Let's send a message.

We need your contribution by midnight tomorrow. John,  This month, we have seen our momentum grow substantially, but we remain just short of our goal of 10,000 donations. In our campaign against the political and corporate estab…

My Experience With Stop-and-Frisk Policing

This is #MyBloombergStory. John,  In the early 2000s, I was a young teacher, and Bloomberg was mayor.   Stop-and-frisk was a way of life, emboldening the police and perpetuating a culture of police harassment and brutality again…

Will you contribute to our movement for justice?

This isn't a crazy idea.

We deserve better. John,  Congress needs more people who can lead knowing firsthand how our communities are impacted by the decisions made in Washington. Too many of our representatives today are driven by lobbyists, hefty campa…
