The United States locks up more of its people that any other nation. We have almost 5 percent of the world’s population, but 23 percent of the world’s prisoners. Delaware imprisons at a rate even higher than the extreme U.S. average—a rate that is 81 percent higher than New Jersey’s. Most people’s journey into the criminal justice system begins with police interaction. Ending the era of mass incarceration means dismantling the approaches that came to define criminal justice in the 1980s, including practices by police officers/departments and the systems that fail to oversee and hold them accountable. Why focus on General Assembly candidates? General Assembly members are democratically elected to decide the laws by which the citizens are governed. They have a difficult and important job, and have a great deal of responsibility for the current state of all State and local police departments. Our Platform Fairness, Transparency and Accountability The next General Assembly members must recognize that trust is difficult for many community members to have in law enforcement. Restoring and sustaining trust can only be attained by allowing the public to know about the results of investigations into police misconduct and the outcomes. Without transparency in the process, the public may remain suspicious that officers are not held accountable for their actions. Transparency benefits law enforcement as well by demonstrating when officers acted appropriately. ● Collect and make public police data Too little information about police departments and officers is made public. This lack of transparency prevents the community from knowing what decisions are being made or the outcomes of those decisions. Fully transparent practices and outcomes improve decision- making, allow the public to hold the General Assembly and police accountable, and enable the public to push for change in the future. Our lawmakers must commit to tracking and publishing details and statistics about police misconduct, arrests, stops and use of force, including disparities that these activities may produce. ● Implement body-worn cameras Body-worn cameras may result in better transparency and accountable,

We write to echo the President’s sentiments and strongly urge Amazon to respect a free and fair National Labor Relations Board election in Bessemer, Alabama that will have implications for workers all across the nation, including several thousand of our constituents in Delaware. Amazon has realized enormous success through the pandemic, reaping record profits while continuing to grow and expand its services to an ever greater number of customers. While technology and innovation play key roles in Amazon’s unprecedented achievements in the world of commerce, your company is built on its workers. Your professional accomplishments and your personal fortunes are directly attributable to the productivity of Amazon’s workforce. Please remember this as you direct your company strategy related to organized labor and the fair treatment of your employees. Reports of the tactics employed by Amazon to oppose the organization effort in Alabama are troubling to say the least.

    DELAWARE GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF DELAWARE LEGISLATIVE HALL DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 May 6, 2021 Senator Thomas R. Carper 513 Hart Senate Office Building Washington DC 20510 Senator Christopher A. Coons 218 Russell Senate Office Building Washington DC 20510 Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester 1724 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Delaware Congressional Delegation: Representation is at the very heart of what we as elected officials do: We represent constituents. We represent their issues, concerns, beliefs and interests, and we take action on their behalf. It is a basic function of government that ensures that all residents have a voice in the decisions that impact their lives. But for 712,000 American citizens living just 90 miles away, representation has been denied, despite their repeated requests to be made whole. The residents of Washington, D.C., live just footsteps from the seat of the United States government, but they have no say in the public policy that is enacted there. Despite District of Columbia residents endorsing statehood via a district-wide referendum in 2016 by 86 percent, Congress has refused to take action. We write to fully endorse and support S.51, legislation from Senator Carper that would establish Washington, D.C., as the 51st state in our union. We thank Senator Coons and Representative Blunt Rochester for their support of this important and historic legislation, and we urge you to act decisively to ensure that these Americans’ voices are heard and represented. By making the District of Columbia a state, Congress will finally give District citizens full voting representation in our government, which will also give them control of their local affairs.

  • 2019 Monoblogue Accountability Project Delaware Edition
    2019 monoblogue Accountability Project Delaware Edition A voting summary for the Delaware General Assembly ©2019 Michael Swartz. Reprint permission is granted with credit to “Michael Swartz at monoblogue” (with link) Introduction I began the monoblogue Accountability Project in 2008 to grade all 188 members of the Maryland General Assembly on whether they voted in what the author considered a conservative manner or not. But in 2017 I decided to add a Delaware edition which would grade the First State's 62 legislators in a similar manner to how I rated the Maryland General Assembly because I was working in the state at the time. After the 2018 session I retired the original Maryland edition, but since my wife and I have subsequently invested in Delaware through the purchase of our house I’m now making this Delaware edition an annual guide. Like my previous Delaware editions, I will do floor votes on 25 separate bills of interest that had both House and Senate votes. Legislators are listed in alphabetical order, which makes it easy to compile votes because the tally sheets are somewhat (as I'll explain later) alphabetical in Delaware. Thus far since the 2018 election there has not been turnover in the Delaware General Assembly so all are graded on 25 votes. The method to my madness The next portion of the monoblogue Accountability Project explains why votes are tabulated as they are. The first few pages will cover the bills I used for this year’s monoblogue Accountability Project and the rationale for my determining whether a vote is “right” or “wrong.” 25 floor votes are tallied, and there is a perfect possible score of 100 for getting all 25 votes correct: a correct vote is worth four points and an incorrect vote is worth none.

  • IMPACT REPORT Dear Friends, at the Y, Strengthening Community Is at the Forefront of What We Do Each Day
    2017 YMCA OF DELAWARE IMPACT REPORT Dear Friends, At the Y, strengthening community is at the forefront of what we do each day. Our focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, ensures that we embrace and nurture the promise in all of us. The Y gives children, families and individuals the support and resources they need to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure. We believe the Y must continue to lead the way to a brighter future. Each year, more than 100,000 people of all ages and from all walks of life turn to one of our eight locations in the state of Delaware or our overnight Camp Tockwogh in Maryland for programs that nurture the potential of children and teens, improve health and well-being and empower people to give back and support neighbors. As a nonprofit, community-building charity, we strive to make our programs widely affordable and accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay. With the support of our donors, we are able to offer programs that close the achievement gap for minority and low-income youth, deliver potentially life-saving water safety lessons, prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes, support men in housing crisis and so much more! In 2017, we hit several significant milestones in our work: • We officially opened the doors of our Middletown Family YMCA. Over the course of the year, we expanded programming, providing a safe place for children in summer camp, before and after school care as well as swim lessons and water safety. • We broke ground on the 19,000 square foot vertical expansion at our Brandywine YMCA to keep pace with the growing needs of that community.

    1 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during 2017. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.
