Subject: Take action against DHS using private Ohio prison to hold immigrants
As you may have heard, DHS is currently looking to contract with Corrections Corporation of America to hold immigrants in the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center in Youngstown prior to deportation. Use of private prisons are bad policy for a variety of reasons and utilizing them to hold even more people is a terrible idea.
We are asking our friends around Ohio to utilize the action alert linked to below to let their elected representatives know they oppose this plan.
Here is a link to the action alert -- www.acluohio.org/action/For-ProfitDetention

The most recent polls by NBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Politics, The Washington Post and Reuters show voters prefer that Democrats take control of both the House and the Senate.
But it gets better. The latest from The New York Times indicates that Democrats could overcome enough gerrymandered districts to take the 30 seats needed to send Paul Ryan back to the minority.
This runs counter to a mountain of conventional wisdom about the mood of the country.
Americans are ready to reject the cynicism and corruption of the Republican party. The question is, what will we offer in its place?
Are we ready to do something about the 27 million Americans (including 2.6 million children) who are still uninsured?
Are we willing to take on the corporations and face up to the reality of global warming?
Are we able to build a governing majority that can create good jobs, close corporate loopholes, and make paid family leave a right, not a privilege?
Hell yes!

Subject: FW: USCIS Announces Final Rule Adjusting Immigration Benefit Application and Petition Fees
(The following news release was posted today on our website.)
First fee increase in six years to take effect Dec. 23...
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a final rule published in the Federal Register today adjusting the fees required for most immigration applications and petitions. The new fees will be effective Dec. 23.
USCIS is almost entirely funded by the fees paid by applicants and petitioners for immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine the funding levels necessary to administer the nation's immigration laws, process benefit requests and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities.
Fees will increase for the first time in six years, by a weighted average of 21 percent for most applications and petitions. This increase is necessary to recover the full cost of services provided by USCIS. These include the costs associated with fraud detection and national security, customer service and case processing, and providing services without charge to refugee and asylum applicants and to other customers eligible for fee waivers or exemptions.
The final rule contains a table summarizing current and new fees. The new fees are also listed on the Form G-1055, Fee Schedule, and website. Applications and petitions postmarked or filed on or after Dec. 23 must include the new fees or USCIS will not be able to accept them.
"This is our first fee increase since November 2010, and we sincerely appreciate the valuable public input we received as we prepared this final rule," said USCIS Director León Rodríguez. "We are mindful of the effect fee increases have on many of the customers we serve. That's why we decided against raising fees as recommended after the fiscal year 2012 and 2014 fee reviews. However, as an agency dependent upon users' fees to operate, these changes are now necessary to ensure we can continue to serve our customers effectively. We will also offer a reduced filing fee for certain naturalization applicants with limited means."
Changes in the new fee schedule can be found here. Highlights follow:
- A modest fee increase of $45, or 8 percent, from $595 to $640 for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.
- USCIS will offer a reduced filing fee of $320 for naturalization applicants with family incomes greater than 150 percent and not more than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. For 2016, this means, for example, that a household of four with an income between $36,000 and $48,600 per year could pay the reduced fee. Those eligible may apply for this option using the new Form I-942, Request for Reduced Fee.
- The fee for Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, and N-600K, Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322, will increase from $550 or 600 to $1,170.
- A new fee of $3,035 is required for Form I-924A, Annual Certification of Regional Center.
In preparing the final rule, USCIS considered all 436 comments received during the 60-day public comment period for the proposed rule published May 4.

| Submit your comment: Protect Native tribes and say NO to dirty coal exports | Submit a public comment to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
"I do not support the Millennium Bulk Terminal project, and I urge you to take the 'no action' alternative in the Millennium Bulk Terminal's national Draft Environmental Impact Statement. This project would endanger the health and safety of the surrounding community, trample on tribal rights, and dramatically increase carbon pollution." |
Once again, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is on the verge of rubber stamping a massive fossil fuel infrastructure project that would trample Native American rights and fuel runaway climate change.
The proposed Millennium Bulk Terminal port in Longview, Washington would be the largest coal export terminal in America and ship 44 million tons of coal each year from mines in Montana and Wyoming overseas. The Army Corps just released its own glowing Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of the project that glosses over many of the environmental consequences and completely ignores the impact the project would have on Northwestern tribal rights and climate change.1
The Army Corps is accepting public comments on the proposed terminal, and we need as many comments opposing this terrible idea as possible to stop this project before it gets off the ground.
Tell the Army Corps of Engineers: Protect tribal rights, combat climate change and stop the largest coal export terminal in America. Click here to submit your comment.
If completed, the project would spread toxic coal dust throughout communities in the Northwest, directly threatening the health of residents through toxic air and water pollution. And the terminal, if built, would be one of the biggest greenhouse-gas emitters in Washington.
As they did with the Dakota Access pipeline in the upper Midwest, the Army Corps is again ignoring the impact fossil fuel projects have on tribal communities. According to Washington's environmental study, the effects on Native Northwestern tribal fishing could be enormous, saying the mile-long uncovered coal trains "would cause physical or behavioral responses in fish or affect aquatic habitat in the Columbia River. These impacts could reduce the number of fish surviving to adulthood and returning to areas upstream of Bonneville Dam, thereby affecting the number of fish available for harvest by the tribes in the Columbia River."2
Earlier this year, the Lummi tribe and allies defeated the proposed Gateway Pacific coal terminal in Washington for violating tribal fishing rights.3 And more recently in the upper Midwest, the ongoing protests by the Standing Rock Sioux and thousands of activists have forced the government to acknowledge its failings in its approach to tribal rights. Recently, when a judge refused to issue an injunction on the Dakota Access pipeline, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice halted the pipeline's construction on Native land anyway, saying "this case has highlighted the need for a serious discussion on whether there should be nationwide reform with respect to considering tribes' views on these types of infrastructure projects.4
This time, however, the Army Corps is completely ignoring any impact the coal train routes would have on tribal communities and is also taking a dangerous and narrow view of carbon emissions. They are ignoring the 27 million tons per year of net carbon-dioxide emissions that would result from burning the coal overseas.5
Tell the Army Corps of Engineers: Protect tribal rights, combat climate change, and stop the largest coal export terminal in America. Click here to submit your comment.
This spring, 250,000 people – including 85,000 CREDO activists – spoke out to stop this project after Washington issued its EIS. Activists have been making hundreds of phone calls and packing public hearings at every opportunity. But the coal industry isn't giving up easily, and we need to continue fighting to keep dirty coal in the ground where it belongs.
At a time when sovereign tribal nations are under attack by the fossil-fuel industry, we should not be investing millions more in a dirty project that tramples tribal rights and further promotes climate change. Let's make sure regulators hear us loud and clear that this project is dirty, dangerous and violates the rights of Native tribes.

Subject: No Pipeline on Indigenous Land
Over the weekend, 141 peaceful Indigenous warriors and allies were maced and arrested for defending their land from the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). And with winter coming, even tougher times are ahead for the water protectors in North Dakota. President Obama has already proven he can halt construction: stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in demanding he permanently reject the pipeline now as part of his climate legacy.
Besides violating sovereign treaty rights and desecrating sacred sites, the pipeline is a ticking time bomb: its route crosses the Ogallala Aquifer and the Missouri River, meaning that a leak could poison the drinking water of millions of people. Sunoco Logistics, the company responsible for operating the DAPL, spilled 55,000 gallons of gasoline into the Susquehanna River just last week.
Over 50 tribes from around the world have come together in an unprecedented show of unity and resistance, and this weekend, peaceful warriors moved their camp directly into the path of the pipeline.
Other98 has the great honor of working directly with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to stop this pipeline. The permits aren't final yet: join us in telling President Obama to use his remaining days in office to reject the DAPL permanently.
This President has taken a number of audacious actions against Big Oil, including his rejection of the Keystone Pipeline and drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Now we must convince him that rejection of the Dakota Access Pipeline could be a central pillar in the Obama Climate Legacy.
President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers can stop this pipeline. Over 65,000 folks have already signed our petition — help us get to 100,000 before we deliver to the President. Join us and add your name today.

Subject: They're doing WHAT to Native women???
Right now, Native women are being strip-searched and jailed in Standing Rock, North Dakota.1
The women, who are members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, have been peacefully protesting to stop the construction of an oil pipeline that would destroy sacred sites and threaten the water supply for millions of families. In response, North Dakota authorities have started to arrest, strip-search, and hold protesters for days without bond. One woman was arrested without any cause given, stripped naked, and left naked in a jail cell overnight.2
The protests have gotten a ton of national attention, but not many know about the abusive arrests and violent strip searches. The Department of Justice, which officially sided with the resistance efforts a few weeks back, has the authority to step in and stop local authorities from abusing the law.3 If we speak up in huge numbers, the Department of Justice will intervene again.
Tell the U.S. Department of Justice: Stop the sexual humiliation of water protectors by Morton County police. |
|
If you thought the abuse of Native women and families is a thing of the past, you're wrong. Oil pipeline leaks are notoriously common--and poisonous. That's why the construction of the North Dakota Access Pipeline was moved away from the state capitol, where state officials with more political power were afraid of the damage the pipeline would cause. Instead, it's being built under the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's and millions of other people's main source of drinking water.4
These water protectors, who are also currently fighting the pipeline in court, have been facing increasing terror from local authorities trying to further the pipeline's construction. Authorities have begun to deploy military-grade weapons, attack dogs, drones, and now sexual humiliation as a way to stop the protests.5
The good news is that, a few weeks ago, the Department of Justice sided with water protectors and ordered the pipeline construction temporarily halted. If we speak up by the thousands with the water protectors, the Department of Justice will step in once more to stop the violent arrests.
Will you stand up against the unlawful detention of Standing Rock Sioux women?

Dear Donald J. Trump,
I am disgusted by your campaign.
You called Mexicans rapists. You mocked a disabled reporter. You openly discriminated against racial and religious minorities. And you have bragged about sexually assaulting countless women.
Do you have no shame? Enough is enough.
In response to your sickening behavior, I am making a contribution to the Progressive Turnout Project to guarantee that you and the Republicans who support you lose in a landslide this year.
I am committed to making sure that you don't just lose -- but that you lose by so much that it's embarrassing.
Because your 'leadership' (if you can even call it that) has spread fear and hate across the country that I love.
And I will not stand for your bigotry.

Subject: Possible landslide??
It's official. The polls seem to be shifting big time in favor of Democrats, with down-ballot Republicans FINALLY beginning to drown in Donald Trump's wake.
But here's the reality: Trumpism is here to stay.
It's taken root in the Republican base. And the Republican Party is NOT going to be the party to push back against it.
That's why it's so important that we not just win this election. We need to CRUSH.
We need to defeat Trump in a landslide, take back the Senate with the biggest Democratic majority possible, and, yes, take back the House.
Please give now to help run the table and deal Trump Republicans the biggest defeat of their lives>>
We're talking about delivering a wave election, and a federal government in the hands of Democrats because, quite simply, Republicans can't be trusted to stand up to the wild bigotry and ultranationalist extremism that is Trumpism.
It's no secret: the modern Republican Party is NOTORIOUS for following the whims of the most extreme elements of its right-wing base.
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell aren't going to rein in the extremists in their caucuses who will be falling all over themselves to kowtow to the passionate Trump supporters in their districts.
The only chance America has of putting an end to the rise of Trumpism is to make it so costly for the Republican Party that they are forced to abandon it altogether. That means a major defeat at all levels of government -- federal and in the states.
The White House. The Senate. The House. And major gains in state legislatures. We need it all -- and that's because we're at a crossroads in American history and we MUST take this chance to reject the bigoted and divisive demagoguery of Trump Republicans' movement.
Please give what you can now to help us drive home historic progressive victories in these final two weeks of the election!>>

Subject: FW: I never thought I'd vote for Clinton
I just wanted to make sure you saw Michael Moore's message from the other day.
I just got back from Ohio, where I performed and filmed a one-man show in front of an audience consisting of many undecided voters, third-party voters, former Bernie supporters like me, people who are thinking of not voting—and yes, even Trump supporters, many of whom used to be part of the middle class and are now justifiably angry and thinking of Trump as their means of revenge against a system that has left them behind.
It was clear while I was in Ohio—and it's clear as I sit here at home in Michigan, also a battleground state—that this election could go seriously, seriously wrong, especially if there's low voter turnout. I can't knock on enough doors to swing the election by myself. Which is why I'm writing you today with a simple request:
Will you chip in to help fund MoveOn's work to turn out voters in key swing states like Ohio?
Donate: $5 $35 $100 or Another amount
While I was making my new movie, "Michael Moore In TrumpLand," I spoke to many Trump supporters, and I've gotta tell you: They are decisive, organized, and disciplined. They are up at 5 a.m., organizing for their candidate.
And let's be honest: For a number of reasons, there are a lot of progressive-leaning voters who aren't yet tuned in or fiercely committed to voting for Hillary Clinton. They might vote, but they need a personal reminder about why this is so important.
And then look at the hurdles that are thrown up to stop poor, Black, and Latino folks from voting. There are longer lines in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods in big cities, and many states have discriminatory voter purges and ID laws. Voter suppression is what our side faces every election.
We can win only if we get out the vote and protect the right to vote. We have to do EVERYTHING WE CAN DO to stop Trump, repudiate his politics on Election Day, and hold Republicans up and down the ballot accountable for his toxic campaign.
And that's what MoveOn is doing, especially in key swing states. Which is why I'm asking you:
Will you chip in to help fund MoveOn's work to turn out voters—and protect the right to vote—in key swing states? Click below now if you can.
Donate: $5 $35 $100 or Another amount
Working hard from now to Election Day is critical—both to keep Trump out of the White House and to take back the Senate.
After meeting so many Trump supporters, I have to tell you quite honestly that Trump could still win the White House. He may win, in part, because so many Hillary supporters—thanks to her stunning victories in the debates and his continued implosions—have now sat back, relieved and confident that the "election is in the bag!" Maybe you feel the same way, or maybe not.
No matter what you think about Clinton's chances right now, our task from now through Election Day is clear: We must turn out voters. Because we need to be absolutely sure that Trump loses. And we need to make sure we get a Democratic Senate—one with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren leading the way.
Are you with me and MoveOn? If yes, please chip in now.
Donate: $5 $35 $100 or Another amount
Let's make sure we win this. And let's try to win resoundingly—so that we can take back the Senate, send Trump to the dustbin of history, and show other would-be Trumps that America is better than this. Misogyny, racism, and narcissistic greed are being proudly represented on this November ballot by its messianic candidate. Together, let's send a powerful message that their days are over.
—Michael Moore
P.S. If you want to see my new movie, just click here to get it from iTunes. At my request, they've made it affordable for everyone. Also, MoveOn and I are working together to give voters in swing states more opportunities to see the film. Tell your friends about the movie, and then go knock on some doors or make some calls, for victory on November 8!
Want to support MoveOn's work? Senator Elizabeth Warren says, "I'm so enthusiastic about MoveOn's smart and targeted plan to hire a network of organizers in key battleground states to mobilize and train volunteers to knock on hundreds of thousands of doors. It's bold and ambitious—and exactly what is needed to help swing Senate races, resoundingly defeat Donald Trump, and give Democrats a fighting chance to take back the House."
