Politicians rarely speak honestly about the realities of our broken criminal justice system for fear of appearing "soft on crime." But Senator Jim Webb from Virginia has just proposed a new law that will examine our criminal justice system from top to bottom and propose sweeping, systemic reforms.

Leadership like this is rare. Let's take a second to show our appreciation to Senator Webb, and let him know that we've got his back throughout this fight.

» Thank Senator Webb!

It's been more than 3 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, but the region still hasn't received the help it needs to recover.

The Gulf Coast Civic Works Act would hire 100,000 Gulf Coast residents and evacuees, providing them with training and jobs to rebuild their homes and communities. It's a solution that would give all Katrina survivors a fair chance to rebuild their lives, while revitalizing the Gulf Coast's economy and rebuilding its infrastructure.

But Congress won't approve the plan without a massive show of public support. Please call on your representative to support the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act.
