On Saturday, January 3, the United States conducted a military strike against Venezuela and captured its president, President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.  President Trump said in a press conference that the U.S. will "run" Venezuela on a temporary basis during the transition, and "get the oil flowing." Trump wants to “run” Venezuela when our own citizens cannot even afford groceries, rent, and healthcare?   Americans have seen this before in Iraq and Afghanistan and we have paid the price - getting sucked into expensive forever wars that cost the lives of our brave soldiers and countless civilians.  These actions put American security, safety, and taxpayer dollars at risk and are unacceptable. Congress must take action to prioritize the most pre-eminent crises in America.  Sign now to tell Congress and the President: No US Occupation of Venezuela!

Pearson-iPads and MiSiS messes are distracting LAUSD from providing an education to students. 1. Release the emails and the Inspector General Report for public scrutiny. 2. Seek an external audit to determine what went so terribly wrong and to prevent a repeat. 3. Meanwhile, get back to work providing students with an education and giving teachers and principals what they need to get the job done.

Now that Mueller has indicted people associated with the Trump campaign, I am afraid Trump will fire him before the investigation is finished. Please pass legislation protecting Mueller, so that his investigation can continue free of harassment.

Everyone in Jersey City should be treated with dignity by police officers. That simple standard will build trust between our officers and our community. To turn that phrase into reality--to build that trust--Jersey City must take action: creating an independent, people-rooted Jersey City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) with subpoena, disciplinary, and investigatory powers. To truly create change, it must be a CCRB: Whose investigatory freedom includes real subpoena power. Whose members are nominated by proven, independent Jersey City community organizations: groups who answer to people, not politics. Whose recommendations will spark guaranteed disciplinary followthrough. Whose budget is protected from retaliation through funding cuts Whose explicit trigger mechanism allows Jersey City to swing into immediate action when State officials pass their own law explicitly granting subpoena power to municipal civilian review boards across New Jersey. Whose public accessibility and accountability is clearly defined through mandatory, equity-centered reporting requirements.
