The recent anti-gay laws and violence throughout Russia are appalling. Terre Haute can and should send a message: we value and cherish our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender residents and will not tolerate discrimination against our LGBT brothers and sisters by a sister city. Now is the time for us to act. Please immediately pass a resolution suspending the "sister-city" relationship between Terre Haute and Tambov, Russia.

Our names are Peter and Estifanos and we are leaders from the Montgomery County Professional Driver Union and Prince George's County Taxi Work Alliance, NTWA, AFL-CIO. We are cab drivers and we get fingerprinted because drivers serve the public. There are more than 10,000 licensed professional drivers in Maryland and all of us are required to get fingerprints under state regulations. Uber and Lyft are not fingerprinting their drivers and the public is at risk. Sadly, there have been several criminal incidents involving people who drive for Uber, including a recent kidnapping and sexual assault (links below.) Right now, the Maryland Public Services Commission is considering giving Uber and Lyft a waiver on legally required background checks. Please join me in telling them that we shouldn’t take chances when it comes to passenger safety. A level playing field keeps us all safe. ~Peter and Estifanos

Dear Members of the Alaska Legislature, We are writing to express our strong opinion as citizens of Alaska that H.B. 80, introduced by Rep. Mark Neuman (R), does not become law in our state. In light of the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida and the controversy surrounding the rights of George Zimmerman to have used the force that he did in the situation he created, we should not be moving towards expanding such laws in our state. Alaskans already have a broad right to self-defense. Rep. Neuman's bill would only give more rights to criminals, making it harder to prove manslaughter or murder charges. Instead we should be finding ways to make our communities and all of the people who live in Alaska safer. Please reject H.B. 80. We Stand Our Ground to move towards caring for humanity, not creating an environment that divides and frightens. Sincerely, Concerned Citizens of the State of Alaska

Dear Mayor Arreguín and City Council members, We are devastated by the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many others at the hands of the police across our country and the state violence against Black people generally. Cities such as Los Angeles and Minneapolis have called to scale back the police department budget and reinvest those funds in health, educational and social services that serve Berkeley's Black communities. I urge you to do the same. The time to make large scale institutional changes like this is now. Reform is not enough. Studies cited in this article demonstrate that anti-bias training and other similar reforms will not make a significant impact on police brutality: https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/defund-police-protest/?fbclid=IwAR2NxSXsJsb535bnW5c3yAryGeZTzcKrQz1tgyz8RsXS9fCzwSS03jBYQ1g Berkeley is well-known for its leadership on progressive issues. We urge you to take a proactive stance on police brutality by cutting funding to the police department and reinvesting it in Black communities.

It's time to finally take responsibility and resign.
