Dear Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, You must do everything possible now to nip the normalization of hate in the bud. Speak out now and condemn racism, misogyny, sexism, violence and all forms of hate, making clear that this type of behavior has no place in our country.

This petition is regarding the upcoming Grand Jury hearing in the case of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., an unarmed elderly black citizen who was shot to death by the White Plains Police Department. This case not only brings into question the policies and practices of this department; but it is an open question whether it was inevitable, particularly in light of the audio tapes and video tapes witnessed by Mr. Chamberlain’s family members and attorneys where racial slurs and expletives were used before ultimately shooting him twice in the chest and killing him. It is imperative that those tapes be made available to the Grand Jury, and that all other evidence be presented as well. I am concerned that secrecy so far--for example, the names of officers involved have not been released--bodes badly for transparency in this case as it moves forward. Nor am I aware of any public statements about the case from elected officials calling for openness. Members of Mr. Chamberlain’s family and community--and a much wider circle of people who need to know there is fairness in the criminal justice system--seek reassurance that, no matter what the verdict, the process has been open, honest, and just. We, the undersigned, implore Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore to no longer allow police misconduct, brutality, or criminality to happen in this community and ask that these officers be indicted and charged with murder and civil rights violations.

Support the Beaucatcher Greenway. Do not derail its progress by cutting funding or delaying plans that have been years in the making.

Child pornography, racism, and xenophobia do not belong in our state legislature. Do the right thing and vote to expel Rep. David Stringer from the Arizona House of Representatives.

We urge you to make the Senate more welcoming to Senators who are new parents, by allowing these Senators to take paid family leave and not be physically present for votes, and to bring their babies to the floor within the first year of the child’s life.

This is about FREEDOM and being part of a SANE SOCIETY!

As the Commission members are aware, their mission is to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety of the nation’s nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants, especially old nukes, such as the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, do not belong near densely populated regions, in areas where earthquakes are a dangerous geological reality.

We are asking German Chancellor Merkel and all decision-makers with her to reduce Greece's debt in the interest of adjusting/relieving some of the extreme austerity put upon the People of Greece. Such restructuring is also in the interest of giving sustainability to Greece's suffering economy, which in turn may further stabilize the European Union.

Cesar Vargas doesn't need “rehabilitation” for speaking up for his family and community. Cesar is a prominent leader in the immigrant rights movement. He is about to make legal history as the first undocumented lawyer in the state of New York. He doesn’t need rehabilitation for standing up to Steve King, Citizen’s United, and Chris Christie when they attacked his family. He needs to start practicing law so that he can continue his fight for family and his community.

We, the undersigned, demand you retract your deplorable email asking eBay members to contact their members of Congress, asking them to vote yes on Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) also known as Fast Track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and other so-called free trade agreements.
