H.R. 7: An Attack on Public Transit = An Attack on Civil RightsH.R. 7 would gut a reliable source of funds for mass transit, which may further cripple transit systems around the country and hurt millions of people who depend on public transportation to reach jobs, doctor appointments, schools, and other necessities of everyday life. >>Tell members of Congress to vote “NO” on H.R. 7! "Not by the Color of Their Skin"Racial profiling refers to the practice used primarily by law enforcement officials of targeting and/or treating individuals unfairly based on their perceived race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. The act of racial profiling was wrong when King urged its end; and it is wrong now. >>Call members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor and pass the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA)! Tell Senators: We Need Jobs Now!President Obama's American Jobs Act must be considered by the Senate. We need real solutions to address the jobs crisis. It is time to put Americans back to work. Write Your Senators: Demand Confirmation VotesThe Constitution calls for senators to “advise and consent” on the president’s judicial nominations. But instead of following this process, a small group of senators has waged a persistent campaign of obstruction that has led to an unprecedented backlog of judicial branch nominees awaiting unable to receive consideration by the full Senate. This stonewalling for political gain leads to courtrooms without judges and people across the country unable to access the courts. Want Some Help?
