  • VAWA”) Has Shined a Bright Light on Domestic Violence, Bringing the Issue out of the Shadows and Into the Forefront of Our Efforts to Protect Women and Families
    January 11, 2012 Dear Members of Congress, Since its passage in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) has shined a bright light on domestic violence, bringing the issue out of the shadows and into the forefront of our efforts to protect women and families. VAWA transformed the response to domestic violence at the local, state and federal level. Its successes have been dramatic, with the annual incidence of domestic violence falling by more than 50 percent1. Even though the advancements made since in 1994 have been significant, a tremendous amount of work remains and we believe it is critical that the Congress reauthorize VAWA. Every day in this country, abusive husbands or partners kill three women, and for every victim killed, there are nine more who narrowly escape that fate2. We see this realized in our home states every day. Earlier this year in Delaware, three children – ages 12, 2 ½ and 1 ½ − watched their mother be beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend on a sidewalk. In Maine last summer, an abusive husband subject to a protective order murdered his wife and two young children before taking his own life. Reauthorizing VAWA will send a clear message that this country does not tolerate violence against women and show Congress’ commitment to reducing domestic violence, protecting women from sexual assault and securing justice for victims. VAWA reauthorization will continue critical support for victim services and target three key areas where data shows we must focus our efforts in order to have the greatest impact: • Domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault are most prevalent among young women aged 16-24, with studies showing that youth attitudes are still largely tolerant of violence, and that women abused in adolescence are more likely to be abused again as adults.

    Helping Individuals with criminal records Re-enter through Employment RESOURCE, INFORMATION & ASSISTANCE MANUAL Established by the Legal Action Center, the National HIRE Network’s mission is to increase the number and quality of job opportunities available to people with criminal records by improving employment practices and public policies, and changing public opinion. HIRE engages in a number of activities that promote the hiring and retention of people w ho have criminal histories: Policy/Advocacy: The HIRE Network plays key roles in state and federal policy initiatives that affect people who have criminal records. The HIRE Network helps state and local policymakers make informed workforce and criminal justice decisions: HIRE w orked w ith Illinois and Delaw are legislators and advocates to successfully pass legislation that allows people who have criminal records to earn occupational licenses and certification. Our Washington, DC staff see to it that job seekers w ho have criminal records are considered in discussion of federal legislation—such as the Workforce Investment Act, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the Higher Education Act—that influence labor and criminal justice policies and practices nationw ide. Employer Support: The HIRE Netw ork understands that businesses seek to attract and retain a skilled w orkforce, keep costs dow n, and improve productivity. We also understand that although a job applicant may be highly qualified, an arrest or conviction record may make the applicant appear to be a liability rather than an asset. HIRE addresses these concerns by helping employers access qualified workers, secure liability protection, perform background checks, assess compliance with relevant state and federal laws that govern the hiring of people w ho have conviction records, and make fair and appropriate employment decisions.

  • February 22, 2012 Mr. Larry Page Chief Executive Officer Google, Inc
    February 22, 2012 Mr. Larry Page Chief Executive Officer Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear Mr. Page: We, the undersigned Attorneys General, write to express our strong concerns with the new privacy policy that Google announced it will be adopting for all of its consumer products. Until now, users of Google’s many products could use different products in different ways, expecting that information they provide for one product, such as YouTube, would not be synthesized with information they provide for another product, such as Gmail and Maps. The new policy forces these consumers to allow information across all of these products to be shared, without giving them the proper ability to opt out. Google’s new privacy policy is troubling for a number of reasons. On a fundamental level, the policy appears to invade consumer privacy by automatically sharing personal information consumers input into one Google product with all Google products. Consumers have diverse interests and concerns, and may want the information in their Web History to be kept separate from the information they exchange via Gmail. Likewise, consumers may be comfortable with Google knowing their Search queries but not with it knowing their whereabouts, yet the new privacy policy appears to give them no choice in the matter, further invading their privacy. It rings hollow to call their ability to exit the Google products ecosystem a “choice” in an Internet economy where the clear majority of all Internet users use – and frequently rely on – at least one Google product on a regular basis. This invasion of privacy will be costly for many users to escape.

  • Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes Continues a Legacy of Corruption
    Rantt Exclusive: Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes Continues A Legacy Of Corruption medium.com/rantt/utah-attorney-general-sean-reyes-continues-legacy-of-corruption-ead8281014c May 8, 2017 Part One of Our Investigation into Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes Utah AG, and Trump’s potential FTC nominee, appears to have used human trafficking busts as political props and contaminated a child pornographer’s crime scene Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) Utah is a state dominated by Republican politics, both at the local, state, and Congressional levels. And while the pervasiveness of a single party might allow for the effective advancement of legislation in deep red or blue states like California and Texas, it comes with its own inherent drawbacks. One of those is a lack of accountability and an increased 1/19 risk of corruption among state and local officials, whose focus becomes advancing the party agenda and retaining a lock-step majority rather than serving the interests of their constituents. The Utah Office of Attorney General may have become an unfortunate victim of this kind of corruption, helmed by a string of attorneys whose primary objectives appear to be either personal or political. When the current Utah Attorney General, Sean Reyes was sworn in on December 30th, 2013 at the State Capitol, he promised to usher in a new era of transparency and accountability to the office. His predecessor, John Swallow, resigned amid allegations of bribery and evidence tampering that had dogged every step of his tenure as AG. Reyes, appointed by Governor Herbert, became the new sheriff in town, charged with rolling up his sleeves and cleaning house in an office that had become infamous for corruption.
