Other people should join me in this campaign because Bryon Keith Blueitt’s story is not just his own — it’s a reflection of a broken justice system that too often punishes people for a lifetime without acknowledging growth, change, or context. Keith has served over 30 years in prison for a tragic act rooted in fear and self-defense. He was 30 years old when he entered prison. He is now 61 — a reformed, spiritual, and peaceful man who has spent decades taking accountability and bettering himself. If we believe in rehabilitation, redemption, and second chances, then this is exactly the kind of case that deserves support. By standing up for Keith, we’re standing up for fairness, for human dignity, and for others like him who have been forgotten behind bars despite doing the work to change. Your voice could help restore a life that still has purpose and potential. Even a simple share, signature, or conversation can help bring attention to his case. Together, we can remind the system that people can grow — and they do deserve to be seen as more than their worst moment.

The Trump administration and its MAGA supporters have been attacking trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming Americans—with a focus on youth and their parents. Health care is proven to be lifesaving for many trans youth. But the Trump administration is trying to punish parents and medical professionals seeking to provide fundamental health care. Most recently, Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, has subpoenaed hospitals and medical providers for information about care they provide to trans youth, including sensitive and individual medical records. Not only is this a blatant attack on health privacy (HIPAA), it is also meant to threaten these providers into ceasing this essential care. And it’s a step toward targeting and punishing the youth and their families. Enough is enough. While Congress should put a stop to this and state attorneys general need to step in, it’s also critical for hospital administrators, doctors, and other medical providers to rely on the oaths they have taken to protect the patients in their care and “do no harm.”  If hospitals and medical providers refuse to proactively cooperate with unethical asks by challenging subpoenas and letting the legal process play out, they will send a strong message that refusing to be terrorized into compliance by this administration is something we all must do. When we speak out to demand institutions refuse to give in to these outrageous demands from the Trump administration, we can keep our communities safe. That’s why it’s so important to take action right now. Patients and their families must be able to trust their doctors and medical providers who are providing essential, lifesaving care for their children. Don’t betray them for the ugly, hateful, political agenda of Trump and his allies.

Despite a wide majority of Americans—including all parts of the political spectrum—wanting the full truth about the Jeffrey Epstein case, the Department of Justice is refusing to release their files to the public. This refusal is undermining the investigation, fuels conspiracy theories, and sure smells like a cover-up in the service of rich and powerful men who participated in Epstein’s criminal activities. The majority of Americans are unhappy with the limited amount of information the government has released related to its investigation into Epstein. President Trump campaigned on the issue, claiming that he would have “no problem” looking into a rumored Epstein client list. And Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release the files.  Now is the time to make good on this promise.  The public deserves to know the extent of Epstein’s abuse and to hold accountable anybody—regardless of political affiliation—who enabled it. We are owed answers. Otherwise, given that his clients were predominantly wealthy, powerful individuals, it seems like one more example of a rigged system: one set of rules for the elite, and a different set for everyone else. Add your name to the petition to demand the Department of Justice and White House publicly release the files. 

Kristi Noem was an unqualified pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security. In her first months on the job, she posed for photos in front of wrongfully imprisoned people, made light of human suffering, and partnered with the Trump White House efforts to dismantle critical programs that keep our country and its residents safe—all while gleefully and cruelly doubling down on the terror tactics of detaining, disappearing, and deporting people off our streets. Over the past weeks, we have seen how she’s not just unfit but that her decisions have hobbled critical relief efforts. Her political attacks on FEMA and new policies requiring her personal sign-off on expenditures delayed the agency’s ability to respond to the deadly Texas floods. FEMA help hotlines—which have provided critical, high-level service in previous disasters—were dysfunctional for Texas residents thanks to Noem’s policies, with nearly two-thirds of calls going unanswered when people needed urgent help the most. The tragedy in Texas is heartbreaking. No words can bring back the lives lost or repair the shattered families. But when such incompetence contributes to and compounds that suffering, it’s imperative those in power are held responsible. It’s scary that Kristi Noem doesn’t understand basic constitutional rights, yet she’s still making policy decisions, setting budgets, and is incompetently leading a life-saving agency like FEMA. Kristi Noem must go—sign the petition.

Colorado Springs must take urgent steps to respond to the rise in masked law enforcement, ICE overreach, and the targeting of immigrants and political dissenters, including students and lawful residents. In a February 5th raid of four apartments in Denver and Aurora, ICE destroyed a tenant’s door, ripping the locks off the door handle, entered without a warrant, shot rubber bullets at tenants in their pursuit — terrorizing the entire neighborhood.  ICE is striking fear in the community to justify mass arrests and using local police and the DEA to give cover to a federal deportation agenda. On March 17th, Jeanette Vizguerra—recognized by Time Magazine in 2017 as one of the world's 100 most influential people and known for having no criminal record—was working at a Target store in Denver. As she stepped outside for her first break, she was detained. Vizguerra's vocal advocacy for immigrant rights made her a target, and her experience underscores how those who speak out for justice can face intimidation and efforts to silence them. On June 27th, 32-year-old U.S. citizen, Andrea Velez, was confronted and forcibly taken by armed, masked individuals in Los Angeles. Her family, fearing a kidnapping, contacted the police—only to discover that the men involved were federal immigration agents. These secretive detentions erode public trust and silence dissent.  Every person—citizen or not—deserves to know who is detaining them, and why. The rise of secret policing and disappearances is not just a federal issue; it’s a local emergency. Our city should be a place of safety, not surveillance and fear. 

This isn’t radical. It’s the bare minimum. We can’t keep piecemealing child safety and pretending “parental rights” always mean protection. The U.S. claims to champion human rights abroad—yet here at home, we allow religion and ideology to silence abuse victims. “The United States is the only country in the UN that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child—and likely never will, due to entrenched opposition around national sovereignty and so-called “parental rights.”” Far-right groups like Moms for Liberty are pushing for total parental control over education while ignoring the fact that children are being abused under their watch. Expanding “parental rights” without guardrails is not protection—it’s complicity. Think of Jonestown. Waco. Ruby Franke. The Turpins. The Duggars. Warren Jeffs. I was one of those kids. We must confront a hard truth: “Freedom of religion” has too often meant freedom to harm—and freedom from accountability. Court decisions like Wisconsin v. Yoder have left generations of children vulnerable by placing religious and parental rights above basic safety. While religious freedom is vital, it must have common-sense boundaries—especially when it comes to protecting children. It’s time to face this issue head-on and establish clear legal limits that put child safety first. Child safety must come first. Always. Kids deserve to know how to protect themselves. We can’t fight abuse if we keep it hidden. Sign now to demand Congress pass the Every Child Safe Act.  Share this petition. Use #EveryChildSafeAct to break the silence and protect kids nationwide. We have the power to create a country where every child is protected, educated, and free from abuse. Let’s make that real. "Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime." - Herbert Ward

Because your voice matters, and so does every vote. This petition calls on Senator Padilla to keep fighting for critical legislation that protects our most fundamental right in a democracy: the right to vote. Across the country, politicians are making it harder for people — especially Black, Latino, Native, Asian American, and young voters — to cast a ballot. Extreme gerrymandering, voter roll purges, and needless barriers threaten to silence millions. Even when Congress is gridlocked, persistent public pressure makes a difference. Signing this petition helps show that Californians expect their elected officials to champion democracy consistently and boldly, not just when it’s politically convenient. Add your name to demand action and leadership. Democracy requires all of us.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has spent the last few months terrorizing communities across the country. Masked agents have kidnapped people in the streets, ICE has arrested government officials in New York and New Jersey, and even previously sensitive areas like schools and churches are no longer off limits to ICE raids. ICE’s next target? Sporting events. In June, ICE agents requested access to the parking lots at Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. But the team denied ICE entry. The harsh reality is this isn’t just happening in Los Angeles under Trump’s mass deportation agenda. That’s why it's imperative that the 28 other MLB teams in the U.S. follow suit and publicly REJECT ICE from using their stadiums to abduct and detain immigrants. The only way that’ll happen is through a massive, sustained campaign of pressure coming from fans and activists like you, which is why we’re launching a petition to MLB team owners. Now, all you need to do is sign:

Measles, once declared eliminated in the U.S., is making a devastating comeback with a vengeance. In fact, the United States is experiencing one of the worst measles outbreaks in over three decades—with more than 1,200 cases already reported across the country this year. Yet Congress continues to underfund two of the most essential vaccination programs in the country: Vaccines for Children (VFC) and Section 317 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). These programs provide free vaccines for children whose families can’t afford them, fund immunization infrastructure across states, and help keep preventable diseases like measles, from spreading unchecked. The only way to stop this outbreak is to invest in vaccinations NOW! Sign the petition now! 

Today, the Southside Gym is no longer run by individuals who know, understand, or prioritize the needs of our community. Decisions are being made without our input, and opportunities for our youth and families are disappearing. We are asking for your support to help us reclaim the Southside Gym and restore it as a community-run space — where programs can be rebuilt, kids can feel safe and engaged, and families can receive the support they deserve. Sign this petition to show that Southside belongs to its people. Let’s bring it back to life - together 

This fight is bigger than a checkbox — it’s about correcting centuries of lies, theft, and legal erasure. For too long, the descendants of enslaved American Indians, Indigenous Europeans, Pacific Islanders, Asians, and Free People of Color have been lumped into a false racial category: “Black.” Their original nations, names, and legal rights were stripped away through paper genocide, Jim Crow laws, and colonial policies that erased entire peoples with the stroke of a pen. Now, even our history, culture, and identity are being claimed by others — particularly recent African immigrants and pan-African ideologues — who attempt to speak for us, replace us in our own narrative, and rewrite our legacy. By supporting the push to recognize “Reclassified Original American” as a distinct classification, you are: ✅ Standing up for the truth of history ✅ Supporting people fighting to restore stolen identities ✅ Aiding the movement for reparative justice and data accuracy ✅ Helping families reclaim their tribal, national, and genealogical records ✅ Pushing back against the system — and movements — that reclassify, rename, and erase our lineage ✅ Defending the culture, sovereignty, and heritage of reclassified Americans from being replaced or misrepresented This is a fight for every person who believes that identity should be honored, not overwritten or exploited. Join the campaign to restore what was taken. Join the campaign to make our people count — by name, by blood, and by right. This isn’t just about the past — It’s about protecting the future from being stolen again.

We need our New Jersey state legislature to protect our state from the threats from the federal government on our most vulnerable residents and our democracy. Last week's budget cuts threaten food and housing security. Due to the astronomical increase in ICE funding, we anticipate that actions taken by DHS will increase to the level seen in California, including tanks and military being deployed to MacArthur Park. We have elected our legislators to fight for New Jersey and we need them to be able to react urgently to the unprecedented attacks on our state coming from D.C.
