	A	B
1	Petition	Summary

2	Abolish prison labor in the U.S.	Prison labour is a form of modern American slavery used by multiple large corporations across the world. Racial justice in the USA cannot be achieved until prison labour is abolished completely.
3	Black Lives Matter Petition: #DefundThePolice	We demand acknowledgment and accountability for our pain and injustice We demand divestment in the police force We demand investment in the health and prosperity of our communities We need to #DefundThePolice.
4	Defund the Berkeley PD	We call on the City of Berkeley to divest from the police and invest in life-affirming institutions!
5	Defund the Seattle PD	Our schools, workplaces, and government offices frequently collaborate with police. The police are an occupying force in Black communities. Their brutality towards Black people is condoned and accepted as business as usual. We urge all local governmental and non-governmental entities to cut ties with the SPD.
6	Demand a retrial for Angel Bumpass	Angel Bumpass is a 23-year old female falsely accused of committing a murder when she was 13. As of March 27,2020 Angel has a motion for new trial. We need to make sure the new trial is granted and this time the trial is fair.
7	Disbarment of George E. Barnhill	We are calling for the disbarment of prosecutor George E. Barnhill. We feel his decision to sit on the case of Ahmaud Arbery's murder for three months was out of prejudice/racism and a personal relationship with the murderers.
8	End Contract Between Seattle Public Schools and the Seattle PD	Students and our allies call on Superintendent Juneau and the Seattle School Board to sever all existing contracts and cut any financial ties with the Seattle Police Department.
9	Exonerate Eric Riddick	Eric Riddick was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 after he was wrongfully convicted of first degree murder, despite there being no physical evidence connecting him to the crime. His conviction was solely based on a single eyewitness testimony, which was first recanted in 1999. Since then, the key witness has signed multiple affidavits that Eric was not connected to the crime.
10	Fight for Breonna	Sign the petition to demand justice for Breonna Taylor. On the night of March 13th, the Louisville Metro Police executed a warrant, looking for drugs they never found, reportedly trafficked by a person who did not live with Breonna or in her complex-and whom they already had in custody. They sprayed her home with 20 rounds, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her in her bed.
11	Fire Racist Criminal Michael J Reynolds from the NYPD	An NYPD officer went to Nashville, TN, for a bachelor's party, and broke into his neighbors home by kicking in the door, then assaulted them while calling them racial slurs. Because our criminal justice system is profoundly broken, "It ended with Reynolds getting [only] about two weeks in jail and three years probation." To make matters worse, this racist criminal is still employed by the NYPD. Michael J Reynolds needs to be fired immediately!
12	Free Jennifer Jeffley	Jennifer Jeffley was 15 years old when she was arrested for the murder of Maria Palomina. A murder that she did not commit. Innocent of the crime that she was convicted of, Jennifer has been behind bars more than 20 years serving a life sentence. We are pleading with Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, to free Jennifer.
13	Free Julius Jones	Julius Jones is innocent. Don't let him be executed by the state of Oklahoma.
14	Issue a State executive order to hold police accountable for unlawful action	It is my hope that our Governor Gavin Newsom sees this proposal and takes the actions necessary to properly protect all of the citizens he has sworn to protect.
15	Jail time for D.M. and J.R.	On Saturday, May 30th, 2020, there were peaceful protests in Visalia, CA. At approximately 3:18pm, two Trump supporters ran over an innocent civilian in a blue jeep. Their names are D.M and J.R.Sign this petition to show your support for our cause and to make sure these men face actual punishment. We cannot allow acts of targeted, hateful violence in our city. We will not be silenced.
16	Justice for Ahmaud Arbery	On February 23, 2020, 25 year-old Ahmaud Arbery was chased and gunned down by Travis McMichael. McMichael’s questionable account of events and the police department’s poor communication efforts following Arbery’s death leads us to believe that Arbery was a victim of racial profiling. No one has the right to pursue, attack and kill an unarmed, non-threatening individual. Ahmaud’s voice will be heard.
17	Justice for Big Floyd	Please join us in demanding justice for George Floyd and his family by adding your name to our super petition. When you sign, our platform will automatically send your message to County Attorney Michael Freeman, who has the power to arrest and charge these police officers.
18	Justice for Cameron Lamb	On December 3, 2019 Cameron Lamb drove home by himself after having an argument with his girlfriend. The police narrative was of him driving recklessly in residential areas, which had happened prior to his execution, but was not taking place in the garage in his home when they killed him. WE WANT CHARGES FILED NOW.

1	Action	Involvement	Summary

2	Become a penpal through Black & Pink	Ongoing	Become a penpal to an incarcerated LGBTQIA2S+ person. This helps with harm reduction and gives them a support network outside of prison.
3	Become a penpal through Prisoner Correspondence Project	Ongoing	Prisoners often identify the isolation as the most debilitating part of a prison sentence, but a prison correspondence can often provide much more than emotional support. When a prisoner receives mail at mail call, it indicates to the guards and other prisoners that someone outside is paying attention and that whatever happens will be noticed.
4	Boycott companies that still use prison labor.	One-time and ongoing	Look through this list of companies that still use prison labor, and see which you can cut ties with today! Do not support prison labor!
5	Complete this pod-mapping activity to identify who in your community you can reach out to & rely on (instead of the police)	One-time	Your pod is made up of the people that you would call on if violence, harm or abuse happened to you; or the people that you would call on if you wanted support in taking accountability for violence, harm or abuse that you’ve done; or if you witnessed violence or if someone you care about was being violent or being abused.
