STEWARDSHIP:  If you can recognize the extraordinary value of protecting the sanctuary of an eagle and preserving habitat for species that depend upon it, then what greater responsibility exists than extending that same ethic of stewardship to the protection of our Great Lakes bluffs. Stretching across thousands of miles of shoreline, these bluffs are more than scenic landscapes — they are living infrastructure. They stabilize shorelines, support ecological balance, influence nearshore water quality, provide refuge for wildlife and migratory birds, and contribute resilience in an era of increasing climate uncertainty. We call upon Great Lakes organizations, environmental leaders, legislators, and members of Congress to advance stronger review standards and meaningful protections for bluff alteration and habitat disturbance throughout the Great Lakes region.

Todd Blanche is not only a Donald Trump loyalist, but he was also his personal lawyer. Blanche has spent years defending Trump—he represented him in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, when Trump was accused of hoarding classified documents, and in his role in election interference.  Not only is this a gross conflict of interest, but it also shows that Blanche will lead the DOJ with one mission: Protect Trump and give the president endless power.

Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved Question 1 by 72% to allow independent audits of the Legislature. This bill weakens that mandate. Tell Governor Healey to veto it and protect the will of the voters.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, ICE agents will be “out there every day” for the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off June 11. While the rogue agency actively carries out unlawful arrests, racially profiles people, and inflicts violence upon our communities, the presence of ICE agents at games and fan festivals puts everyone — fans, players, players’ families, stadium employees, team staff — at unnecessary risk. Communities are already fighting back. Stadium workers in Los Angeles are threatening to strike over ICE’s presence. Activists in Philadelphia are organizing to stop it. Congress is taking notice, too. Rep. Nellie Pou introduced the Save the World Cup Act, which would bar federal law enforcement from conducting immigration enforcement raids at or near soccer matches and fan festivals — it’s legislation we need to rally behind today. When we push members of Congress to support legislation, speak out, and take action, it helps fuel support for the local organizing already happening in cities across the country. Will you send a message that ICE has NO place turning sporting events meant to bring us together into places full of division, fear, and violence?

Delaney Hall represents a dangerous expansion of the immigrant detention system, one driven by profit, and unconcerned with public safety. In 2025, ICE handed a $1 billion contract to GEO Group to run Delaney Hall which essentially quadrupled detention capacity in New Jersey overnight.  Now, hundreds of people inside are risking their health to expose what’s happening behind the doors of Delaney Hall. More than 200 detainees remain on hunger and labor strike, protesting unsafe conditions: lack of medical care, spoiled food, and extreme heat without air conditioning. These are not isolated complaints, they are systemic failures in facilities that were never meant to be kind to the people within them.  Warehouses like Delaney Hall exist because of a system that outsources detention to private prison corporations with little transparency or accountability. GEO Group, the corporation in charge of Delaney Hall and other detention facilities across the country, profits when more people are detained for longer periods of time. This system creates incentives and rewards for holding people, often without cause, while cutting corners on their healthcare and safety.  If people inside speak out about their conditions inside, the response is retaliation. News reports include pepper spray and physical force against detainees, forced transfers, and blocked access for families. Even local elected officials and members of Congress are being denied oversight. Sign the petition if you agree: Delaney Hall must be shut down NOW!

As the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) prepares to mark up the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), we’ve got a critical first opportunity to block Trump’s record-breaking Pentagon budget: The good news? Lawmakers already know Trump’s $1.5 trillion Pentagon topline is a nonstarter — and key HASC members are already racing to stop it. That includes Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), who has introduced an amendment that would CUT the Pentagon topline before the NDAA even reaches the House floor. This amendment is our first opportunity to derail Trump’s $1.5 trillion war budget, so we’re going all out to rally support amongst HASC members to get it passed. They need to hear from you too.

The proposed changes to the Clean Air Act would apply to all industrial facilities, including data centers, the power plants that would serve them, chemical plants, and carbon, capture, and storage (CCS) facilites. While the proposed changes are considered a win for all industries, we mention CCS specifically because owners of those projects can qualify for 45Q tax credits if they begin construction by a deadline set by the IRS. Being able to begin construction before the permitting process guarantees that they would be able to meet the deadline. We are submitting this petition to the EPA's docket and sending it to the Trump administration. We ask that you take a couple of extra minutes to submit a comment to the docket using our EZ form.

The Congressional Black Caucus has come out demanding that corporations that signed the Business for Voting Rights letter to Congress back in 2021 take a stand now. In a letter to corporations the CBC highlighted a critical point: “The same corporations that have benefitted from Black consumers, Black talent, and Black communities cannot now retreat into silence while Black political power is openly dismantled in plain sight.” Despite its supposed commitment to voting rights, Starbucks is staying quiet and moving forward with plans for a new corporate headquarters in Tennessee—a state where the governor wasted no time signing into law a new congressional map that will split up the state’s only Black-majority district. The map strips Black voters of their ability to influence elections and choose their leader. We need to hold Starbucks accountable and demand that the company use its corporate influence to condemn the Tennessee legislature's move to dilute Black voices at the ballot box.  We must not allow corporations to fall back on the importance of protecting voting rights. When the voting power of a community is purposely targeted, that is not a democracy. That is not what John Lewis and so many other civil rights organizers and activists bled and died for.  When corporations stand up and demand change from lawmakers, change happens. It’s time for Starbucks to live up to its promise five years ago and condemn these attacks on our democracy now—in words and in action. 

Dear Neighbors, We need your help to protect our neighborhood from a proposed commercial rezoning project near 2330 McFarland Road in Raymond, MS. We are working to safeguard our community from developments that could increase costs, impact safety, and decrease our property values. The Ecowomanist Institute Southeast Corp (EWISE) formally submitted this request in conjunction with a permit filed on May 27, 2026. While their specific intentions for the project remain unclear, the proposal involves 196 acres of land on McFarland Road within our private residential area. This project will disrupt our community by causing unnecessary traffic, decrease in property values, potential crime, diminished infrastructure requiring future maintenance and higher taxes. Please take a moment to sign the petition to prevent this Special Use Permit. We must act now to preserve our neighborhood; please sign the petition and forward this email to others in the area. Thank you for your support. Best Regard

Our health and well-being is at risk. We pay so much for the water here and it isn't even safe to shower in or consume without proper filtration!! Unacceptable - we must band together to demand a change.

Facial recognition technology involves many practical and ethical issues. Over and over again, it has misidentified women and ethnic minorities, sometimes as much as 34% more often than it did lighter-skinned men.  Law enforcement uses facial recognition technology to surveil everyone from peaceful protesters to immigrants. The pictures taken are then scanned against millions of photos in federal and state databases that include driver's license pictures.  This technology is not harmless, and Disney using it to take pictures of adults as well as children is cause for concern.  We’ve seen how businesses and corporations have misused facial recognition technology to violate individual rights. Families should be able to go to a theme park without having their privacy compromised. Add your name to the petition! 

A sitting president buying and trading stocks that they have direct insider information about and influence over is a clear ethical violation and conflict of interest.  White House spokespeople insist that Trump has no input into these trades and that his portfolio is entirely managed by third-party advisers. But the evidence speaks for itself.  Trump bought millions in Nvidia stock only one week before approving it to start selling its advanced computer chips to China, which sent its stocks soaring. He bought millions in Palantir stock right around the time the company signed a billion-dollar deal with the Department of Homeland Security. He bought stock in Thermo Fisher Scientific the exact same day he toured its facilities.  The sheer consistency of this pattern makes it nearly impossible to accept that Trump has no influence over these trades. But insider trading isn’t the only problem. Trump has repeatedly taken to social media and public speeches to talk up companies he holds stock in, directly inflating the value of his investments using the platform of the presidency.  Meanwhile, everyday Americans are living through the worst cost-of-living crisis in recent history. Groceries, housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities have all become crushing costs for millions of families. While working people are struggling to get by, the president is running a personal enrichment operation out of the Oval Office.  The office of the president is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Sign the petition to stop Trump’s shameless corruption and demand a stock trading ban for all high-level public officials!
