Dallas F. Nicholas Sr. Elementary School is more than a place of learning  it is the heart of our community. Families rely on this school because it provides consistent support, stability, and a safe environment where every child is seen and valued. Closing this school would: • Disrupt students’ academic and emotional progress • Break the relationships children have built with trusted teachers and staff • Place stress on families who depend on the school’s resources • Undermine a community that has worked together to help students grow This school is inclusive, welcoming students of all backgrounds and abilities. It is collaborative, bringing families, staff, and educators together. And above all, it is supportive, offering encouragement and care that many children cannot find elsewhere. Our children deserve stability. Our families deserve choice. Our community deserves a school that stays open.

The Trump administration is illegally shifting agencies within the Department of Education  that oversee billions in support for our public schools, especially our most vulnerable students, to other departments with zero education expertise. This is an unprecedented and blatantly illegal move that will harm students across America -  Skyrocketing class sizes, cutting supports for students with disabilities, gutting job-training opportunities, and making for post-secondary education less accessible. Tell your elected representatives to stop the administration illegal efforts to destroy the Department of Education!

This petition aims to bring islamophobic harrassment and attacks to the attention of the University of South Florida administration. They need to speak up about such harrassment, and make it clear that this kind of violence will not be tolerated on campus. They also need to make sure that students feel safe and secure on campus so that they are able to excel and succeed in their studies.

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Rand Paul (R-KY) recently forced a vote on a War Powers Resolution (WPR) that would’ve BLOCKED Trump’s path to war with Venezuela. Unfortunately, 51 senators shamefully voted to ALLOW Trump to keep marching us to the brink of another war. If you’re outraged, you’re not alone. But as Trump continues to bomb first and ask questions later, this won’t be the last opportunity for Congress to assert its authority and pull us off the path to war. This fight isn’t over. If we are going to flip the handful of votes we need to build a majority of senators willing to exert their constitutional war powers and stop Trump from starting a new endless war, accountability can go a long way. That’s why these 51 senators need to hear from constituents like you.

The request for an academic audit of the Pediatric Nursing course is grounded in our responsibility as nursing students to ensure that our education meets the standards necessary for safe and competent clinical practice. Nursing programs are designed to build the critical thinking, clinical judgment, and professional confidence required to care for vulnerable populations—especially pediatric clients. When course structure, assessment methods, and instructional practices do not align with these goals, it undermines both student learning and future patient safety. This audit is important because it seeks to verify that the course adheres to Broward College’s academic standards, including alignment between lectures, assigned readings, syllabus objectives, program outcomes, and exam content. Consistency in these areas is essential for students to meet learning expectations and accurately demonstrate their knowledge. When misalignment occurs, students may struggle not due to lack of effort or ability, but because the instructional framework does not support their success. Furthermore, fair and transparent grading practices are essential to academic integrity. Students must receive consistent evaluation and constructive feedback to identify areas for improvement. Limited access to learning resources or unclear expectations can create inequitable barriers that negatively impact performance and morale. These issues diminish the reliability of assessments and hinder the development of accurate clinical judgment. Requesting an academic audit is not an act of opposition; it is an act of professionalism. It reflects our commitment to ensuring that the course prepares us for safe practice, NCLEX success, and ethical responsibility to our future patients. This review also supports the college in maintaining its reputation for delivering high-quality nursing education and responding appropriately to student concerns. Ultimately, this audit is important because it promotes transparency, protects educational integrity, and ensures that all students receive the structured, fair, and supportive learning environment they deserve. Our goal is to strengthen the course, enhance learning outcomes, and uphold the standards expected of a rigorous nursing program. By advocating for this review, we are acting in the best interest of current students, future cohorts, and the profession of nursing as a whole.

“This campaign is about more than records. It is about who we choose to protect in this country — and who we leave behind. For decades, the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein were denied the most basic promises America makes to its children: safety, truth, and justice. These women were forced to watch their own trauma become political ammunition, media spectacle, or something to be ignored because too many powerful people were implicated. When a nation fails to protect its most vulnerable, it betrays its own oath. Releasing the remaining records, within the law, matters because: 1. Justice cannot be selective. If justice bends for wealth, power, and influence, then there is no justice at all. What happens in this case sends a message to every girl in America about what her life is worth. 2. Silence has protected predators for far too long. Many individuals connected to Epstein’s abuse are still free, unexamined, and able to continue harming others. Transparency is the first step toward stopping cycles of exploitation. 3. The survivors deserve the truth they were denied. They carried their trauma alone. They lived through a system that failed to protect them. They watched a man who hurt them move through the world with privilege. The least this nation can offer is honesty. 4. Our children are watching. Every day these records remain sealed teaches girls that their safety and truth are negotiable. That is a generational wound. And America cannot allow another generation to inherit that message. 5. Democracy depends on trust in accountability. A society that prioritizes protecting the powerful over the vulnerable erodes the foundation of democracy. Transparency is not optional — it is a patriotic duty. 6. Because America made a promise. Liberty and Justice for All is not a slogan. It is an oath.”

Trump’s reckless plans to restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing could shatter a three-decade-long moratorium. It’s already kick-started a new phase of a deadly nuclear arms race as Russian President Vladimir Putin responds with threats to restart their testing programs. Don’t forget: A successful nuclear test means building a weapon capable of global ‘annihilation.’ The good news is that without funding, Trump’s testing plans can’t happen — meaning Congress has the power to stop this before the countdown begins. That’s where we come in. If we overwhelm Congress with demands to oppose nuclear weapons testing, we can stop this terrifying plan before Trump drags us any closer toward nuclear catastrophe.

Starbucks claims a fair contract would hurt customers, but customers overwhelmingly say stores are short staffed and service has suffered. It’s clear that Starbucks is refusing accountability for its massive labor law violations and is willing to use customers and workers as scapegoats for their corporate greed.  Starbucks can easily afford to do right by its workers; a fair contract would cost them less than one day of sales. It’s time for Starbucks to return to the bargaining table and recognize the workers who make its success possible.  What’s happening right now with Starbucks, from mass labor law violations to a Trump-appointed judge stripping away damages owed to a Starbucks organizer, shows exactly how the corporate elite are protected by politicians while the rest of us are left to fight to meet our basic needs. Starbucks workers need your solidarity as they begin their nationwide strike.  Workers make Starbucks’ profits possible, period. Sign the petition now to demand Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol come to the bargaining table and stop union busting! 

Renewed calls for Schumer to step down as minority leader followed the disastrous decision by eight Democratic senators to vote to reopen the government—with no concessions on the issues that sparked the government shutdown in the first place. The grueling government shutdown was the longest in U.S. history, and the lines were clear: Democrats, empowered by our grassroots movement, stepped up to hold the line and protect Americans from skyrocketing health care costs. Republicans, on the other hand, were steadfast in blocking action to address rising health care costs and instead used the shutdown to inflict maximum pain on the American people. They stopped SNAP payments, furloughed federal employees, and nearly halted air travel by withholding pay from air traffic controllers and TSA agents. Poll after poll shows that Americans supported Democrats for driving a hard bargain to protect ACA subsidies, and a majority blamed Republicans and President Trump for the shutdown. But Schumer and Senate Democrats sold the American people out, leaving millions of families left without guarantees of affordable health care through the ACA and sending a message to Trump that his bullying, abuse, and cruelty will go unchecked.  This is not the leadership that the American people want or deserve. Schumer must step down from his position as minority leader and allow new leadership to step up in order to listen to and deliver for the people.

Home Depot locations have recently been the site of cruel ICE raids and roundups, targeting day laborers who are just trying to work. In August, Carlos Roberto Montoya, a native of Guatemala, was struck by a vehicle and killed while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot in California. His death was the direct result of Home Depot's allowing ICE to operate on its property. Home Depot has the power and responsibility to stop this now. As a private company, it can deny ICE access to its stores and parking lots unless agents have a warrant. And in an industry built by immigrant workers, Home Depot is in a unique position to take a stand for the people who make its business possible. We’re calling on Home Depot to: • Publicly condemn ICE raids targeting workers and day laborers • Deny ICE agents access to its stores and parking lots without a warrant • Protect all customers and workers from ICE actions Support these demands by adding your name to the petition now!
