As somebody who struggles with mental health issues, the concept of a police officer refusing to try to understand when somebody is going through something is utterly terrifying, especially when taking into account how stigmatized certain disorders are.
Cydney supported: Reprimand Sheriff Deputy Mark Heberlig of Houston County GAThis has to be a law. A child gets S/Aed every HALF AN HOUR in Congo. It genuinely breaks my heart to see these statistics knowing that every 30 minutes people suffer. My sister was raped by her best friend about 4 years ago. I'm 12. I'm going through puberty. I already make a lot of mistakes and with puberty that amount is only going to be doubled. And I'm scared that if I make too big of a mistake, that this will happen to me too. Sincerely, Connor.
Connor supported: Gracie Sassos Law: Implement Lifetime Sentences for Convicted Sex OffendersI’m a high school senior right now who’s doing a fellowship under the W.O.W. Project, whose main focus is to advocate for Chinatown’s gentrification and the mega jail project. Through this fellowship, I’ve got to engage in discussions about the history of NYC Chinatown and the voices of Asian American immigrants who settled here, and I am here to fight for their voices to be heard and for this mega jail project to be dismantled. The construction would severely impact not only the lives of those currently living in Chinatown, but future generations as well. Please, Major Eric Adam’s, I urge you to stop this project and protect my people. Your people. Our people.
andy supported: Stop the Mega Jail in Chinatown!There are so many elders that do not need to be living right next to a superplaza of criminals. This jail is being paid by old people, poor people, and those that can’t afford 70k for ONE inmate a year. It’s unfair to place such a ginormous criminal facility in such a homely and vulnerable environment. Chinatown is filled with nostalgia, memories, and respectful people. Do not place such a dangerous facility in the heart of a home for so many.
Fay supported: Stop the Mega Jail in Chinatown!this megajail displaces our community, erases our culture, and prioritizes punishment over people. we deserve investment, not incarceration.
