The victims of budget cuts are often the youth and poor. Restoring FAFSA funding back to its old 18 semester coverage is restoring opportunity.

Say NO to Rep. Czaja's proposal to eliminating degree requirements for people teaching non-core subjects. Keep Wisconsin Schools strong by promoting high standards for all of l;our Educators. Wisconsin has had one of the top Education programs in the United States leading with Graduation rates, ACT scores, AP classes as well as many more programs that are excellent. PLEASE vote NO on lowering any standards for our Teachers.

Pursuant to Washington State Supreme Court Order No. 84362-7, if the Washington State Legislature has not complied to fully fund K-12 education at the end of their 2015 legislative session, we ask the Supreme Court to place the legislature in lockdown in their House and Senate Chambers until such time that they comply.

The August 24th fossil fuel auction in the New Orleans Superdome comes on the heels of one of the worst climate disasters since Superstorm Sandy--unprecedented "1,000 year" floods in Louisiana. It's unconscionable and unacceptable to let it move forward.

I hear a really good lawyer’s calendar might be opening up.  This petition is to ask Kamala Harris, with Democracy Docket’s Marc E. Elias to advise and to represent The People in a civil class action lawsuit against the organization that wrote Trump’s Policy Plan to end women’s and LGBTQIA rights, to deport millions of legal immigrants on pathways to citizenship because of the colors of their skin, and all the other atrocities that 900+ page assault on our rights bring to our nation.  Please Madam, Kamala Harris, we recognize you are not a civil litigation lawyer but, you are the voice of the people and we ask you to hear the cry of the people who ardently supported you, when we ask you to represent us against the plan to subjugate our rights and manipulate our lives while they take apart our democracy with their treason and hate. 

As a part of the Latino community, I feel like we are all getting ignored by this school. We need to speak up for our people and keep our families safe. 

Demand the House and Senate take 25% pay cuts immediately, reduce their pensions and medical. Why should they be comfortable when the rest of the citizens are feeling the pinch. And besides, they have done nothing but line their own pockets, while protecting their own special interests.

 Prentice Ponds is 100% innocent — yet he’s serving Life + 25 Years in Oklahoma for a crime that never happened, based on a faulty arrest, illegal court process, and evidence that was ignored. We Demand Full Exoneration for Prentice Ponds — A Man Wrongfully Convicted We, the undersigned, call upon state officials and the justice system of Oklahoma to immediately exonerate Prentice Eugene Ponds II, a man who has spent years in prison for crimes he did not commit. Prentice Ponds is absolutely innocent. He was wrongfully convicted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and sentenced to life plus 25 years for crimes stemming from a 2015 incident in which he was, in truth, the victim. After a car insurance claim turned into an aggressive and suspicious home encounter with an insurance adjuster, Ponds acted in self-defense inside his own home. Instead of being treated fairly, he was charged with  • Robbery by Force or Fear • Insurance Fraud In 2015, Mr. Ponds lawfully exercised his right to self-defense inside his own home. After a hostile confrontation with an aggressive insurance adjuster — during a visit related to a routine car claim — Ponds protected himself and called the police. No items were stolen. No deadly force was used. This defies all logic and contradicts Oklahoma’s own “Stand Your Ground” law, which grants every citizen the right to protect themselves from aggression without the duty to retreat, especially in their own residence. This Is Not a Technicality. It’s a Miscarriage of Justice. • ✅ He acted within his legal rights under state self-defense laws. • ✅ He called the police himself after the incident — not something a guilty person does. • ✅ There was no theft, and no credible evidence of intent to rob. • ✅ The judge had a conflict of interest due to ties to the State Insurance Fund • ✅ He has maintained his innocence from day one. Prentice himself called the police using his alarm system, offered water and towels to the man, and documented the incident with photos. Nobody was arrested. No charges were filed. Months later, they charged him — which had been dismissed in 2015 — were suddenly refiled using the same probable cause affidavit!!!.  To secure a conviction, the State: • Used a probable cause affidavit filed in a county with no jurisdiction • Seated a juror who spoke 20% of English, violating Prentice’s right to a fair trial • Allowed a judge to sentence him despite a conflict of interest — she and the freelance investigator worked under the same umbrella company • Refused to consider photo evidence from the defense • Allowed Prentice’s past record, not the facts of the case, to enhance the sentence to Life + 25 years This is not justice. This is how innocent people are buried in the system. Why Exoneration Is Just and Urgent • No evidence of theft: The adjuster's belongings were pictured at the scene—not stolen. • He called the police himself: Innocent behavior inconsistent with guilt. • Self-defense inside his own home: Ponds was confronted and acted to protect himself. The insurance adjuster refused a paramedic and NO arrests were made!!! • Judicial conflict of interest: The judge had undisclosed ties to the State Insurance Fund—clear grounds for recusal. • Ineffective counsel and appellate barriers: His appeals have been denied  not based on the facts. The law is clear!!
