VCU Students for Sensible Drug Policy is trying to enact a medical amnesty policy at our university.Medical Amnesty Policies are life-saving measures that enable people to make responsible decisions by shielding them from punishment when they call for medical help during an emergency relating to alcohol or other drugs. Since the threat of punitive policies can often cause hesitation during confusing and stressful party situations, the existence of a Medical Amnesty Policy is essential to ensuring that people are able to stay alive and receive help when they are in trouble.
There are nearly 25 million veterans living among us, in every state and territory and from every walk of life. Veterans Day was created to thank veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who have served, both dead and alive, have sacrificed and done their duty.

When service men and women deploy, families are separated sometimes a year at a time. That is a lot of missed soccer, basketball or football games. There are many important family milestones missed, births, birthdays, first steps etc.

injustice against native people. loss of indigenous cultures, lifeways, languages, songs, traditions. loss of interconnectedness with all things. bad health, disease, abuse, neglect, all learned habits from colonizers upon native peoples. historical trauma begining with columbus' 'landing' in 1492 still continuing today.

What: Paramus is located less than ten miles from New York City. We suffered great losses on September 11th. Even though eight years have passed, the hurt still lingers. In January of 2007 I decided to initiate a Freedom Walk. The walk is aimed at honoring those touched by 9/11….. a mother or father who lost a child or a child who lost a parent: the First Responders who lost their lives or the ones who saved lives: soldiers who served to keep us free and the ones who are serving now. Its a day were people STOP, to remember.

As we all know, the youth played a major role in the success of the Obama campaign. However, it is one thing to vote for change and another to make change happen. The youth is aware of the challenges we face, but they are craving to know what they can actively do to cause change. People must change first, then the government will follow.
Journey of Action's mission is to inspire the youth to become global citizens. We must educate our youth and encourage them to actively participate in their local community and our global community.
In July, three American backpackers were detained in Iran and charged with illegally crossing the boarder from Iraq. On Monday, a Tehran prosecutor announced that the three are being charged with spying.
The announcement of the charges comes only days after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met privately with the families of Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal, who family say crossed the border by mistake. Their family and friends say it was an innocent mistake.
