Kyrgyzstan is on the verge of passing a law that would block people from updating their identity documents, restrict medical care, and limit how parents can support their own children. This affects real families. Sign now: a.allout.org/s/vdMXm/

Kyrgyzstan is about to deny people their basic rights
A new law would prevent people from updating their identity documents, block medical care, and restrict parents from supporting children who do not conform to state-defined rules. This is a human rights emergency. Add your name.

Sickening that : 1) the homeless are vilified 2) when Trump expresses a passing whim, the bulldozers are sent in, with no reflection 3) no thought given as to why many people in the US live in such poverty, no planning for alternative arrangements www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
