Ayanna: letter to President Joe Biden

 

Justice Democrats

Black,

Representative Cori Bush and I, in partnership with dozens of our House colleagues, recently sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to commute every single federal death sentence and abolish the death penalty once and for all.

Will you add your name right now to our petition to Joe Biden calling on him to commute every federal death sentence and abolish the death penalty?

Every signature will be sent to President Biden’s team, so your voice will make a difference.

Add Your Name

Our criminal INJUSTICE system is racist, xenophobic, rogue, and fundamentally broken. State-sanctioned murder is not justice, and it never will be.

President Biden has the power and moral authority to act: he can commute the sentences of every person who is currently sentenced to death under federal law and finally end the death penalty once and for all.

Together we will make sure that no more Americans are condemned to die at the hands of our criminal injustice system.

Add your name next to mine and Cori’s, and call on President Biden to commute all federal death sentences right now.

Thank you for making your voice heard with me today.

In solidarity,

Ayanna Pressley

we need to amp up the pressure on Senate Democrats

Image
Black Independent Party, When asked recently about passing H.R. 1/S. 1, the historic voting rights legislation in Congress (also known as the For The People Act), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said this: “I would say the deadline for S. 1 is …   probably by August   or so. We’re consulting with experts. When is the latest that S. 1 can undo some of the despicable and frankly racist changes that some of these Republican legislatures have made?” That’s not only a deadline for passing critical voting protections for the entire country; it’s a deadline for getting rid of the filibuster   — because we can’t pass S. 1 through the Senate without doing away with the archaic, racist filibuster. Justice Democrats has been working hard with progressive lawmakers and groups like Sunrise Movement to end the filibuster. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and several other Democrats have voiced support for getting rid of it. But the clock is ticking, and we need to amp up...

Rand: Fix America

GOP .com Robert, We’ve had enough. President Obama's big-government spending sprees in Washington are now threatening America's economic stability and freedom. It’s time to rein it in. And it’s time your voice is heard. We want to know  your  thoughts: how would you like to see us fix the debt and spending crisis in Washington? Share your solution today—and you could have a chance to discuss your proposal over lunch with Chairman Reince Priebus, Congressman Paul Ryan and me. You know better than any liberal Washington bureaucrat what it takes to cut spending, reduce the deficit and balance the budget. You do it every day in your own home or business. You don’t spend more than you have—and neither should our government. The big government’s unsustainable, reckless spending addiction has caused our national debt to increase by 65% under President Obama, and it also has caused the size of our government to grow by more than 100% in the past decade, according to th...

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

Image
robert - Since we started our campaign to elevate the voices of veterans who support a diplomacy-first approach with Iran, over 20,000 men and women who have worn our country's uniform have added their names in support. Today, I want to share a few of their stories with you, and to let you know that in the next few weeks, we're going to be flying almost two dozen veterans and military family members out the nation's capital to make their voices heard loud and clear. Contribute $3 to help VoteVets bring these veterans to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Democratic representatives we need to hold the line ahead of the vote on the Iran deal later this month. Dennis, an Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran (Afghanistan) wrote in that  "The alternative is an eventual war, again, in the Middle East." Matt, an Iraq War Veteran from Colorado added,  "Based on my experience in Iraq, I feel that diplomacy is a better path than military action in southwest Asia ... Vo...

The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...
