Three workers died at Amazon facilities in New Jersey in 2022. Another in Colorado Springs that same year. Sadly, the list goes on. There's no excuse for this to happen at Amazon. Analysis based on a 2024 federal report from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), showed that Amazon's fulfillment centers report injuries more than two times as much as the warehouse industry average. Amazon workers accounted for 39% of all warehouse workers in the United States but Amazon reported 56% of all serious injuries in the industry.   A Senate report at the end of 2024 revealed that these issues could be even worse than that. The report said, Amazon “manipulates its workplace injury data to portray its warehouses as safer than they actually are.” The PDX9 warehouse in Oregon where the worker died in early April has a reputation for harsh conditions. 26% of employees at the fulfillment center suffered from injuries, according to investigative reports. Amazon has no excuse for the rate of injuries, the unsafe working conditions, and outright neglect.  Sign this petition urging Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to take immediate action to improve safety standards in Amazon warehouses and improve working conditions for all Amazon workers.

Every day, creators build the content that powers platforms like TikTok—yet most earn only pennies per thousand views while the platform makes billions from their work.    This isn’t just about social media. It’s about a system where the people creating the value are the ones paid the least, with no stability or protections.    If creators stop, the entire platform stops. It’s time for fair pay, transparency, and real protections in the digital economy. 

Now Starbucks is planning to open a new location at 4525 Fermi Place, as if nothing ever happened. But here’s the thing; Starbucks representatives LIED in the public hearing where the permit for the location was approved. At the meeting, on May 28, of the Davis City Council’s Planning Commission, company representatives stated unequivocally that “Starbucks does not intend to close any stores” in Davis. Starbucks thinks that it can get away with lying in public hearings and busting unions, but we can hold them accountable.  We demand that the Davis City Council reconsider the aforementioned permits, and hold an additional public hearing on the matter. Davis City Council should consider a moratorium on all future Starbucks locations until the company reaches a collective bargaining agreement with SBWU. At the minimum, Starbucks should offer to rehire all laid off workers in Davis affected by this round of layoffs, at a pay rate that includes any raises that they would have missed. Davis has a chance to take a stand against corporate abuse, stand up for workers, and preserve the community that makes Davis a special place to live, study, and work.

The ballroom is just another in a long line of Trump’s attempts to continue his authoritarian power grabs in D.C., like his plans to build the so-called "Arc de Trump" along the Potomac River. And his proposal to pay for them with private donations from his supporters raises serious ethical concerns.  While gas prices are soaring and working families are struggling to pay for medical costs, groceries, and rent, Trump and his cronies are focused on king-making.  We don’t need a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House—we need Congress focused on improving the lives of working families. Add your name now!

Many CSRS retirees leave Virginia because other states do not discriminate against CSRS employees. Why does Virginia discriminate against us?  Please consider changing this tax code, allowing CSRS retirees to enjoy the same benefits that every other retiree in Virginia is afforded.

Gen AI destroys the environment and takes away from artists.

Coral reefs are dying and bleaching due to HUMAN caused climate change. As of now 84% of coral reefs have bleached and by 2050 no coral reefs will be around at the rate we are going. It is important to urge law makers, trump and the rest of our government to save these coral reefs because coral reefs contribute to the life of 25% of ALL marine life (fish, mammals, birds, etc).

I will solicit signatures from every person who pays this company

The East Hampton train station is more than just a transit hub—it’s a public space that serves our entire community. Building a bar here would: 1. Privatize a public space – The station should serve commuters and residents, not commercial interests. 2. Impact vulnerable workers and commuters – Overpriced food and alcohol could make the station less welcoming and accessible. 3. Increase crowding and safety risks – A bar could lead to congestion, noise, and public safety concerns. 4. Set a precedent for commercialization – Allowing one business could open the door for more commercial ventures in public spaces, changing the character of East Hampton. Protecting the station ensures it remains a safe, functional, and inclusive space for everyone who relies on it.

The richest companies and people in America are pushing AI because a lot of their money is on the line. They’re telling the public that algorithms, chatbots, and automation will replace workers at historic levels in the next few years. THIS IS A THREAT TO WORKING PEOPLE. The unemployment rate for college grads is 5.6%, the highest level in more than a decade outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers are being told in the thousands that they’re being replaced by AI.  Companies implementing AI are inundating people with “workslop.” A recent report in the Harvard Business Review catalogues how subpar work output from AI (“workslop”) is actually destroying productivity. Companies need to stop lying to their workers about AI. Corporate executives need to stop making jobs harder for people because of AI, and making baseless claims about AI.  Sign the petition: Stop using AI as a pretext for cutting jobs and laying people off! Human workers cannot be replaced by AI.

The U.S. faces an unprecedented national debt, now exceeding $107 trillion, yet billions are spent punishing parents rather than supporting children. The current child support enforcement system drains resources, incarcerates parents, and worsens poverty—all while failing to prioritize children’s actual needs. Congress must act to reform this system. Key Findings: • National Debt & Fiscal Waste: From 1998–2025, federal child support enforcement contributed to mismanaged funds, with $32.5 billion spent on administrative costs—often exceeding the net support actually delivered to children. This waste worsens an already unsustainable national debt. • Child Support Arrears: Over the same period, cumulative unpaid child support totaled ~$450 billion. Tens of thousands of parents are jailed annually for nonpayment, preventing them from earning income to support their children. • Inequity & Constitutional Concerns: Felony prosecutions, punitive interest, and incarceration without consideration of ability to pay violate due process and equal protection. Current enforcement often penalizes poverty rather than ensuring child welfare. This Act Will: 1. Repeal federal felony child support provisions (18 U.S.C. § 228). 2. Require ability-to-pay hearings before penalties, license suspensions, or incarceration. 3. Automatically adjust arrears for income loss, verified unemployment, disability, or incarceration. 4. Ensure gender-neutral, equal enforcement and reciprocal enforcement of financial and custodial orders. 5. Prioritize support over punishment through job assistance, mediation, and debt reconciliation. 6. Prohibit punitive interest or penalties unrelated to actual child expenses. 7. Prevent children from being treated as government revenue or collateral for debt. 8. Increase transparency and accountability for administrative costs, reimbursements, and enforcement outcomes. Why This Matters: Current policies trap families in cycles of debt and incarceration, divert billions from direct child support, and contribute to a spiraling national debt. Reform will ensure fiscal responsibility, protect children’s needs, uphold constitutional rights, and break the cycle of poverty that unfair enforcement perpetuates. Call to Action: Sign to demand child support reform that is fair, transparent, fiscally responsible, and focused on children, not punishment.
