  • Doula Training to Reduce Maternal Mortality Among African American Women in Georgia
    The Georgia Department of Public Health and the Georgia Board of Public Health are charged with safeguarding the health of all residents, yet maternal mortality among African American women in Georgia remains a persistent and preventable crisis. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black women in the United States are approximately 2.6 to 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. In Georgia, the disparity is even more alarming. Reports from the Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee indicate that Black women account for a disproportionate share of pregnancy-related deaths, and over 60% of these deaths are deemed preventable. These statistics highlight an urgent need for targeted, evidence-based interventions that address both clinical and systemic contributors to maternal mortality. One of the most effective strategies to improve maternal outcomes is the integration of doulas into the perinatal care system. Doulas provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. A landmark review by Cochrane Collaboration found that individuals who received continuous labor support, including from doulas, were 25% less likely to have a cesarean birth, 31% less likely to report dissatisfaction with their birth experience, and had shorter labor durations. These improved outcomes are critical, as cesarean deliveries and unmanaged complications are significant contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality. The need for doula support is especially critical for African American women, who often face systemic barriers within healthcare settings. Studies have shown that Black women are more likely to experience delayed diagnoses, have their symptoms dismissed, and receive lower-quality care due to implicit bias. Doulas can serve as advocates, helping ensure that clients’ concerns are heard and addressed promptly. This advocacy is not trivial—delays in treatment and lack of responsiveness are key factors identified in maternal death reviews. By providing continuous support, doulas can help reduce these risks and improve communication between patients and providers. In addition to improving health outcomes, doula programs are cost-effective. Research suggests that widespread doula support could reduce preterm births and cesarean rates enough to save millions in healthcare costs annually. Medicaid, which finances nearly half of all births in Georgia, would particularly benefit from these savings. States that have begun covering doula services under Medicaid have demonstrated both improved outcomes and reduced expenditures, signaling a viable model for Georgia to follow. Importantly, a state-funded doula training program would allow Georgia to build a culturally competent workforce drawn from the communities most affected by maternal mortality. Training African American doulas to serve African American mothers can significantly improve trust, communication, and patient satisfaction. Cultural concordance between provider and patient has been linked to better adherence to medical advice and more positive health experiences, which are essential factors in reducing disparities. Despite the clear evidence, access to doula services remains limited, particularly for low-income and marginalized populations. Without state investment, many of the women who could benefit most from doula support are unable to afford it. By funding and implementing a statewide doula training and certification program, the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Georgia Board of Public Health can directly address this gap in care. The data is unequivocal: maternal mortality among African American women is both disproportionately high and largely preventable. Doulas offer a proven, cost-effective intervention that addresses many of the root causes of this crisis, including lack of advocacy, poor communication, and systemic bias. Georgia has the opportunity—and the responsibility—to act. Investing in a doula training program is not only a public health imperative, but a necessary step toward achieving equity, saving lives, and strengthening families across the state.

  • Tell Congress: Pass Articles of Impeachment to Remove Pete Hegseth!
    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has helped initiate and escalate an unauthorized war that endangered U.S. servicemembers, violated the law of armed conflict, recklessly harmed and endangered civilians, and negligently handled sensitive military information. He has also obstructed congressional oversight, abused his power by politicizing the U.S. armed forces, and engaged in conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces. Hegseth is unfit to serve, and I urge you to pass articles of impeachment to remove him from office immediately.

  • Stop HB5511: Don’t Make Apple, Google and Microsoft Control Our Internet Access
    To the Illinois State Legislature and Governor JB Pritzker: We all want to keep children safe online. But House Bill 5511 (The Children’s Social Media Safety Act) creates a dangerous paradox: In an effort to protect children, it risks exposing every family in Illinois to new privacy and security threats. The Problem: A Privacy Risk Disguised as Safety HB5511 shifts age verification into the core of your device, through operating systems and app stores run by companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. In practice, this could mean: More identity checks tied to your devices Users may be required to verify their age at the device or account level, potentially using government-issued ID, financial data, or other personal information. A growing target for hackers and fraud Centralizing sensitive identity data across large platforms increases the potential impact of data breaches, scams, and identity theft. Expanded tracking of household activity When devices, accounts, and users are linked together, it creates the potential for broader visibility into how families use the internet, including shared devices used for school, work, and personal use. A coalition of 438 scientists, security researchers, and technologists from 32 countries has warned lawmakers about these risks. They conclude that large-scale age verification systems can increase privacy and security risks, are often easy to bypass, and may do more harm than good, especially when they rely on widespread collection of personal data. https://csa-scientist-open-letter.org/ageverif-Feb2026 The Solution: A Safer, Smarter Approach We are asking Illinois lawmakers to remove operating system and app store age verification requirements from HB5511 and take time to consider safer alternatives. One example is the RAVE model (Age Verification Number), which: ● Minimizes data exposure Uses existing records held by the Illinois Secretary of State to verify age without requiring users to share documents with multiple corporations. ● Reduces risk Avoids creating new databases of sensitive personal information across private platforms. ● Improves accountability Keeps verification within a system that is subject to public oversight and state-level privacy protections. https://av4il.com/ Our Demand We call on the Illinois General Assembly and the Governor to: •  Remove the mandate for operating system and app store age verification  •  Pause implementation to fully assess privacy, security, and child safety risks  •  Pursue privacy-first alternatives that protect children without expanding identity exposure  Closing We all share the same goal: protecting children online. But we must do it in a way that does not increase the risk of identity theft, expand data collection, or create new vulnerabilities for families. Protect children without putting their privacy, and their future, at risk.

  • Drop lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center and stop politically motivated attacks
    The Trump administration is ramping up its attacks on civil rights groups—now indicting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a racial justice organization based in the South that has been working for more than 50 years to build a society where Black and Brown communities can thrive.  Trump has weaponized the Department of Justice (DOJ) to indict SPLC on bogus charges related to their now defunct “informant program,” which was used to gather critical intelligence on extremist groups.  This indictment is a blatant attack on our rights and the organizations and leaders who work to protect everyday people from hate and discrimination. We're calling this what it is: retaliation. Demand the DOJ drop these charges against the SPLC and stop their politically motivated attacks on organizations and leaders.

  • Petition for the Recognition of Wild Tending as a Public Right
    We, the undersigned, stand in support of recognizing the fundamental right of individuals to participate in the living systems that sustain life.    Across public lands in the United States, a contradiction exists:    Activities that extract, degrade, or commercially utilize land are permitted under regulated systems, while individuals who act independently to restore, regenerate, or contribute to ecological function can face criminal charges.    This contradiction reflects a deeper issue.. not of land management, but of disconnection.    At present, there is no clear path for individuals to directly contribute to the function of ecosystems through everyday participation. Conservation and restoration, as they currently exist, are primarily reactive—addressing damage after it occurs—rather than supporting continuous, place-based stewardship.    We believe this must change.    We define “wild tending” as the active, place-based participation in supporting the health, diversity, and function of living ecosystems.    This includes actions such as:  - Encouraging native food systems   - Supporting biodiversity through seed dispersal and plant cultivation   - Engaging with land in ways that increase ecological resilience over time     These actions are not acts of destruction. They are acts of participation in life itself.    We call for the following:    1. Legal Recognition of Wild Tending      Establish a lawful framework that distinguishes regenerative ecological actions from destructive land use.    2. Protection for Beneficial Ecological Activity      Ensure that individuals engaging in demonstrably beneficial land-based practices are not subject to criminal prosecution.    3. Integration of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)      Recognize and respect knowledge systems rooted in long-standing relationships with the land, including Indigenous practices that prioritize reciprocity and function.    4. Public Access to Participation      Affirm that public lands are not only for recreation or resource use, but also for responsible, informed participation in sustaining life systems.

  • Bring Back Royale High Campus 4.2!
    Royale High Campus 4.2 was a beloved part of the game that many players still miss and offered a specific atmosphere, design, and gameplay experience that newer updates just haven’t fully replaced in the current campus. For a lot of us, it was a map where we spent hours exploring, roleplaying, and connecting with other players. It was quite the shock when Royale High decided to remove it overnight without a full explanation. We’re asking the Royale High development team to consider bringing back Campus 4.2, whether as a permanent option, a limited-time feature, or even a toggleable legacy campus.

  • Save the Post Office at Michaels Hallmark!
    Dear United States Postmaster General, Re: Closure of Post Office at 1219 South Mary Avenue, Sunnvale, CA 94087 We, the neighbors in Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Mountain View, and Los Altos use the Post Office in Michael's Hallmark store regularly.  It's an easy place to buy stamps, get supplies, but mostly to send packages and special mail deliveries.   The large post offices in our areas are always crowded and can take hours to get services done. In Michaels, we get a chance to shop while we wait in line and often run into someone we know.   The post office is for the people of the surrounding area. It's not for the big businesses.  It's been a mainstay in our community and is always the go to for postal services. It would be a huge disservice to take that away from us. Please reconsider closing this location.   Thank you.

  • MORATORIUM ON SALES in the 710 CORRIDOR
    Caltrans Tenants in El Sereno, South Pasadena, and Pasadena are calling on the legislature to announce an immediate moratorium on sales in the 710 Corridor.  The introduction of AB2329 (Fong) proposes much-needed clarifications to Roberti Act home prices, as well as the priorities and mechanisms for sale. While this will undoubtedly improve outcomes for tenant-purchasers in 2027, many tenants are facing deadlines NOW, in the spring and summer of 2026.  These are tenants with serious concerns about signing contracts and making financial commitments while pending legislation may actually change the pricing, terms, and procedures in a matter of nine months.  Simultaneously, the legislative process is taking place under the shadow of a California State Audit of the 710 sales program, which was requested after widespread allegations of substandard accounting, inspections, contracting, and appraisal reported by tenant-purchasers. While the audit will continue for at least the next six months, tenants are experiencing these illicit practices NOW.  We respectfully but urgently request a pause, to protect tenants and to give the state an opportunity to put the sales program on a proper, equitable path towards completion.

  • Remove Trump from office NOW
    Calling for the annihilation of Iran – an entire civilization of 90 million human beings – isn’t normal. Trying to turn this country into a dictatorship – where one man rules by his word alone, where government becomes a weapon against its own people, and free and fair elections are just another inconvenience – is not normal. Losing track of basic facts and being unable to speak coherently on a single topic for more than a few minutes is not normal. We demand the Cabinet and Vice President invoke the 25th Amendment NOW to remove Trump from office – and if they refuse, Congress must step in and immediately impeach and remove President Trump from office.
