Save Wade Wilson from the Death PenaltySTOP THE EXECUTION of Wade Wilson 🙏🏻I am starting this petition because I am a firm believer in the potential for rehabilitation, I urgently implore our legal system to reconsider the death penalty sentence for Wade Wilson. My strong conviction against capital punishment stems from the belief that everyone deserves a second chance. It's a belief rooted in the potential for human change and growth. IF Wade is not granted a new trial or acquittal, I request that rather than executing Wade Wilson, he should be sentenced to life in prison where he has can seek redemption for past mistakes, and even help others avoid the same path. I went to school with a young man who had severe mental issues and was into hard drugs, he killed someone and was sentenced to many years in prison. He took that time to educate himself with the bible, and read nothing but self help books. He used the time to think about the severity of what had happened and due to being allowed prison instead of execution...he changed. He is forever remorseful and was actually allowed to be free again due to the obvious change he exhibited. He is now a married man with children who guides youth on the dangers of drugs and heading down a wrong path. So as a result, he has actually helped many from making the same mistakes he did. People CAN change. People deserve second chances at life-even if it is behind bars. I personally believe that Wade has been wrongfully convicted and should be granted a new trial or acquittal as requested. There are so many inconsistencies in this case and a lot has been based off of slanderous hearsay testimonies. There seem to be a lot of missing pieces and I believe there is more to this case than we know. Something is off and NONE of it points to premeditation. Wade suffers from severe mental issues that were brushed off during the trial. He has had many head injuries in his lifetime including car accidents, sporting injuries and being jumped by three inmates which is documented. His lawyer is asking for the sentencing date to be postponed so that four mental health doctors may do the appropriate testing to evaluate him and report the results at the Spencer hearing. Wade deserves a fair trial with all the facts. A lot of Wade's youth he had an altered state of mind due to hard and hallucinogenic drugs. He was a lost, young 25 year old when he was taken into custody. He was on the wrong path, yes but people are human and we all make mistakes that we wish we could undo. People want to villainize Wade Wilson but Wade is a kind person with a big heart and anyone who truly knows him knows this. He is not a monster like hes been depicted to be. He's a friend, a father and a person whose LIFE MATTERS. Wade is a human being with air in his lungs and a beating heart. Someone with feelings. A boy in a mans body who loves to laugh. Who only just ever wanted to be treated kindly and loved. I understand that there are consequences when one breaks the law, but execution is an irrevocable act. Only God knows the truth and only God can judge. Executing him is murder. Its taking the life of a human being, which is exactly what hes being accused of doing. Killing Wade is WRONG. Murder is murder, regardless of if one thinks its justified. Executing him and in such an inhumane and excruciating way or at all is not the answer. No one should have the option to end someones life specially when there have been so many people wrongfully sentenced to death row and death. 200 people have been exonerated in the United States, meaning they were wrongfully sentenced to death. Most of those were in FLORIDA. 30 cases to be exact. Something is really wrong here. People need to take a long hard look if they want change in the system. It starts with caring about what happens to people in our criminal justice system. There are people who have committed insanely brutal premeditated murder of children and worse and they were given life in prison. So why is Wade Wilson being recommended for Capital Punishment? When he clearly has mental issues and should be treated for them in prison, not executed. There are a lot of outlandish stories and slander being created through social media that has turned this case into a circus. You can't believe everything you hear. A lot of people are trying to gain fame and money using Wade's name and saying anything they choose without any evidence supporting any of it. Those doing this should be ashamed that they are wishing to condemn someone to their death for their own personal gain. I fear that Wade is being used as an example since his case has become so high profile and publicized. The thing is, the majority of the general public does NOT want Wade Wilson executed. As far as people saying Wade Wilson looked cold at the trial and sentencing recommendation, that is just not true. People have to understand that if he shows emotion, he gets attacked my inmates in jail for weakness and he DID show emotion, people just want to see the villain they've been convinced he is. Not the true person sitting there struggling to swallow. He is in survival mode, scared for his life. No one knows what goes on behind those jail walls. Anyone who studies body language at all, witnessed Wade Wilson hyperventilating as the jurors made their recommendations. We watched a young, scared man trying to keep his composure and fighting back tears. He could barely catch his breath. I also believe Wade got his tattoos that have caused so much of an uproar for for protection. It is common knowledge he was attacked by three inmates in jail. Tattoos are irrelevant and today's youth is covered in them. I would like to touch on the fact that there was a very recent change in the Death Penalty Law in 2023. When Wade Wilson was arrested in 2019, unanimity of a vote from the jury was the standing law. In an extraordinary event, the rules were changed midway during his prosecution. I believe this is unjust and contradictory to the principles upon which our justice system was built. This unsettling change has prompted an URGENT need for a reevaluation of his case and of it's sentencing. Consider this: according to Amnesty International, as of 2020, 106 countries have abolished the death penalty in law for all crimes, recognizing it as a cruel and inhumane punishment (Amnesty International, 2020). Moreover, research from the National Academy of Sciences reveals that at least 4.1% of defendants sentenced to death in the US are innocent (National Academy of Sciences, 2014), thus emphasizing the importance of utmost caution when assigning such irreversible sentences. Let's strive to consider alternatives - such as life imprisonment - that respect the sanctity of life while ensuring justice is served. All I I am asking is that the Honorable Judge Nicholas Thompson has compassion and mercy for this human life. Death is not the answer. I beg of you, allow Wade Wilson to live. A lifetime in prison is a torturous punishment as well, as I understand justice will be served for the accused. So if it must be one or the other, PLEASE sentence him to PRISON not execution. Taking Wade's life doesn't just affect Wade. It affects the tremendous amount of people who care for him, Mothers who would never wish this on their sons, as well as the millions of people who are strongly against Capital Punishment, as it is cruel and inhumane. Wade's children are going to want to talk to their Dad as they grow up and him being executed will just cause pain and trauma to them and so many individuals who do NOT wish death for him. There are some that wish this, but there are a lot more than DO NOT. There are two petitions on Change.Org currently asking that Wade be saved from the Death Penalty and allowed to live behind prison bars, not on death row ultimately meeting an excruciating fate. As of today, 7/18/24 this petition has 5,000 signatures and the other petition has 9,000. That's already a total of 14,000 people who are begging for Wade to live and the signatures are coming in by the thousands each day. The majority of the general public worldwide do NOT wish death upon Wade Wilson. Let Him Live His Life Matters To those of you viewing this petition, please be a part of this urgent call to prevent the execution of Wade Wilson. Your signature can make a difference. Sign now to express your support. Every signature counts. Hate comments will be removed. Thank you to everyone coming together to take a stand to save Wade Wilson’s life. Signing, sharing, commenting, donating all help push this cause to more people. Let's keep fighting to save Wade Wilson from being wrongfully sentenced!

Ensure Immediate Access to Insulin for Kejriwal and Protect His Basic Medical Rights!Who is Arvind Kejriwal ? Arvind Kejriwal, an Indian politician and graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, has been serving as the Chief Minister of Delhi since February 2015. He leads the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which emphasizes anti-corruption measures and governance focused on the welfare of the people. Kejriwal's journey into politics followed a career in the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), where he served as a civil servant. His prominence soared during the 2011 anti-corruption movement led by social activist Anna Hazare, advocating for the Jan Lokpal Bill to combat corruption in India. In 2012, Kejriwal founded the Aam Aadmi Party, aiming to challenge the established political order and provide a platform for ordinary citizens to engage in politics. The party made significant electoral gains in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, forming the government with support from the Indian National Congress. However, his first stint as Chief Minister lasted only 49 days, marred by political discord that led to his resignation. Despite this setback, AAP's popularity surged, leading to a resounding victory in the 2015 elections, with the party winning 67 out of 70 seats again in 2020 62 out of 70 in the Delhi Legislative Assembly. Since then, Kejriwal's government has focused on various issues, including education, healthcare, and public services, implementing populist policies and innovative governance initiatives. His tenure has been characterized by a continued emphasis on anti-corruption measures and pro-people governance, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in Indian politics. The Delhi Chief Minister was arrested by the enforcement directorate on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to the now scrapped Delhi excise policy case. He remains in judicial custody. We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the health and well-being of Arvind Kejriwal, who has been battling diabetes for the past 30 years. Despite his critical medical condition requiring 54 units of insulin daily, we have received alarming reports that his insulin has been withheld while in custody. As a result, his blood sugar levels have soared to a dangerous level of 300, posing an immediate threat to his health and life. The denial of basic medical rights by jail authorities is a grave violation of human rights and cannot be tolerated. Arvind Ji's fundamental right to access essential medical treatment, including insulin, must be upheld without any delay. We urge the authorities to take immediate action to ensure the following: Immediate Access to Insulin: Arvind Ji must be provided with the necessary insulin medication without any further delay to stabilize his blood sugar levels and prevent further complications. Medical Evaluation and Treatment: Arvind Ji's health condition must be evaluated by qualified medical professionals, and appropriate medical treatment must be provided to address his diabetes and any related health issues. Respect for Human Rights: It is imperative that the rights and dignity of all individuals, including those in custody, are respected and protected. Denying access to essential medical care is a violation of human rights and must be rectified immediately. Accountability and Justice: Those responsible for withholding Arvind Ji's insulin and endangering his health must be held accountable for their actions. Justice must be served to ensure that such violations do not occur in the future. We call upon the concerned authorities, including jail authorities and government officials, to prioritize Arvind Ji's health and well-being by taking immediate action to provide him with the necessary medical treatment and ensure that his basic human rights are respected and upheld. #HumanRightsViolation #JusticeForArvindKejriwal #MedicalRightsMatterJeswanth Reddy3,1354/18/24
Support of the Hong Kong 47 and All Political Prisoners. 聲援香港47人案及所有政治犯We are Hongkongers scattered around the world due to the anti-extradition movement, and we are calling on the international community to pay attention to the situation of political prisoners in Hong Kong. We demand that the Hong Kong government immediately cease using the law as an excuse to suppress the people of Hong Kong. According to the Basic Law, Hongkongers should enjoy fundamental human rights and freedoms such as freedom of speech, association, assembly, procession, and demonstration. In recent years, Hong Kong has faced severe political oppression and human rights violations. Since the 2019 anti-extradition movement, the Hong Kong government has utilized judicial processes and legal means to persecute and suppress dissidents, including elected legislators, pro-democracy activists, and student leaders. Since June 30, 2020, the Hong Kong government has further prosecuted 47 pro-democracy figures under the imposed "National Security Law." These 47 individuals were merely exercising their freedom of speech, as guaranteed by Hong Kong's Basic Law, to express dissatisfaction with government policies and seek reform. However, they have been accused of conspiring to subvert state power and have been detained for over three years without trial, facing severe penalties, potentially including life imprisonment. We believe these charges are purely political persecution aimed at eradicating the voices of freedom and democracy in Hong Kong society. This political repression not only violates the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and international human rights conventions but also infringes on everyone's fundamental human rights and universal values. We earnestly appeal to the international community to pay attention to the plight of Hong Kong's political prisoners and to exert pressure on the Hong Kong government to immediately cease the persecution of political prisoners. We also call on governments and international organizations worldwide to take active measures, including diplomatic means, to urge the Hong Kong government to restore the rule of law in Hong Kong and protect the freedoms and rights of Hongkongers. Here, we firmly support the Hong Kong 47 and all political prisoners and call on global citizens to stand together to defend freedom, democracy, and human rights. We believe that only through international attention and pressure can Hong Kong's political prisoners receive fair and just treatment, and Hong Kong's freedom and democracy be safeguarded. Please join our petition and support Hong Kong's political prisoners with us, demonstrating universal democratic values. 我們是因香港反送中運動，而離散全球各地的香港人，齊聲呼籲國際社會關注香港政治犯的情況，並要求香港政府立刻停止以法律為藉口打壓香港人。根據基本法，香港人應享有言論、結社、集會、遊行、示威等基本人權與自由。 近年，香港面臨嚴重的政治壓迫和人權被侵犯。自從2019年反送中運動以來，香港政府利用司法程序、法律手段，迫害和打壓持不同政見人士，包括民選立法會議員、民主派人士及學生領袖。 2020年6月30日之後，香港政府更以強加於香港的「國家安全法」，對47名民主派人士提出了嚴厲的檢控。這47人只是在行使根據香港「基本法」賦予的言論自由，表達對政府政策的不滿和尋求改革。然而，他們卻被指控串謀顛覆國家政權罪名，未經審判已經被關���超過三年，可能面臨嚴重的刑罰，甚至終身監禁。 我們認為，這些指控完全是政治迫害，旨在消滅香港社會對自由和民主的呼聲。這種政治打壓不僅違反香港特區基本法和國際人權公約，並且侵犯了每個人的基本人權、普世價值。 我們懇請國際社會關注香港政治犯的處境，並向香港政府施加壓力，要求立即停止對政治犯的迫害。我們亦呼籲各國政府和國際組織採取積極行動，包括外交途徑，促使香港政府恢復香港人原有的法治，保護香港人的自由和權益。 在此，我們堅定地聲援香港47人及所有政治犯，並呼籲全球公民一同站出來，捍衛自由、民主和人權。我們相信，只有通過國際社會的關注和壓力，香港的政治犯才能得到公平公正的對待，香港的自由與民主才能得到保障。 請大家參加聯署，與我們一起聲援香港的政治犯，彰顯普世民主價值。 共同發起人/組織 排名不分先後 當代視覺藝術家 黃國才博士 台灣香港協會 桑普 傑斯 香港邊城青年 香港末代區議員 李文浩 香港末代區議員 單仲偕 在台港人 探監師林林 在加流亡港人，滅共大使珍姐 在台流亡港人 赴湯 細葉榕人道支援基金 張志康 亞東 錢寶芬 在英流亡港人 旁聽師 T Ba 美國香港人會館 Bruce 曼城中國領事館被襲者 Bob Chan 在台流亡港人 蔡智豪 Ivan Choi The Hong Kong Scots 郭子健 Free Hong Kong Media 姜嘉偉牧師 NSW HongKong Friends Australia/ 新州自己友 Ken Wong WH CHIU Ricker Choi Wing Wong Ricker Choi Uncle Leo赴 湯2,3265/24/24
Remove Felon Questions from All Applications (Excluding Sex Offenders)If Donald Trump can run for president, the highest office in this country as a convicted felon with 34 guilty counts, we as a nation must reconsider how we treat people who have paid their debt to society. Many individuals who have served their time continue to face discrimination when seeking employment due to mandatory disclosure of their criminal history on job applications. This practice hinders rehabilitation and reintegration into society.According to the National Employment Law Project, nearly one-third of American adults have a criminal record. Excluding sex offenders, removing these questions from applications would provide millions with fairer opportunities for employment and reduce recidivism rates by promoting stable livelihoods.Sign this petition to urge lawmakers and employers to remove felon questions from job applications (excluding sex offenders) and support the reintegration of rehabilitated individuals into our workforce.Nikki Jeter-Reese15,4265/31/24
Overturn Imprisoned Iranian Rapper Toomaj Salehi's Death Sentence NOW!Prominent Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi was sentenced to death by an Islamic Revolutionary Court on charges of “spreading corruption on earth. Toomaj was initially violently abducted and detained by authorities in October 2022 after supporting the nationwide anti-government protests triggered by the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Jina Amini by the “morality” police. In July 2023, he was sentenced to six years and three months in prison with a two-year ban on his music after avoiding a death sentence due to a Supreme Court ruling. “Branch One of the Revolutionary Court of Esfahan, in an unprecedented move, did not enforce the Supreme Court’s ruling .... and sentenced Salehi to the harshest punishment,” his lawyer Amir Raisian told Sharq Daily on Wednesday. Toomaj is known for using his lyrics to openly and courageously criticize the regime in Iran on issues such as corruption, widespread poverty, state executions, and the killing of protesters. According to his lawyer Raisian, the Revolutionary Court accused Salehi of “assistance in sedition, assembly and collusion, propaganda against the system and calling for riots” and considered these charges as examples of “corruption on earth.” “We will certainly appeal against the sentence. The fact is that the verdict of the court has clear legal conflicts. The contradiction with the ruling of the Supreme Court is considered the most important and, at the same time, the strangest part of this ruling,” Raisian told Sharq Daily. Toomaj was released on bail on November 18, 2023, after the Supreme Court found “flaws in the original sentence” and returned the case to a lower court for reexamination and possible retrial. Upon his release, he shared a nearly 15-minute-long video on his YouTube channel on November 27, revealing that he refused to admit guilt to arbitrary charges or cooperate with security forces despite facing torture and other ill-treatment. Three days after publishing the video, he was arrested again by armed plainclothes agents on November 30 for “publishing false information and disturbing public opinion.” His arrest came less than two weeks after he was released from nearly 13 months in prison, including 252 days in solitary confinement, during which he reportedly endured beatings and torture. Death Penalty Used as a Political Tool Under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code of 2013, the death penalty can apply to a wide range of offenses in violation of international human rights law. The most common vaguely defined criminal charges that are often used against dissidents or protesters are “waging war against God,” “corruption on earth,” or “armed rebellion.” These charges carry the death penalty and are handled by Islamic Revolutionary Courts, presided by judges who are some of the most notorious rights violators. Revolutionary Courts are special courts established following the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran to deal with “political and security affairs.” They have jurisdiction over a wide range of acts, including attempts to overthrow the government. “These courts lack independence, operate under the influence of security and intelligence bodies, and routinely use torture-tainted forced “confessions” in grossly unfair summary trials to issue convictions,” according to Amnesty International. Iran hanged at least 853 people in 2023, the second-highest number of executions in two decades, with Revolutionary Courts issuing 520 (61%) of the death sentences.

Please remove the firearm enhancement and show leniency..PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO THIS SITEATTENTION: Donations made to this site are designated solely for the promotion of the petition and are NOT utilized for Cardell's legal expenses. The Honorable Camille Buras Section H 2700 Tulane Ave New Orleans, LA 70119 District Attorney Williams Orleans Parish District Attorney Office 619 South White Street New Orleans, LA 7011 For the attention of The Honorable Judge Camille Buras and District Attorney Jason Williams: Firstly, to the Honorable Judge Camille Buras we appeal to you writing to vehemently ask for leniency and respectfully requestthat you do not apply the firearm enhancement in the case of Cardell Hayes, who has shown genuine remorse and compliance since the tragic events of April 9, 2016. Cardell has demonstrated sincere remorse for his actions and has diligently complied with all stipulations since being granted bail on March 18, 2021. Since the tragic incident, he has consistently adhered to all legal requirements, cooperated fully with authorities, and taken positive steps towards rebuilding his life. We believe that imposing a firearm enhancement in this case would not only be disproportionate but could also hinder Cardell's ability to reintegrate into society and make meaningful contributions to his community. Considering Cardell's compliance and remorse, we are pleading that you consider a lesser sentence, a suspended sentence, or time served. Such a decision would allow Cardell to continue his journey towards making a positive contribution to society. Thank you for your time and consideration. Secondly, to District Attorney Jason Williams we write to plead for your consideration in removing the firearm enhancement associated with the case of Cardell Hayes. While we recognize the impact the unfortunate tragedy has had on the Smith family, it has impacted Cardell and his family as well. We express our deepest condolences to the Smith family. It is with deep concern for justice and fairness that we address this matter. Cardell Hayes has demonstrated sincere remorse for his actions and has actively engaged in efforts to better himself since the tragic incident occurred. His commitment to personal growth and responsibility is evident in his unwavering dedication to being a devoted father to his 13-year-old son and his 2-year-old daughter. Additionally, Cardell's character is marked by humility and gentleness, qualities that have been consistently observed by those who know him. The imposition of the firearm enhancement, in this instance, would only serve to exacerbate the severity of his sentence without just cause. We plead for you to review Cardell's case with compassion and fairness, considering his remorse and dedication to personal growth, as well as his role as a loving and supportive father. Removing the firearm enhancement would align with principles of proportionality and fairness, allowing Cardell the opportunity to rebuild his life and continue providing guidance and support to his children during this crucial time in their lives. Your thoughtful consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.Please Thank you6,6782/3/24
HELP SAVE INNOCENT LIFE OF A TEEN WRONGFULLY CONVICTED19yr boy sentenced to DEATH BY INCARCERATION as a first time offender for a crime that he did not do! Convicted of a home invasion style robbery where no life was lost, No women or children were harmed and most importantly there is NO evidence putting him at the scene Winston Walters was just a teenager who had never been in trouble before when a home invasion robbery took place in Oklahoma. Both victims identified their own nephew (winston is NOT their nephew) immediately after crime took place, to this day the victims have never identified winston. Their nephew was identified! had motive! and his evidence was found at the crime scene. To this day the victims have never identified Winston, but Winston was brought into this case by coerced statements from career criminals who all got deals to save their own lives! Winston had his life taken based on lies and circumstantial evidence, this poor kid was railroaded by the system *Victims identified their nephew with 99.9% certainty based on his height, voice, and mannerisms not to mention the perp knew his way around the home and knew about their phones. the nephew's motive is clear, they had just repoed the nephew's truck and he had been kicked out of their son's home. (nephews jimmy kit and pill bottle were found at the crime scene) One of the lead investigators on this case had just been fired from another county for illegal activity, rehired, and able to work this case. The lead investigator lied to the local news Evidence at trial was INSUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN THE STATES' BURDEN OF PROOF The Trial Judge had a bias from the start, a few years before this case his father-in-law was murdered in a similar manner (home invasion) not knowing this fact until AFTER the trial, Walters was deprived of his right to a fair and impartial Trial, TRIAL JUDGE IN VIOLATION OF DUE PROCESS improper handling of evidence, undocumented evidence was allowed in court although no one knew where they came from and when asked at trial the statements were contradicting to one another. while investigators agreed to mishandling the evidence and improperly documenting evidence All of the states "witnesses" used to attempt to place Winston at the crime were clearly coerced and had criminal records, all were looking at time and 99% of them got NO TIME thanks to their testimony. EVEN THOUGH ONE WAS LITERALLY PICKED UP FROM A COLORADO JAIL AND BROUGHT BACK TO OKLAHOMA. All of these people stood by Walters's innocence until lengthy interrogations were done and the opportunity to save themselves was thrown in their faces. one of these ppl went to court and was looking at 100yrs while maintaining Walters's innocence, after being on suicide watch and on record for saying he "would rather die than get a whole bunch of time" his story changed and brought Walters into it. None of the state's witnesses told the same stories, they were all seen lying and contradicting one another IN BIG WAYS (the truth doesn't change much in a story no matter who is telling it.) IN VIOLATION with the 6th and 14th AMENDMENT Walters received constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel. Walters was never able to TESTIFY ON HIS BEHALF. A teenager listening to what his lawyer told him to do. To this day it's been one of his biggest regrets Walters would receive multiple punishments for a single course of conduct The court's decision to run sentences CONSECUTIVELY was an abuse of discretion and constitutes an EXCESSIVE SENTENCE. Lack of jurisdiction, Walters is a member of the Comanche Nation, the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this case and much more not listed. PLEASE help save his life! This case needs to be reexamined from an unbias lens we are DEMANDING he be freed immediately or be retried by his tribe! His release date is 2107! This is a disgusting abuse of power from the Oklahoma court system. Oklahoma leads the nation in mass incarceration and excessive sentences in cases that don't call for it. WE CAN'T STAND BY AND LET HIM BE ANOTHER STATISTIC TO A CORRUPT SYSTEM! This is not the story of a 19 TEEN-year-old career criminal who was so terrible he needed to be locked away forever, this is tragic proof that the judicial system still needs ALOT OF WORK, to stop our Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and other minorities from being a victim of it. Helping one is a step to helping us all. Even incarcerated he's spent the past 10 years trying to better himself, going to college and making handmade leather crafts, so that one day when he is free he will be a positive impact on society. " Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others." Coretta Scott King. We are asking that Winston be freed IMMEDIATELY, 10yrs of his life has already been taken by the prison system. He deserves a chance to live before more decades are lost. Time is the most precious thing humans have, I don't understand how people sleep at night knowing they took his life from him before he ever got a chance to actually live. PLEASE BRING WINSTON HOME

Free Ms. Footman: A Mental Health Crisis Is Not A CrimePlease do not share publicly on social media**When signing this position, please consider putting both your first and last name in the "First Name" box, and your profession or organization in the "Last Name" box**Ms. Kaylin Footman is a Black 2nd grade teacher at Paso Verde Elementary School. She became a victim of our cruel system of criminalizing mental health, when she suffered a mental health crisis. Ms. Footman has no criminal record, history of violence, or mental illness. After she and her family were refused professional mental health care several times, she was arrested and held in jail with no outside contact for 10 days. She eventually had to be forcibly medicated by court order and transported to a mental health hospital. This ordeal has left Ms. Footman charged with 4 felonies, including 1 strike, and around $40,000 in fines. With having an untreated mental illness making a person 16x more likely to die in an encounter with law enforcement, and being Black making you 7x more likely to be incarcerated here in Sacramento - we're lucky she is still alive. This incident is yet another painful example of how Sacramento does not have an efficient response to mental health emergencies. Join the community effort to decriminalize mental health and demand the District Attorney drop all charges against Ms. Kaylin Footman by signing the petition below to be sent to the Sacramento District Attorney's Office. For more information on Ms. Footmans story visit: Tinyurl.com/FreeMsFootmanPlease do not share publicly on social media*When signing this position, please consider putting both your first and last name in the "First Name" box, and your profession or organization in the "Last Name" box*-----To: The Sacramento County District AttorneyThein Ho℅ - Megan Adama and Shelly Demonahan We are writing to shed light on the epidemic of criminalizing mental health crises. One of the symptoms is community members who need medical attention being caught up in our carceral system. Ms. Kaylin Footman is one of those community members. This problem continues to claim lives each year here in Sacramento County. Ms. Kaylin Footman was a beloved 2nd-grade teacher at Paso Verde Elementary in Natomas Unified School District. Ms. Footman has been caring for our community’s youth for 8 years with no history of violence, aggression, or mental illness. To the contrary–she’s absolutely beloved. Ms. Footman and her family were miserably failed when they reached out for support. This tragic situation is a symptom of the much larger problem that Sacramento County does not provide 24-7 emergency access to qualified mental health professionals. Ms. Footman and her family were repeatedly denied access to mental health support. They called 911 multiple times begging for Ms. Footman to be transferred to a mental health hospital. She was clearly having a psychotic episode. When the police arrived for the fourth time, they took Ms. Footman to jail. Ms. Footman, still in a psychotic state, did not immediately receive mental health services in jail. All of these conditions led Ms. Footman to be trapped in our criminal justice system when she should be receiving medical care. Kaylin was incarcerated for 10 days, with no outside contact, not even with legal counsel. While having a psychotic episode during her incarceration she was subjected to dehumanizing holds, being tasered, and what the sheriff’s report described as “Pain Compliance” techniques. After 10 days, she had to be forcibly medicated and transferred to a mental health hospital. She exhibited none of the behaviors the sheriff experienced once she was in the care of mental health professionals or after being released. Ms. Footman immediately sought mental health services upon her release and has continued with her doctor's orders, without further issue. The Undersigned believe the following: Having a Mental Health Crisis is not a crime. Ms. Footman should have immediately received mental health treatment. Sacramento must adopt policies and procedures that require mental health trainer service providers to respond to calls involving mental health concerns While this systemic affliction is not immediately curable, we can start to heal. We are asking that you use your discretion to drop all charges against Ms. Kaylin Footman and support Sacramento County having 24-7 access to mental health professionals.Sacramento CA3,6845/30/24
Help this innocent father return to his family!Tom and Laura Imschweiler lost their son, Franklin, to a tragic and sudden death while vacationing in the Outer Banks in 2018. Medical professionals initially misdiagnosed his death as Shaken Baby Syndrome. Because Tom was the last person to see Franklin, all fingers pointed to him as the cause of his death. There is overwhelming medical evidence that proves otherwise, as does a highly regarded pathologist in North Carolina, Dr. Mary Gilliland. Three years after their son tragically died, and while Laura was seven months pregnant with their daughter, their family faced an impossible choice. Tom was facing life in prison without parole if he went to trial, which meant he might never see his family again. Rather than risk that, they decided he should use the "Alford Plea" to plead guilty of voluntary manslaughter — meaning he maintains his innocence while still pleading guilty. Today, a year and a half later, we created this petition to ask for the public's help. No family should have to suffer one horrible loss like this, let alone two. The growing rate of falsely convicted crimes around the country is becoming more evident as authority figures are becoming more aware of it. It was always clear that there had been police and prosecutorial misconduct against Tom. Our goal is to get the governor of North Carolina to commute Tom’s unjust sentence and bring this innocent man home to his family!

Free Imhotep: End 35 Years of Wrongful Imprisonment and Judicial CorruptionFree Imhotep: End 35 Years of Wrongful Imprisonment and Judicial Corruption Imhotep Jordan Jr., an innocent man, has been wrongfully imprisoned for 35 years. In 1989, Mr. Jordan was wrongfully arrested and charged with murder. Evidence presented at his trial clearly demonstrated that he was in another city at the time of the crime, with multiple witnesses and video footage supporting his alibi. Despite this, and with no physical evidence linking him to the crime scene, the jury was instructed by the judge to find him guilty of murder. Consequently, he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive 25-to-life sentences as an aider and abettor, even though he was not present during the commission of the crime. During jury deliberations in 1991, the all-women jury asked the judge multiple times if they had to convict Imhotep of murder if they found him guilty of other charges. The judge initially said no. However, on June 4th, 1991, the judge instructed the jury to find Imhotep guilty of murder, leading to his unjust conviction that same day. This proves the jury was reluctant to convict him of murder until directed by the judge. His life, hopes, and dreams have been stolen by a system that has failed to recognize his innocence. His family and community have also suffered immensely, witnessing a beloved member endure decades of injustice. The broader community is affected as well, as this case exemplifies the severe flaws and corruption within our judicial system that can impact anyone. In 2019, California enacted SB 1437, which allows for the resentencing of individuals convicted under the felony murder rule who did not actually kill anyone. Mr. Jordan promptly filed a petition under Penal Code Section 1170.95. Although initially denied by Judge Lance P. Jensen on the grounds of unconstitutionality, this decision was overturned on appeal. The appellate court's reversal in June 2020 mandated a resentencing. Despite this clear directive, the district attorney and judges conspired to delay Mr. Jordan's release by waiving time without his knowledge or consent. This continued for four years, during which secret hearings were held, and his case was mishandled. If things remain the same, Imhotep will continue to languish in prison for a crime he did not commit, while the real perpetrators of injustice go unpunished. This not only perpetuates a grave personal tragedy for Imhotep but also undermines public trust in our legal system. Conversely, if Imhotep is freed, it will signify a significant victory for justice and human rights. It will restore faith in the system and provide hope to countless others who are similarly affected by wrongful convictions. New Evidence and Urgent Action: We have recently uncovered evidence exposing extensive judicial corruption and secrecy in Mr. Jordan’s case. It has come to light that numerous secret court hearings were held without Mr. Jordan’s knowledge or attendance. To review this evidence: 1. Visit [this website](https://visionpublic.occourts.org/Search.do#formAnchor2. Enter the Case# C-78108 to access John Jordan’s case.3. Scroll down to the hearings section, which lists 149 hearings.4. On pages 5, 6, 7, and 8, you will find FIFTY-EIGHT (58) hearings from 11/17/2020 to 07-26-2024. Since Mr. Jordan’s appeal for resentencing was reversed in June 2020, there have been 58 hearings, many of which Mr. Jordan was neither informed of nor invited to attend. This case is likely not an isolated instance of corruption but a reflection of a broader problem within our judicial system. Upcoming Hearing: There is an urgent hearing scheduled for August 2nd, which Mr. Jordan only discovered by chance when inquiring with his counselor about his release. This further illustrates the lack of transparency and fairness in his case. How You Can Help: 1. Share this petition with at least 5+ people in your network.2. Email the decision makers to urge them to address this matter: - decision.makers@change.org - Isabel_Verduzco@cacd.uscourts.gov - info@da.lacounty.gov3. Use Social Media: Post about the petition and use relevant hashtags to increase visibility.4. Add a Personal Note: Share why this cause is important to you. Every additional day Imhotep spends in prison is another day of his life unjustly taken from him. Immediate action is crucial to correcting this miscarriage of justice and setting a precedent that such systemic failures will not be tolerated. We must act now to free Imhotep and ensure that our justice system upholds its true values. Mr. Jordan has been in prison for 35 years for a crime he did not commit. This case exemplifies systemic corruption and miscarriage of justice, where evidence and legal protocols are disregarded, and the rights of the accused are continually violated. We are seeking support from organizations and legal professionals dedicated to correcting such injustices and ensuring Mr. Jordan’s rightful release.Saseshmu Herut1837/17/24
Request a Review for the Case of Terrell L. Tensley a Man Wrongfully Imprisoned for 18 yrsThis story is deeply personal and involves a man who has spent the greater part of his life trapped behind bars for a crime that he did not commit. Stripped of his freedom, his family, and his basic human rights, Terrell Tensley has been enduring this hardship for the past 18 years. A few years ago the key witness in his case recanted, revealing that Terrell is innocent. Unfortunately the key witness was also a victim, fighting battles of her own. Having been coerced into making statements that were not true, she was forced to do something she otherwise would not do. Despite her legally documented confession as to what really happened, Terrell continues to languish in prison, separated from his loved ones who desperately need his presence. Furthermore, it has come to light that his defense was marred by ineffective counsel, adding to the litany of rights violations in his case. Throughout these years, his desire to tell his story and see justice served has never waned. We must address the grievous errors that have perpetuated this tragedy by demanding a thorough re-examination of his case. In this rich, democratic society where justice is touted as a paramount virtue, we cannot stand idle while an innocent man pays the price for a crime he did not commit. We petition that authorities urgently revisit this case. Let us stridently fight this gross miscarriage of justice and help bring him and his family the closure they deserve. Terrell has been fighting for his freedom for over 18 years now. This ongoing battle has put a strain on him and his family, emotionally, mentally, physically and financially. Please help by signing this petition and lend your voice to justice. We need your help.Michelle Davis976/30/24
Demand a Fair Trial and End Racial Discrimination in Marshalltown, IAI stand before you as a mother, whose son had suffered the horrifying reality of racial discrimination and corruption in our justice system. My son, a mere 20-year-old at that time, was sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment in Marshalltown, Iowa, a town known for its cruel and unusual punishment meted out disproportionately to our black youth. This was not a consequence of his actions; rather, it was the result of a racially fueled judicial system that denied him his human rights for a fair trial. Instead of facilitating the path to justice, my son's public defender, Aron Siebratch, worked against him, deliberately neglecting to present any evidence that could shed light on the truth. Our pleas to the judge were met with blatant disregard, exacerbating our dire situation.The racially disproportionate sentencing and subsequent incarceration rates of people of color in Marshalltown has painted a grim picture. These discriminatory practices wear a façade of legality, but beyond this veil, the ugly truth of systemic racism prevails. It is naive to perceive this as merely a spate of isolated incidents – it's an endemic issue, symptomatic of deep-seated racism in our society.In 2017, the NAACP reported that African Americans were incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites. This statistic is a testament to the fact that minority communities continue to bear the brunt of discrimination, an issue that needs your urgent attention.This petition does not just involve my son; it concerns everyone ambitious for a future where the color of your skin does not seal your fate. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamt of a day where his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character. We, as a society, need to engage to bring about this change. Stand with us today in our fight. Condemn racial discrimination, demand a fair trial, and call for an end to the misuse of judicial power in Marshalltown, IA. We demand justice. With every signature added, we are a step towards a fair, balanced, and inclusive judicial system. Don’t look away--speak up, be our voice, and sign this petition today. The more I think about it as I reach out to My Love supporters, I want to thank you and I want us to stay strong and fight against judicial system abuse we have worked too hard for our human rights for them to be violated because of our financial disadvantages stand before you were all supporting documents I really hate to see my son rights being humiliated violated in such a way and helplessly. I watch the prosecutor and my son public defense after his guilty verdict hi five each other that is so damaging to me. I can’t believe that I sat entire trial and watched defense attorney flicker around with his glasses, and the judge failed to redirect him or ask him if he needed any time to fix his or wardrobe malfunctioning. I felt like that was signal to the jury that my son. Life was a complete game. The jury was 99% Caucasian 1% African-American, who seem to be against it from the start. They did not allow the victims guardians to speak. She admitted to us off record that he was damaged good for some reason I don’t know why certain things were kept off record and certain parts of recordings were withdrawn from his case if there’s anybody out there, I really need WE need to stand tall …I’m asking that he be free of the cruel and usual punishment and abuse of the judicial system the legal system and the fact that he was humiliated and nobody was there to defend him during his trial?

Justice for kirellNo one has told the international community about an African-American man incarcerated in California for 25 years and known as "Doc," Dr. Sadeeq, A.K.A. KIRELL TAYLOR. Pronounced: Key-Rail. From July 1999 to September 2001 when Kirell was housed in the LOS ANGELES COUNTY JAIL, he took secret steps with letters in his court file and court documented filings to prove he was working to try to prevent the 9/11 terrorist attack. Kirell betrayed the trust of Osama Bin Laden. On Sept. 6th, 2001, Kirell was told the DATE of the 9/11 attack. On Friday, Sept. 7th,2001, during voir dire (jury selection) Kirell broke his silence dressed in Islamic clothing and asked a juror on the court record "how will it feel" during his trial "to see a terrorist attack in the news and the media" committed by fake "so-called Muslims?" Voir dire transcripts. A day after 9/11 on Wednesday 9/12/2001 Kirell told Judge Hoff: "I'm going to open the jury up and talk about -- and question them -- voir dire them again about the incident that happened yesterday based on me being Muslim." See the Reporter's Transcript (RT) on Kirell's direct Appeal, Vol. 8 pages 230-233. The media had not yet tied the attacks to “Osama Bin Laden.” On Thursday 9/13/2001 Kirell said to Judge Hoff: “I'm going to take the initial stance to tell you what I told the people of the jury panel last week. If any terrorism was to occur ... would they be biased to that? They [never] told me no. ... Five months ago I was upset behind a policy that he implemented Osama Bin Laden and I've expressed it to one of my bailiffs as well and he asked me did I have personal contact. Of course I do.” RT Vol. 8 pages 292-295, 363-364. In front of the jury Kirell asked detective Purdy: “Is a murderr investigation the utmost investigation as far as crimes?” Purdy said: "Yes, that, and maybe terrorism." Kirell screamed: "That and maybe terrorism." See RT Vol. 9 pages 618-619 You should not conclude Kirell waited to the last minute to go on the court record to speak on the 9/11 terrorist attack. It is clear from the fourth paragraph of “THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT” at page 244 that, “Binalshibh advised Atta that Bin Laden had directed the other operatives not be informed of the date until the last minute. Atta was to provide Binalshibh with advance notice of at least A WEEK OR TWO so that Binalshibh could travel to Afghanistan and report the date personally to Bin Laden.” Therefore, that's why Kirell did not learn of the date of the attack until until September 6th, 2001. He broke his silence on September 7th, 2001 and on September 8th and 9th, 2001, Kirell called and was ignored by the FBI in Westwood, California. Nevertheless, “the ultimate question that must be set forth between a majority of citizens of the United States and members of any terrorist organization is: Whose really screaming let's destroy Islam? Kirell believes the Saudi family members in Arabia, including their sponsored religious groups, are doing a far better job at destroy¡ng the original image of Islam than any other government or person.” During closing arguments in Kirell's trial he stated to the members of the jury: "In voir dire when I questioned you guys as to terrorism, [an] Islamic group, what happened the next week? Shit happens. And I know that [you were] probably like, while sitting at home I know you [were] like, 'wow, he just asked us [about] this'." RT Volume 13 page 1343. Without knowing Kirell's position, for sure, the jurors looked upon him as a racist "black muslim" terrorist whom "not only had not much respect for the WHOLE American way of life, he had no respect for the judicial system, which is the best in the world," said the jury's forewoman, an aerospace project manager. Being ignored from a jail cell acting as his own attorney on a murderr charge, Kirell did all he could do to try to prevent the 9/11 terrorist attack. In the year 2004 "THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT" was published and Kirell wasn't mentioned one time. It states in the Preface on page xvii at the third paragraph: "We have not interviewed every knowledgeable person or found every pie¢e of paper. New information inevitably will come to light." At pages 218-219 of that Report it reveals a Muslim (other than Kirell in a California state prison) was interviewed about his contact with TWO of the NINETEEN 9/11 highjackers that were living in San Diego, California MONTHS prior to the 9/11 attacks. Why Kirell was not interviewed about his “personal contact” with “Osama Bin Laden” until Sept. 2019 is a mystery in light of the Court Reporter's Transcripts. Your donations are to help create a documentary film and promote a manuscript on the life of Kirell soon to be sold entiltled THE RAWEST MANIPULATOR — BROKEN SILENCE TO 9/11. By July 19, 2024 under the California Racial Justice Act at Penal Code section 745, the CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT ordered the CA Attorney General to file a full response about the jurors bias against Kirell's race and “religious ethnicity " NEWMAN SPRINGS PUBLISHING will have Kirell's book for sale on or soon after 9/11/2024.

Keep Fighting for Peace in PalestineTo the Christian and Muslim community concerning the immediate release of all hostages, Here are victims given a chance to speak until the next incitement. This is our UN petition to submit to the court registry of Berlin Germany and Bethlehem Palestine by any capable person from the humanitarian community. We call the Blue helmets for all hostages taken by Israel. We call the humanitarian network in the West-Bank to release hostage Angelina from Berlin Germany who is victim of circumcision attempts by Israel. We call for food for Palestine and for the children suffering in the war. United Nations, you must restore all the humanitarian aid tunnels in Palestine and Gaza to stop the genocide. We call for the WHO to send all the medical technology. We ask only the good rabbis in Israel to end the violence against our victims of genocide now. We ask good people to stop this crime. Angelina was tortured and abducted to Occupied Palestine. She does not have her human rights. The armed forces are not respecting her dignity and rights to recognition as a tortured victim and hostage. She always helped others and she was taken away as a martyr. Keep fighting for Angelina.

STOP THE MISTREATMENT OF FEDERAL INMATES AT BECKLEY FCII'm hoping this petition will not only shed light on the federal prison system, and the mistreatment of human life at the federal Correction institute of West Virginia, known as Beckley FCI, but it will awaken change and bring justice for our families, loved ones, and children. This petition is to address the oversight at FCI Beckley, also to bring awareness to the endless number of violations that are currently taking place at this facility daily. When placed in a system that is rampant with violence and abuse, inmates are paying far more than what they’ve been found guilty of, this repayment goes far beyond there sentencing and even their crimes. The Eighth Amendment protects Americans from enduring cruel and unusual punishment, not at Beckley it does not. In the last year the Eighth Amendment violations have been endless: physical abuse, verbal abuse, lack of access to medical treatment and care, food deprivation, solitary confinement, unsanitary conditions, religious rights violation, mail tampering, shower deprivation, zero access to law library and the list goes on. Tampering with mail is a federal offense and is punishable by law. Why are the correctional officers at this prison allowed to be employed, why is BOP not investigating? The Equal Protection clause protects prisoners from any form of discrimination, such as race, sex, or religion — unless doing so would clearly violate their safety. The 14th Amendment reiterates that this applies to all people born or naturalized in the U.S. and states that no one will be denied equal protection under the law. But not at FCI Beckley, these rights do not apply. From the fear of further abuse and confinement to loss of privileges, many abused inmates have felt justice is unattainable and speaking out is a risk they’re unwilling to take. But for all those silenced, the near-constant stream of lawsuits and exposés show America’s prison system has been broken for years. Employee misconduct is at the top of the list. When violent correctional officers are not held accountable, a dangerous culture of impunity flourishes Being demeaned, insulted, and threatened with violence, loss of privileges and solitary confinement takes a significant toll on inmates’ mental health. To then treat them inadequately for their illnesses creates more problems. The everyday violence, food and medical deprivation, demeaning treatment, and excessive solitary confinement have exposed many civil rights violations. Where is the accountability for employee misconduct, and the disciplinary action taken? Why are these employees not criminally prosecuted, why are these employees still employees, and why are we paying them with our federal dollars? Criminal activity should be held to the same standard as it does in or outside of that prison regardless of title. Under federal law, people in prison who accuse guards of mistreatment must go through an internal grievance process before they can sue. Even if someone was able to submit a grievance, a recent federal audit found the Bureau of Prisons is too understaffed to adequately investigate. So how are these grievances being handled? What is being done to protect our men? What action is being taken was a complaint is filed? If the prison is so understaffed why on 07/24/24 are the prisoners on lockdown for "staff appreciation day" I was told the prison has been short staffed hence the tremendous number of lockdowns. Why are these correctional officers on the clock being paid to eat and drink while our men are locked down? I concluded that FCI Beckley does not operate under BOP guidelines they operate whichever way benefits them. The amount of time the inmates have been on lock down outweighs the amount of time they are not. Why is it when solitary confinement is full and other inmates are awaiting to be placed in solitary confinement do, they have the right to lock all the inmates down? Why is it fair to the other inmates? Why are they paying for something someone else did? They are already serving their time. Inmates in solitary confinement are not being able to make phone calls at all and are being held there for over 150 days, this results in unconstitutional conditions of confinement. Why is it so difficult to have human injustice that many civilians face on a day-to-day basis, unethical procedures unethical actions. Why is Beckley not being held accountable and why is the federal govt and prison allowing this? Please an investigation needs to be opened immediately, and myself as well as others will continue to seek justice. Lastly, I would like to address visitation. Why are we treated like a burden when we call or visit our loved ones? Calling Beckley is a joke, they lie and say visits are cancelled. They do not provide correct information, most times they do not answer the phone. If they do, they are rude and hang up in your face. Every person you speak to you tells you something different. Most families are driving and flying 8 plus hours it's very frustrating to be misinformed of which side has visits. Visits themselves are horrendous. They tell you out there mouth they do not want to be there; they show you and they make you feel like you are an inconvenience to them from start to finish. If you are unable to pass the medical detector upon entry you are denied entry until you can pass without the alarm sounding. I was denied and the only metal I had on my person was a button on my jeans, the officer also stated that I could not keep trying to go through after removing different items of clothing. On the BOP website it states. "(a) Visitors are required to clear a walk-through metal detector before being allowed to visit. If the visitor fails to clear a walk-through detector, he or she will be screened with a hand-held metal detector." Beckley states they will not wand any individual. The visiting room is filled with ants, the tables have been removed. The vending machines are empty, broken, and out of order, the change machine is broken. On multiple occasions they said no one would be allowed retrieve anything from the machines. People had children. How can people sit in a visiting room for 6 plus hours without water and children without food? For the past for weeks while visiting we now must step into a taped off box and kiss and hug our loved ones before and after a visit begins with the correction officer shorter than an arm's length away, very degrading and uncomfortable. Visiting a loved one at Beckley causes anxiety, emotional and mental damage, as well as frustration. Why are inmates being designated more than 500 miles from their families? In closing, please share this information, please help us to advocate and please let’s put a stop to the mistreatment of federal inmates everywhere not just at Beckley. We must be the voice for our men. Ask yourself what would you do if this was your son, your brother, your husband, your relative? The prison is still on lockdown at this current time, and our loved ones are still being violated. The time to act is now!Krystal Leslie287/30/24
Hasten Donald Francis McQuade’s AppealFor over 5 years my father Donald Francis McQuade has been wrongfully imprisoned, subjected to one sided media defamation, mistreatment whilst awaiting trial, wrongful medication dosages and treatments at the hands of the state of Alaska for a crime he did not commit. Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, the state of Alaska and the residing judge of the case gave him 50 years stating that “he would give him more but he wont live long enough for it to matter.” The prosecution showed very little evidence to support his hand in this crime; only talking about this miraculous break through of ‘genealogy’ to solve crime. They did not allow him to speak on his own behalf either and rushed to a conclusion of the case merely so they could attend their families holiday plans while the wrong man was punished for a crime he did not commit and his family to this day still continues to fight for his innocence. If this case had not been rushed or used a ‘message to other guilty parties of cold cases’ Donald McQuade would be with his family in their own times of need and the victims family would have the relief and knowledge of who in fact committed this crime. Legal appeals can take very long, I understand that the wheels of justice turn slow for those below pay brackets - however the voices of many trump any dollar amount. I’ve never used this method of seeking help before and I’m unsure if I’m even allowed to speak of this case and its contents at length but I am willing to share any and all details - so is the rest of my family - raise your voices with us so that the true culprit is brought to the light and an innocent man is set free. I just want my dad back.John McQuade277/22/24

Bryan Lamont Arrington For PresidentGreetings, America. Hey Ya! Hesci. My name is Bryan Lamont iyinu-Ayamiwin ᐄᓅ ᐊᔨᒨᓐ (Purple Heart) Arrington of the Southern East Cree of the Cree Nation. This election is just as important as any other election. There are many things I could say, but I want to focus on a few key points. One of my priorities is the legalization of cannabis for health and medicinal purposes and agriculture, as a form of reparations for those affected by injustices in our country's history. Many people have faced generational hardships, and it's time to address these issues. I also want to focus on agriculture, expanding land for growing crops without taking away from people or businesses. We must reconnect with our natural world, which we've lost touch with. No one is perfect, not even the president, but with the right support system, we can achieve great things. We need to use our common sense and work towards being decent people. As a dedicated citizen, deeply invested in the future of our nation, I am running for President of the United States in the 2024 Election. My commitment to improving our country is driven by my personal experiences and desire to create meaningful change. A true Native American President is needed now more than ever! Join me as we strive towards creating an America that works for all. Sign this petition to support my candidacy. As a veteran and proud American, I have witnessed the challenges we face as a nation. I see how power is concentrated in the hands of a few, creating undesirable conditions for many. Embracing the potential benefits of a new age, I aim to bring financial freedom without excessive control. My campaign promises to address these issues head-on. My platform includes decriminalizing non-violent drug offenses (excluding fentanyl), improving safety and trust across our cities, and implementing direct monetary payments to help citizens afford living costs while freezing rising expenses. I also pledge to protect children with stricter laws. Children are our future, and under my leadership, we will ensure their safety. Nearly five children die every day from child abuse-related causes (Child help statistics). As a Native American candidate, I understand the importance of protecting our environment and natural resources while advancing agricultural practices. Our nation's infrastructure needs significant improvement; the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America’s infrastructure a D+ grade in their latest report card. I pledge to decriminalize and pardon non-violent or non-hazardous drug offenders, with exceptions for fentanyl. The U.S has the highest incarceration rate globally, with over 2.3 million people currently behind bars (NAACP). A significant proportion are non-violent drug offenders who deserve rehabilitation rather than punishment. I want to open a dispensary and other ventures to create employment and creative opportunities. According to data from The Sentencing Project, as of 2018, approximately 1 in every 3 adults in America has been arrested by age 23, many for non-violent or minor offenses. My policy would significantly reduce this number and provide rehabilitation opportunities. To improve safety across our cities, I will work tirelessly to foster trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Trust is essential for effective policing; according to Pew Research Center's survey (2016), only about one-third of Americans believe that police departments are doing an excellent job using appropriate force. I propose direct monthly monetary payments for American citizens struggling with living costs while freezing rising expenses. Nearly half (43%) of US households can't afford basics like food and housing (United Way ALICE Project report). Furthermore, my plan on providing direct monetary aid echoes successful policies implemented globally that have shown positive results in poverty reduction, such as Finland's Universal Basic Income experiment (OECD). Rebuilding cities will be prioritized under my administration, ensuring adequate housing availability and realistic job opportunities. This campaign is not just about my personal goals; it's about all Americans who believe in change and progress. It's time we had leadership that truly represents us, including our Native American communities which have been historically underrepresented at higher levels of government. Support my bid for Presidency in the 2024 Election because it takes more than just one person; it takes all of us working together towards a better future. Sign this petition today! Register to vote at Vote.org and veterans and their families can register for benefits at Va.gov. P.S. Women deserve respect and recognition as the mothers of humanity. We all want the same things and must look out for each other. Some people want to destroy freedoms and cause harm, but those dark days are coming to an end. We need respect for women and must acknowledge the historical injustices they have faced. We will ensure safe freedom of expression for everyone, including the LGBT+ community. Our military will be capable of defending our homeland against any threats and will stand ready to aid or defend our allies and other nations in need. No nation should be deprived of safety and security or prosecuted for their beliefs in the sense of humanitarian aid and laws. What do the people want and need? America can provide and protect.

Demand the Shut Down of Trousdale Turner Correctional CenterTrousdale Turner Correctional Center (TTCC) has been plagued by multiple issues since its inception, from overcrowded conditions to reports of violent incidents and subpar prisoner care. As taxpayers, it's our responsibility to ensure that establishments running under public funding adhere to human rights norms and maintain an optimal level of safety and care for their prisoners. It is alarmingly evident that the TTCC is falling considerably short on this front. In 2017, The Human Rights Defense Center and ACLU of Tennessee compiled a 33-page report detailing many of TTCC's failings in just its first year of operation. Issues include understaffing leading to safety hazards, woefully inadequate medical care, sanitation problems, and exploitation of prisoners through unfair labor practices. These systemic issues indicate a need for drastic change.Given the significant and persistent problems associated with the TTCC, it's imperative that we call for swift and decisive action. This petition, therefore, seeks for the shut down of Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, until a thorough reassessment and restructuring can take place that ensures the rights, safety, and health of its inmates are prioritized, and that the institution adheres to the standards of corrections departments on a national level. Please sign this petition to demand more accountability in our correctional systems and fight for the right to humane conditions for all, especially those most vulnerable.
