I care about this issue because I don’t think wild animals should be born into a life of captivity just so people can look at them. Southwick’s Zoo in Massachusetts for example, is home to more than 900 animals from over 160 species. Note that when you are walking around seeing extremely large animals like tigers on less than an acre of land. Knowing places like this exist makes me wonder why breeding animals for permanent captivity is considered acceptable when they have no choice in it.  I believe animals should be rescued, rehabilitated and protected especially when they are injured or unable to survive in the wild. I don’t think animals should be continuously bred simply to maintain zoo populations. There are already federal laws regulating the treatment of certain zoo animals but those laws focus on standards of care rather than completely preventing unnecessary captive breeding.  I want people to join me because these animals cannot speak up or choose where they live. If we can create stronger federal protections we can make sure that animals are being cared for because they genuinely need our help not because they were born to be displayed.

This petition is important because Tyler Wilson Doyle has been missing since January 26, 2023, and his family is still searching for answers. Signing and sharing the petition helps keep Tyler’s case visible and shows that the public wants continued attention given to his disappearance. The more people who see Tyler’s face and learn his story, the greater the chance that someone with helpful information may come forward. Most importantly, it reminds Tyler’s family that their loved one has not been forgotten and that people are standing with them in their search for answers. Every signature, every share, and every voice matters. #BringTylerHome

Amazon Flex drivers should not have to face rising fuel prices and increasing vehicle expenses alone. Every driver who uses their own vehicle to deliver Amazon packages is directly affected by the cost of gasoline, maintenance, repairs, tires, insurance, and vehicle depreciation. When drivers come together, we can bring greater attention to an issue that affects the entire Flex community. One driver's voice can be overlooked, but thousands of drivers speaking together can demonstrate that this is a widespread concern. By signing this petition, you are standing with fellow independent contractors who are asking Amazon to recognize the real cost of making deliveries. Joining this campaign can help us: • Advocate for fairer Flex payouts. • Encourage Amazon to consider rising fuel and operating costs. • Support the implementation of a fuel surcharge or fuel-cost adjustment. • Bring greater awareness to the expenses Flex drivers absorb themselves. • Encourage a more sustainable compensation system for independent contractors. • Show Amazon that drivers across the Flex community want meaningful consideration of their concerns. This campaign is about collective action and making sure Flex drivers have a voice. If you are an Amazon Flex driver, or simply support independent contractors being fairly compensated for the costs of doing business, add your name, share this petition, and help bring attention to the issue. Together, we can ask Amazon to listen, acknowledge the rising cost of delivery, and work toward meaningful change.

We have lost so much - the Rose Garden, the East Wing, historic cherry trees. These things belong to ALL Americans. They are not the plaything of the elite or politicians. How much more are you willing to take? What's next? The National Cathedral? The Statue of Liberty? Join me in saying ENOUGH!

So that no child feels left behind. Every kid deserves a chance. It’s not about the coaches or the jerseys that they wear, it’s about each and every single kid on that team getting a chance. Regardless if they are good or not. This is not the NFL this is middle school football. 

Removing the lynching tree is important because we should remember Brooksville’s history without continuing to display a symbol connected to racial violence in the center of our community. We can honor the victims and educate future generations through a meaningful memorial or historical marker instead.

We care about this because we believe our votes should matter—and that the rules governing our government should be clear before anyone knows who will benefit from them. Imagine voting for your Representative, watching your state certify the result, and then learning that a procedural decision could prevent that Representative from participating when the new Congress organizes. Whether that happened to a Democrat or a Republican, we would want the same safeguard in place. This isn't about predicting the election or choosing sides. It's about making sure the rules are established before the outcome is known. We don't wait for a fire to decide where the exits should be. We establish the safety procedures beforehand. The House Rules Committee is already considering the rules for the 120th Congress. This is the moment to ask for clear, nonpartisan safeguards—while there is still time to put them in place. We’re signing because we want the next Congress to begin with clear rules, respect for the voters, and constitutional process—not uncertainty or last-minute decisions.

OpenAI's artificial intelligence technology recently hacked into a major company called Hugging Face all on its own. Anthropic just reported that governments used Claude to surveil populations and conduct research for a biological weapons program.1,2 Big AI corporations are unleashing their dangerous, extraordinarily powerful tech on society without guardrails. CEOs will get even richer while the rest of us face existential threats to humanity. Senator Bernie Sanders said, "Nearly every day, there is a frightening new story about how Big Tech companies are losing control of the technology they are developing, with potentially cataclysmic results."3 Congress must take immediate steps to investigate companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Send a message: Investigate runaway AI tech and demand top AI executives testify before Congress. There's bipartisan support for reining in unregulated, ultra-powerful AI, but Congress needs to move fast. States and other actors using AI to produce biological weapons is a grave threat. One expert said Anthropic's findings were "chilling examples of state-sponsored biological weapons developers tapping into the rapidly advancing capabilities" of top AI models.4 Sen. Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar introduced legislation to pause AI development, regulate the industry, and ban the creation of AI "superintelligence." It's a critical step to prevent AI-fueled crises, and 68% of voters support the legislation.5,6 Republicans on a disaster management Senate subcommittee announced a probe into OpenAI's hacking incident.7 Our lawmakers must do more to create real checks on the threats of AI. Tell Congress: Investigate Big AI now and protect society from this dangerous tech. Sources: 1. The Guardian, "OpenAI models went rogue.

Allegations of self-dealing? ✅ Abandoning longstanding safeguards? ✅ The threat of more nuclear weapons? ✅ These are just a few of the alarming concerns surrounding an unprecedented 30-year nuclear agreement between the Trump administration and the Saudi government. Congress has the power to stop this reckless deal — a deal negotiated by Trump’s family members and close allies, who stand to financially benefit while creating a more dangerous world. Together, we’ll make sure lawmakers leverage it before it’s too late. Fortunately, opposition is already building across both parties. But as a 90-day clock ticks toward this deal automatically becoming law, lawmakers need to hear from you. That means we all have a role to play in pressuring Congress to act now.

Senators Sanders, Kaine (D-VA), and Van Hollen (D-MD) are leading the charge to change a horrific status quo and end settler attacks and illegal land grabs in the West Bank — it starts with ending U.S. complicity in this violence. When the Senate returns to session, these lawmakers will invoke a powerful, rarely-used procedural rule to demand a report from the Secretary of State on human rights abuses in the West Bank. It’s a report that could result in an END to U.S. arms sales to the Israeli government. We don’t need to convince you that the violence Palestinians are experiencing is wrong; that it’s immoral or illegal. But as U.S. bulldozers and weapons help fuel this violence, we’re reminding you that you can play a key role in advocating for it to stop.

This is important because real lives are at risk and in eminent danger from the Trump administration

The current public notification process is not adequately reaching the landowners who may be most directly affected by major development decisions. When a significant project is proposed through a Conditional Use Permit rather than a zoning change, neighboring property owners may not receive direct notice. Unless they happen to regularly check a newspaper, county website, or public notice website, they may have no idea that a hearing is taking place or that a major new use is being considered near their property. That matters because the zoning process exists for a reason. When a proposed use is substantially different from the existing zoning of an area, requiring a zoning change provides greater transparency and public involvement before that change occurs. When a Conditional Use Permit is used instead, direct notification of neighboring landowners becomes especially important. A notice posted somewhere online may technically be public, but that does not mean the people most affected actually see it. Landowners should not discover after a decision has been made that a major development was approved near their homes or property without ever having known there was a hearing. Requiring mailed notice to property owners within 1,000 feet is a simple and reasonable safeguard. It does not stop development. It ensures transparency, gives affected landowners an opportunity to participate, and helps preserve public trust in the land-use process. The people closest to the impact should not be the last to know.
