DESCRIPTION:What is Happening in Turkey? \n\n\nPeople of Turkey have spoken: We will 
 not be oppressed!\n\nMillions are outraged by the violent reaction of their 
 government to a peaceful protest aimed at saving Istanbul’s Gezi 
 Park.\n\nOutraged, yet not surprised.\n\nOver the course of Prime Minister 
 Erdoğan’s ten-year term, we have witnessed a steady erosion of our civil 
 rights and freedoms. Arrests of numerous journalists, artists, and elected 
 officials and restrictions on freedom of speech, minorities’ and 
 women’s rights all demonstrate that the ruling party is not serious about 
 democracy. \n\nTime and again, the Prime Minister has mocked and 
 trivialized his nation’s concerns while Turkey’s own media have 
 remained shamefully silent. \n\nThe people protesting bravely throughout 
 Turkey are ordinary citizens. We span several generations and represent a 
 spectrum of ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, ideological, sexual, and 
 gender identities. We stand united because of our concern for Turkey’s 
 future. Our future.\n\nWe demand an end to police brutality. \nWe demand a 
 free media. \nWe demand open democratic dialogue between citizens and those 
 elected to public service, not the dictates of special interests.\nWe 
 demand an investigation of the government’s recent abuse of power, which 
 has led to the loss of innocent lives. \n\nJoin the conversation and stand 
 with us in solidarity. \n\nHelp out by signing this petition:
