Only we can stop this! The answer to White supremacy is BLACK UNITY! Traitors must GO!

An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives

Co-sponsor H.R. 1478, the Federal Firearms Licensee Act.

542 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

As your constituent, I'm writing to ask that you co-sponsor H.R. 1478, the Federal Firearms Licensee Act. This is a groundbreaking gun safety bill that will help keep guns off our streets by providing law enforcement with the tools necessary to crack down on gun trafficking and the rogue gun sellers that perpetuate it. The laws that govern gun dealers are outdated—and that's what makes them dangerous. By modernizing and strengthening the federal laws that gun dealers must follow, this legislation will ensure that gun sales are done responsibly, securely, and safely, and that the dealers who fail to do so are held accountable. Please co-sponsor the Federal Firearms Licensee Act to make sure gun dealers are required to do their part to stop this deadly crisis.

The Cost of Marijuana Prohibition: Examining Criminal Justice Reform

Disproportionate Incarceration: The criminalization of marijuana has led to a significant number of individuals, particularly from marginalized communities, being incarcerated for non-violent marijuana offenses. This has contributed to the issue of mass incarceration and strained the criminal justice system.

Economic Implications: Enforcing marijuana prohibition incurs substantial costs, including law enforcement resources, court proceedings, and incarceration expenses. Legalizing and regulating marijuana can create new revenue streams through taxation, job creation, and economic growth.

Racial Disparities: Marijuana prohibition has disproportionately affected minority communities, leading to racial disparities in arrest and conviction rates. Criminal justice reform aims to address these disparities and promote equity by reevaluating marijuana policies and implementing fair and just alternatives.

Prop 36: The New Drug War?

Governor Newsom is making headlines with his vocal opposition to California's Proposition 36, calling it a regressive measure that revives the failed "War on Drugs." Proponents say it’s a necessary step to curb the surge in shoplifting. But critics argue it will undo decades of progress in drug policy reform. Do you think Prop 36 is a step back to outdated policies, or a necessary measure for today’s crime rates? Share your thoughts below!

The year 2024 will mark a historic moment in American cinema with the launch of the first-ever film festival held within a prison – the San Quentin Film Festival (SQFF). Scheduled for October 10th at the San Quentin State Prison near San Francisco, this groundbreaking event promises to be a powerful catalyst for change, fostering collaboration between incarcerated individuals and the entertainment industry. The Inaugural San Quentin Film Festival A Unique Platform for Storytelling SQFF is a one-day event designed to amplify the voices of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated storytellers. The festival will showcase a curated selection of: New Feature Films: These films, produced in 2023-2024, will delve into the complexities of the prison experience, offering audiences a deeper understanding of the lives behind bars. Short Films by Incarcerated Filmmakers: A dedicated competition will provide a platform for incarcerated individuals to share their unique perspectives through short narratives and documentaries. This unique blend of established voices and emerging talent promises a diverse and thought-provoking cinematic experience. More Than Entertainment: A Catalyst for Reform The SQFF goes beyond entertainment, aiming to spark meaningful dialogue about the American justice system and advocate for prison reform. The festival aligns with California Governor Gavin Newsom's vision for prison rehabilitation, emphasizing programs that equip incarcerated individuals with skills and opportunities to reintegrate into society. One such program is ForwardThis, the first film and TV production job training program housed within an American prison, established at San Quentin in 2021. SQFF serves as a natural extension of ForwardThis, providing a platform for graduates to showcase their talents and potentially launch careers in the entertainment industry. A Festival Rooted in Personal Experience The driving force behind SQFF is a powerful combination of experience and passion. Festival co-director Rahsaan Thomas, himself formerly incarcerated at San Quentin, understands the transformative power of filmmaking firsthand. While incarcerated, Thomas directed the award-winning short documentary "Friendly Signs," demonstrating the artistic potential that flourishes within prison walls. Cori Thomas (no relation to Rahsaan), a playwright and longtime San Quentin volunteer, is the festival's originator. Her vision is to create a platform for incarcerated individuals to reclaim their narratives and challenge public perceptions. This dedication from those with a deep understanding of the prison system ensures that SQFF will be a powerful tool for social change. Building Pathways to Hollywood SQFF is more than just a film festival; it's a bridge to Hollywood careers. The festival offers several opportunities for incarcerated filmmakers: Film Competitions: A jury of incarcerated filmmakers will judge narrative and documentary features, with screenings held at the prison chapel. Best Pitch Award: Current residents of San Quentin can compete for the "Best Pitch Award" by presenting their narrative or documentary film ideas. The winner will receive mentorship from an established figure in the entertainment industry. By providing these opportunities, SQFF aims to empower incarcerated individuals to pursue careers in the film industry upon release. Limited Attendance, Global Impact Due to capacity limitations at San Quentin, physical festival attendance will be restricted to entertainment industry executives, filmmakers, judges, donors, and select press. However, the impact of SQFF will extend far beyond the prison walls. The festival plans to offer a virtual screening pass for the general public, allowing audiences worldwide to experience the films showcased at the event. This broadens the festival's reach, fostering public awareness and sparking conversations about criminal justice reform. A Dream Team for Social Change SQFF boasts an impressive advisory board comprised of prominent figures from the entertainment industry, including: Nina Jacobson (Producer) Taylor Hackford (Director) Nancy Weill (Director) Jane Rosenthal (CEO, Tribeca Film Festival) Nancy Lefkowitz (EVP, Tribeca Film Festival) This esteemed group provides valuable guidance and connections, ensuring the festival's success in achieving its social impact goals.

Support for Donald Trump

Economic Growth: Supporters argue that under Donald Trump's presidency, the United States experienced significant economic growth. They point to factors such as reduced regulations, tax cuts, and job creation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is often highlighted as a major achievement, which lowered corporate tax rates and provided relief for individuals, resulting in increased business investment and higher employment rates.

Trade Policies: Trump's supporters appreciate his approach to trade, particularly his emphasis on protecting American industries and workers. They argue that his implementation of tariffs aimed at reducing trade deficits and renegotiating trade deals, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), helped protect domestic industries and promote fairer trade practices.

Criminal Justice Reform: The First Step Act, signed into law during Trump's presidency, received bipartisan support and is praised for its efforts to reform the criminal justice system. Supporters highlight that it aimed to reduce recidivism rates, expand rehabilitative programs, and provide opportunities for nonviolent offenders to reintegrate into society.

Deregulation: Trump's administration was known for its deregulatory agenda, which aimed to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses. Supporters argue that this approach fostered innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation, allowing the economy to flourish.

Defense and National Security: Trump's supporters often point to his commitment to rebuilding the military and prioritizing national security. They highlight the increase in defense spending, efforts to modernize the military, and the elimination of ISIS's territorial caliphate as significant accomplishments.

Immigration Policies: Supporters appreciate Trump's tough stance on immigration, arguing that his policies aimed to protect national security and prioritize American citizens. They point to measures such as stricter border control, travel restrictions from certain countries, and efforts to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as necessary steps to enforce immigration laws and secure the borders.
