This petition is not about political party, ideology, or allegiance—it is about humanity. It is about protecting children, families, and communities from fear, trauma, and injustice. Remaining silent while families suffer is not pro-life; true pro-life action defends life in every sense, including safety, dignity, and due process. By signing, you stand for what is right, not for a party or a platform. Together, we demand leadership that prioritizes the vulnerable, upholds moral responsibility, and acts with courage—because silence harms real people, and action can protect them.

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom of three, in Minneapolis. It’s a disturbing, unnecessary tragedy, and our hearts go out to her family and loved ones. In response, the White House propaganda machine went on the offensive with falsehoods that directly contradict widely shared video footage of the murder, while Secretary of Homeland Security Noem attacked the victim and defended the shooting. They’re scrambling to tell you lies to distract you from the truth: They are building a world where federal agents can terrorize communities and murder a woman in broad daylight and face no consequences. If you’ve had enough of ICE’s lawless violence, it’s time to speak out: Defund ICE!

Guns are the number one cause of death for children and teens in our country. Every one of these deaths is preventable. States with stronger gun laws consistently have lower rates of gun deaths, because gun laws save lives.  Every person deserves the right to live free from gun violence. And, we know what works. Requiring background checks for all gun sales will prevent prohibited people from accessing deadly firearms. An extreme risk law would give every family the ability to ensure their loved ones cannot access guns during a serious crisis when they are at extreme risk of danger to themselves or others.   Finally, community violence intervention programs stop violence before it starts by using credible messengers to break the cycles of gun violence in our communities. We know what works. Now we need action.

Our government rang in 2026 by bombing Venezuela’s capital, capturing its president, and announcing that the United States will “run” the country for the indefinite future to "get the oil flowing." Reminder: There is NO congressional authorization for these strikes. This operation is illegal – just as the earlier boat strikes off the Latin American coast were illegal. And yet, Trump is already threatening to rinse and repeat this horrible playbook in Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba. Trump cannot rule the United States, nor any other country, like the king he imagines himself to be. Venezuelans must have a say in their own futures, and people in the United States must mobilize to push Congress to take immediate action to rein in this lawless White House. It’s up to us, the people, to make sure lawmakers feel enough heat from constituents to stop Trump from future escalation and violence. Add your name to demand Congress pass a war powers resolution NOW.

Trump keeps telling us that he’s going to stop endless wars and lower costs. Now, he’s spending taxpayer dollars to invade Venezuela, capture its President, Nicolás Maduro, and declare that the US will now run Venezuela.  We remember the consequences of the Iraq War. We saw through George Bush’s lies and knew that war would only make everyone less safe. We were right.  This moment is a test. Trump and his advisors will be looking to see Americans' reactions to this horror. Any silence will be seen as acceptance. If we don’t loudly push back against more endless war, then the administration will escalate this violence, not just in Venezuela, but across the globe.   Maduro is a dictator who oppressed his own people. Yet this operation has nothing to do with the Venezuelan people or Venezuelan freedom. Instead, as Trump himself said, they are an attempt to build power and profit for the Trump administration and oil industry that wants Venezuela's oil reserves. Trump needs to focus on the problems we have here at home, like making sure people can afford groceries or keep their healthcare, instead he’s spending millions, and potentially billions pursuing violence overseas. It must end. Together we say: NO U.S. OCCUPATION IN VENEZUELA. 

  American citizens must demand that Congress address the pressing problems facing our nation and end the gridlock that is stagnating our legislative system, so our elected officials can get to work serving the people.    

Why This Is Important: Animal testing and abuse cause pain, fear, and suffering to living beings who cannot protect themselves. Animals feel emotions, form bonds, and experience distress just like humans do, and harming them for non-essential products such as cosmetics and household items is unnecessary and unfair. Today, science provides many cruelty-free alternatives that are safer, more accurate, and more ethical than outdated animal experiments. Protecting animals reflects our values as a society and teaches compassion, responsibility, and respect for all life.

  We, the undersigned, emphasize that Venezuela poses no real threat to U.S. national security. While our country faces serious internal challenges, any military action against Venezuela would not benefit the American people; rather, it would waste vital national resources and further destabilize the region.  Historical experience has shown that military intervention in Latin America does not lead to sustainable outcomes. Diplomacy and peaceful, strategic engagement are the best paths to ensuring America’s true security and interests.    Sign if you agree:         “War with Venezuela brings no security; let us choose peace and rationality.” 

On Thanksgiving Day, college freshman Any Lucia Lopez Belloza arrived at Logan Airport in Boston to travel home to Austin. Instead of spending the holiday with her family, she was surrounded, handcuffed, and dragged out of the airport by federal immigration agents. 48 hours later, the 19-year-old had chains placed around her wrists, waist, and ankles and — in violation of court orders — was put on a deportation flight to Honduras, a country she hadn’t seen since she was seven years old and which her family left to seek asylum in the United States. Lopez Belloza’s story is all too common amidst Trump and Stephen Miller’s heinous deportation campaign. We’ve seen this kind of injustice happen before, like when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly and illegally deported to an infamous mega-prison in El Salvador. Thanks to tireless public pressure and multiple judicial rulings, today Abrego Garcia is back with his family. Now it’s time to do the same for Any Lucia. Members of Congress, including Rep. Greg Casar (TX), Rep. Jake Auchincloss (MA), and Senator Ed Markey (MA), are already speaking out to demand her safe return. But we know it’s going to take a resounding response from an even wider swath of lawmakers to right this wrong and ensure she’s not forgotten. That starts with you.

At a moment when public trust in democratic institutions is being tested, Congress must be clear that the use of armed U.S. servicemembers to advance a political agenda—whether through deployment, intimidation, or interference in domestic affairs—undermines the checks and balances that protect our Republic. On November 19th, 2025, Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan released a video reminding members of the U.S. armed forces of their obligation to refuse illegal orders.  In response, the Trump Administration unleashed a torrent of violent rhetoric, including President Trump posting on social media that these lawmakers should perhaps be executed.  Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced a sham Pentagon investigation targeting Senator Kelly, a retired Navy Captain.  These actions violate some of the most basic principles of our democracy. We believe elected officials should ensure that members of the military know their rights and the resources available to them should they find themselves in situations where they may receive illegal orders. We call on ALL members of Congress to stand with their six colleagues and remind the Executive Branch that the United States military is not a political instrument, but an institution loyal to the Constitution and to the country, not to any president or political party.

In a shameful dereliction of duty, the House failed to pass Rep. Jim McGovern’s bipartisan War Powers Resolution (WPR) to prevent war with Venezuela. This vote offered a crucial opportunity for Congress to reassert authority over matters of war and peace as the Constitution intended. It was a razor-thin 213-211 margin, meaning that only two more “yes” votes would’ve sent a powerful, bipartisan rebuke to the Trump administration, derailing his path to war. But we can’t sugarcoat the facts: 213 representatives effectively greenlit Trump’s warmongering in Latin America — paving the way for him to bring us closer to the brink of war. It’s time to hold lawmakers accountable for taking a vote so out-of-touch with their constituents. You can make a difference and push them to change course by sending a message today. Congress must check an out-of-control president on a speedrun toward all-out war that a majority of Americans do NOT want, and we are going to do all we can to make sure this kind of failure doesn’t happen again.

We must not lose any opportunity to build affordable housing!
