Free Speech for Palestine! I am a Jew against Genocide of Palestinians and support of Palestine is not anti-semitism!
Donna supported: Protect Student Protesters—Free Mohsen MahdawiMohsen has made a personal commitment to work for a peaceful resolution for Israel Palestine, one that respects the dignity of all. He has been actively doing so by pursuing studies in both Philosophy and International Studies, as well as ongoing conversations with Jewish and Israeli students, all in the name of better understanding each other and working towards a peaceful future for their people. He is not promoting hate or division in any way shape or form. His detention and attempted abduction is misguided, unlawful and morally indefensible. Our shared survival rests on our ability to recognize and honor our shared humanity. Mohsen knows and lives this truth.
Cecilia supported: Protect Student Protesters—Free Mohsen MahdawiUniversities are meant to be places where ideas are shared and debated. Mohsen Mahdawi and others have been punished for speaking up in defense of Palestinians in an unjust occupation and attack. We need to hear more voices like theirs, not fewer.
Courtenay supported: Protect Student Protesters—Free Mohsen MahdawiIt is heart breaking to see great and caring people deported for none other than the fact they were not blessed to be born here. The diversity of this country is what has made us great. All of us comes from an immigrant who came here for a better life. Deport criminals. Not good citizens. Give them a path way to citizenship. And honor our commitment.
Lisha supported: Reunite the Gonzalez Family: Grant Humanitarian Parole!NOT in my name! These are not the acts that represent my values nor the values of the country I love. These illegal and unethical acts are not representative of an America which respects the rights of ALL those arriving on our shores. This reprehensible treatment of innocent travelers, citizens, and residents must cease, immediately.
Joan supported: Demand an End to Inhumane Border Tactics!This is wrong, and people in my area are being stopped, treated like criminals, and ripped away from due process as green card and visa holders.
Colleen supported: Demand an End to Inhumane Border Tactics!I have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
William supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesMy son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
From a loving autistic mom.
