vision and negotiated to realize it. For the Trump Administration to eschew it is disastrous. Extremists on both sides have been trying to discredit the two-state vision since it was internationally adopted. Now they have a partner in the White House. President Trump, don’t play into the hands of the anti-peace extremists. We call on you to endorse the two-state solution. Say two states!

Farmers are destroying precious habitat for small woodland animals. They rip out fence lines that border crop fields. These fence lines are valuable habitats for rabbits, squirrels, bobwhite quail, and other various species of birds. Deer will follow fence lines when travelling from one woods to the next. If these animals do not have these fence lines they will decrease in numbers from lack of shelter and food. Not only do these fence lines shelter animals but they also shelter our own homes from the winter wind, dust, and other various forms of mother nature that could be damaging to our homes and persons. All just for a few more rows of crops! Most of these farmers do not own these lands but they lease them to farm them, and the landowners do not understand all the destruction these farmers are doing to the land and the animals.

This petition comes from the SE MN Alliance of Peacemakers to persuade President Trump to lower the threat of a nuclear confrontation. He has the power to reset the dialog with world leaders, especially Kim Jong-un.

A Norbest turkey is being pardoned in the days before Thanksgiving, but in light of the sickening abuse exposed in a DxE investigation, the company CEO should pardon ALL the turkeys. Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated a Norbest farm in Utah and found sick animals being trampled and eaten alive. One of the largest turkey suppliers in the nation, Norbest touts its practices as “humane, with the health and comfort of the birds of paramount importance.” But DxE’s Open Rescue team found sickening cruelty. UPDATE: Norbest claims it is suspending operations at the farm DxE investigated, but we need your help to show them that ALL turkey farming is cruel. DxE found records showing hepatitis in the farm, as well as birds with massive tumors on their faces. Investigators saw live birds being ripped apart to pieces in the crowded, filthy locations and baby birds with their faces and toes cut off. While investigating the farm, DxE’s open rescue team saw Abby and immediately recognized that she urgently needed medical care - Abby was dragging herself across the farm with a crooked neck. Activists rushed her to receive veterinary care and, today, Abby lives happily at a sanctuary. While Abby is safe from harm, millions of other turkeys are suffering a horrific fate. Sign the petition and ask Norbest to cut ties with all animal-abusing suppliers. NorbestCruelty.com
