Think Act Lead encourages elected officials and candidates to pledge themselves to these reforms!
We need a "Women’s Bill of Rights" that features 10 issues vital to women’s equality.
We need a woman’s right to reproductive health and choice.
We need "Empowerment Scholarships" that will help disadvantaged minority students afford the costs of a college education, available for students who demonstrate need and earn a certain school attendance record and GPA.
We must oppose the practice of racial profiling by police departments.
We must oppose the death penalty for a number of reasons, one of them being the unacceptable disparity with which members of ethnic minority groups are sentenced to death.
We need anti-discrimination efforts to "level the playing field" and ensure a non-discriminatory workplace.
Our courts should recognize the rights of same-sex couples with respect to living wills, adoption, and recognition of marriage.
We must balance the war on terror with the protection of fundamental civil liberties, as we must balance our First Amendment freedoms with the ugly reality of hate crimes.
We need full enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and more federal support for vocational education and rehabilitative education in schools.
We should establish a trust fund to create "Community Smart Parks" (a.k.a. "boundless parks")– completely accessible playgrounds to accommodate the needs of all children regardless of their physical disability.
