We know Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth want more money for illegal wars and vanity projects like the “Trump battleship.” We know they’d make it happen at the expense of healthcare, education, and anti-hunger initiatives. What they failed to anticipate, however, is a massive wave of public opposition, and the powerful ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Patty Murray (D-WA), jumping in to pump the brakes on their proposed $1.5 TRILLION war budget. “I cannot accept a lopsided topline that helps defense CEOs while families get left behind,” Sen. Murray recently told reporters. She’s right. And her stance has made her a target. Now, as the pressure ratchets up on Sen. Murray to fold, particularly from her Republican counterpart, Senate Appropriations Chair Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), it’s critical we — the anti-war majority — let her know we’re with her. Can you help send Sen. Murray a resounding message of gratitude and encouragement to keep up the fight and block Trump’s reckless budget from becoming a reality?

In August 2024, Phoenix Police Officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue aggressively confronted Tyron McAlpin based on unverified allegations from a bystander. Within seconds of the encounter, body camera footage showed the officers repeatedly punching Mr. McAlpin and shocking him with a taser multiple times. Mr. McAlpin, who is deaf and lives with cerebral palsy, could not hear their commands and posed absolutely no threat. Following the violent arrest, the officers filed reports claiming Mr. McAlpin took a "fighting stance" and assaulted them. Because of these lies, Mr. McAlpin was wrongfully incarcerated for over a month before the Maricopa County Attorney's Office finally reviewed the evidence and dropped all charges. While the Police Department initially issued a minor 24-hour suspension to the officers, the Phoenix Civil Service Board voted behind closed doors to completely overturn Officer Harris's suspension and reduce Officer Sue's discipline to a mere written reprimand. Erasing what was already a minimal "slap on the wrist" is a profound insult to the disabled community and completely destroys public trust. A system that forces an innocent man to spend over a month in jail while letting the officers who beat him escape a single day of lost pay is fundamentally broken.

This policy affects every student’s ability to learn comfortably and efficiently. By signing this petition, you can make sure student concerns about privacy, accessibility, lost instructional time, and safety are heard by the people making these decisions. This not a petition against school safety; it is a petition for a policy that protects while also respecting students privacy and needs. The more students and parents who respectfully speak up, the stronger our message becomes and the more likely it is that our administration will seriously consider a better solution.

This issue is not about being against law enforcement or being against public safety. It is about deciding how much surveillance we are willing to accept in our community and ensuring that powerful technology is subject to transparency and public oversight. Flock Safety cameras are automated license plate readers. They photograph passing vehicles and record information associated with those vehicle sightings. That means the system doesn't only collect information about suspected criminals—it collects information about ordinary people going to work, taking their children to school, visiting friends, attending church, going to the doctor, or simply driving through town. That information can become searchable by law enforcement, and Flock operates a large network through which agencies can share access to vehicle data. Logan County residents deserve to know exactly who can access information collected here and what safeguards prevent that information from being misused. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ August 12, 2026 The IJ Database of ALPR Abuse The Institute for Justice has cataloged more than 100 incidents of ALPR abuse, including romantic stalking, wrongful stops and detentions, non-law enforcement use, and other types of misconduct. Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) were sold to American communities as a targeted tool for catching car thieves and finding missing people. What they actually purchased has grown into something far broader and more frightening: an AI-powered network of cameras that photograph and log the movement of every driver who passes, whether or not they are suspected of any crime.   Companies like Flock Safety have now blanketed thousands of communities with ALPRs, quietly assembling powerful mass surveillance systems that can reconstruct where people have been, when, and how often, all without a warrant.  This dragnet surveillance threatens the freedoms the Fourth Amendment was adopted to protect. These concerns aren’t just abstractions: every day, innocent people are harmed by officials’ abuse and misuse of these ALPRs. Here are just a few examples: • In Florida, a woman was stalked and pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy who saw her at a TV shoot.  • In Texas, a sheriff’s deputy used 83,000 Flock ALPRs to find a woman who had allegedly had a medication abortion, at the behest of her abusive partner.  • In Georgia, a police chief tracked his ex-girlfriend and her teenage daughter roughly 600 times. All told, the Institute for Justice (IJ) has identified well over 100 incidents of ALPR abuse, including romantic stalking, wrongful stops and detentions, non-law enforcement use, and other types of misconduct. Although this is the most comprehensive list publicly available, it may be just the tip of the iceberg. Officers rarely enter specific reasons when they search ALPR databases, and the volume of searches is so large that it would be impossible to figure out whether officers’ vague justifications are actually true.   For instance, in litigation against Norfolk, Virginia, IJ discovered that the top three search reasons (“cj,” “stolen,” and “inv”) accounted for nearly one third of 230,000 searches over two years. One officer repeatedly wrote “la la la la,” and nobody noticed. When the government can track the everyday movements of ordinary people—to their jobs, their churches, their doctors, their protests—it holds a kind of power over private life that the Constitution does not allow.  ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ There is also a basic question of effectiveness. If taxpayers are paying for a surveillance system that records thousands of innocent motorists, the public deserves evidence showing what benefit Logan County is actually receiving. How many crimes has it helped solve here? How many arrests or stolen-vehicle recoveries has it produced? How frequently is the system searched? Who has access? These are reasonable questions, and citizens should be able to ask them without being dismissed or treated with hostility. Technology that gives the government greater ability to monitor people's movements deserves greater oversight—not less. We can support law enforcement while also demanding privacy, accountability and transparency from our government. Those principles are not mutually exclusive. Please sign this petition if you believe Logan County residents deserve a meaningful voice in whether this type of surveillance continues in our community.

Over the past 350 days and counting, U.S. airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific have killed at least 221 people. More deaths are likely. Defense Secretary Hegseth just announced agreements to carry out joint military operations on land across Colombia, Guatemala, and Honduras, in addition to Ecuador. Since September 2, 2025, Hegseth’s campaign of extrajudicial killings has destroyed lives — and utterly failed to stop the flow of drugs or alleviate the overdose crisis. We see right through the Trump administration’s “war on drugs” propaganda. As we approach one year of illegal boat strikes, we’re joining partners and mobilizing activists like you to send Congress an urgent, clear demand: healthcare, not warfare.

As one person making change is hard. That’s why I need you, your voice, your action, your compassion to fight for what’s right. When we get this Data center taken down it will help influence the masses, show them that they too have the ability to scream NO! So please, help make a change. With peaceful protests and a lot of phone calls we can make the world a better place for all of us. Take back from the greedy.

This is important because mass deportation can tear families apart and have lasting effects on children, parents, and entire communities. We believe immigration enforcement should be carried out fairly and humanely, with consideration for individual circumstances and the well-being of families. No family should have to live in constant fear of being separated from a loved one. This petition is a call for compassion, due process, and policies that protect families while addressing immigration concerns responsibly.

ICE agents made between 20 and 40 arrests per day at U.S. airports last month alone, and agents have now been deployed to at least 25 airports nationwide. This surge traces directly back to a data-sharing agreement TSA signed with ICE back in May 2025.  TSA isn't just flagging people with final deportation orders, it's flagging anyone with an expired visa, including people actively working with the government to renew their status or with a legal case still pending. Immigration attorneys say ICE is under enormous pressure to hit daily arrest quotas, and this pipeline is the easiest way to do it: people come to them. Earlier this month, ICE agents detained a Georgia man on a Delta jet bridge in Atlanta, pinning him to the wall and handcuffing him, because his name happened to match someone else's. If this system can't even reliably tell citizens from the people it's targeting, no traveler is safe from it.  ICE shouldn’t have endless access to our data and travel records. Booking a flight is not permission to participate in the government’s surveillance network. Congress must take measures to protect all travelers and prevent ICE from using TSA data to fuel its deportation campaign. Demand Congress pass the No TSA Data for ICE Act!

At this point, we likely don’t need to tell you about the risks of a “U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” — the plan to effectively fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries that’s buried within this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). What you need to know is that there’s still a narrow path to stop a dangerous Pentagon-IDF partnership. Here’s the state of play: The House barely passed its version of the NDAA, separated by just four votes, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate has stopped its version in its tracks for now. The next critical juncture will likely be during conference, when lawmakers from both chambers reconcile the differences in each of their versions of the NDAA. Then, the final package will get full votes on the House and Senate floor — our last opportunity to defeat this insidious provision for good. It means there's a crucial — but narrow — runway of time for us to work in lockstep with champions who oppose this effort and get other lawmakers to join them. Until that final vote, we aren’t slowing down one second in our work to keep building on the progress we’ve already made and amass the opposition we need to stop a deeper U.S.-Israeli military partnership from becoming a reality.

Corporate executives have been using artificial intelligence to exploit, fire, abuse, and burn out workers. Meta made news already this year for using AI to track employees' keystrokes and computer activity. It sparked backlash and led 1,600 Meta workers to organize around privacy and consent in the workplace. Meta then announced it was pausing the program. From corporation to corporation, executives have laid off tens of thousands of workers, saying that AI will replace them. Bosses have forced employees to use AI, causing an outpouring of subpar work called "workslop" that is causing burn out, also known as "AI brain fry." Workers must band together to stop this corporate AI takeover in the workplace. We must also vigorously defend our rights as workers from AI-powered discrimination and abuse. Sign this petition and call on Mark Zuckerberg to put an end to any and all workplace discrimination with AI tech!  

With the removal of the GSA, the reasons given were often “prevention against political indoctrination”. This was already an attack on queer peoples identities as no one should be deemed as political for a simple characteristic. However, the formation of a Right-Leaning organization powered by Turning Point USA which in itself is a right-leaning organization, is directly against the given reasons for absolving and banning a GSA. Straight from an official turning point site (1), one of their main goals is to “win the American Culture War by instilling a love for conservatism, faith, family, and America in the hearts of the youth.” This Culture War that they reference is now being placed into High Schools and putting the students directly into the battle. This allowance of a club directly powered by TPUSA is a reflection of the administrators of Hebron High School that they are allowing their students to be placed into the line of fire. To add onto the placement of Hebron Students into political war I think it is only right to mention their now passed founder, Charlie Kirk, who they still hold highly and strive to keep his legacy alive. His views on queer and non-white people were harmful, and can be seen as an attack on students. As the removal of the GSA is still prevalent, we will look at his views on Queer individuals. I will link an article I found in the footnotes but here are a few examples (2). To any administrators reading, is this what you want queer students to think you agree with and allow to be said on campus? . August 25th, 2025, he says that anyone convicted of a hate crime for destroying a pride flag should be released, additionally stating that it should be legal to burn a Pride Flag and BLM flag. . March 3rd, 2025, when at a conference he is asked for his opinion on queer people and although he states, “What you do in the bedroom does not matter” he then follows it up with, “I don’t agree with that lifestyle.” . October 28th, 2024, Kirk wears a T-shirt saying “XY = Man”, meant to invalidate Trans peoples experiences. . June 8, 2024, Charlie Kirk akin being queer to an “error”, saying it is alike to alcoholism and drug dependency and that you should not affirm queer people in their “struggle against god” Whether Club America is removed or an opposing political club is adopted into Hebron, it will provide a layer of safety for many kids who feel attacked by this movement of right-leaning organizations into school grounds following the removal of a safe space such as a GSA. Especially after Mr. T received death threats and a large amount of pressure from Right Leaning Individuals, such as our current Texan governor Greg Abott, many queer and non-white students have felt unsafe and unaccepted in Hebron’s halls. I can attest to that fact, as I was one of them. This action will create a safe environment and help remove Hebron Students from the frontline of the culture war Club America has placed them in. We ask that the removal of Club America is considered heavily before any clubs are added on top, as ending the political encroachment would be better for the health of the students at Hebron.

A 30 minute lunch period does not mean students actually have 30 minutes to eat. Students must leave their classrooms, walk across campus, use the restroom if needed, and wait in lunch lines before they can sit down and begin eating. Depending on the length of the lunch line and where a student's previous class is located, a significant portion of the 30 minute period can be gone before a student ever receives their meal. Our students deserve enough time to eat without rushing. Lunch is not simply "free time." It is an important break in a demanding academic day. Students need adequate time to eat, decompress, socialize, and mentally prepare for their afternoon classes. When students have to choose between finishing their meal and getting to class on time, we believe the schedule is failing to meet a basic student need.
