Historically, the EPA has made decisions about protecting our air based on the very real health benefits of reducing air pollution—like fewer asthma attacks and hospital visits. That practice has been essential to protecting children, frontline communities, and families across the country. Now, the EPA wants to focus solely on the costs to industry instead of the real human impacts. This is a dangerous shift that could weaken clean air protections and make it harder to establish and enforce rules that protect our communities. Trump’s EPA is putting industry profits ahead of public health, undermining the EPA’s very mission. The EPA must immediately reverse course and continue to fully account for health benefits when setting air pollution standards. Protecting people’s lives should always be the government’s priority in decisions that impact the air we breathe and the water we drink. Tell EPA leadership to follow science and put public health first!

After bombing Caracas, capturing then-Venezuelan President Maduro, and announcing intentions to “get the oil flowing,” it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump is preparing to “run” Venezuela’s internal affairs while extracting its resources under threat of future violence. It’s a plan as ill-conceived as it is dangerous — and it’s already becoming clear U.S. taxpayers are likely to be left holding the check. While Secretary of State Rubio initially claimed that their plan for Venezuela’s oil is “not going to cost us anything,” experts estimate that building up Venezuelan oil infrastructure could cost $115 BILLION. Now, Trump is suggesting that taxpayers’ dollars could be used to reimburse oil companies for the “tremendous amount of money” required to invest in Venezuela. While prices skyrocket at home, taxpayers must NOT be on the hook for oil companies in Trump’s lawless plan to pillage Venezuela’s oil. Fortunately, Rep. Mike Levin and Sen. Jeff Merkley just introduced legislation to prevent that from happening — and we need everyone in Congress to add their urgent support.

Trump’s violent occupation in the Twin Cities is an escalation of what Trump has been executing in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Portland. And it’s only getting worse.  Trump has been threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act—which would deploy the U.S. military and allow them to take civilian law enforcement actions like arresting, searching, or detaining citizens—since early on in his term. He is intentionally sowing chaos, disorder, and violence in order to manufacture a crisis and establish a military presence in our cities' streets and neighborhoods to intimidate us so he can continue with unchecked power.  Minnesota is the Trump administration’s testing ground to see how far he can abuse his power and authority against the American people. That is why we need every person—in Minnesota and across the country—to rise up in solidarity, resist, and drive out ICE and any other militarized force from our cities' streets.  The power is with the people. We need to demonstrate broad public opposition in order to pressure every elected official—on a local, state, and federal level—to use their power to end Trump’s militarized occupation.  We know what a future built by and for the people looks like. It’s what we’ve seen on the ground in communities facing the brunt of Trump’s terror. It’s people showing up for each other—making sure our kids get to school safely, our neighbors are fed and sheltered, and our rights and freedoms are protected.  And we’ve seen what Trump’s future looks like—people being dragged out of cars, snatched from schools and hospitals, and abused, injured, and even killed. Trump’s future is one of control, terror, and fear.  People in Minnesota and across the country are fighting for our collective future. And we have the responsibility to join them before Trump sends his troops to any other city, too. From neighbors and community leaders to elected officials, we must do everything in our power to fight back and STOP Trump’s militarized attacks from escalating.

Iranian protesters demanding their rights have been met with brutal violence by their government. Security forces have reportedly killed thousands of protesters, and a communications blackout makes it difficult to reach people inside the country. We condemn the ongoing violence and repression in Iran. It is uncertain where these historic protests will lead, but one thing must be made clear: The Iranian people should determine their future, not Trump and war hawks in Washington. There’s been no indication that Iranian protestors want a foreign intervention in their country. The troubling reality is that U.S. intervention in Iran is likely to feature violence that kills soldiers and civilians alike, further immiserates millions of people in Iran, and does nothing to help the brave protesters achieve their goals. It’s time for us to do what we do best by turning up the pressure to stop a war and telling Congress that people in Iran deserve solidarity, not bombing.

The Senate took a huge step toward blocking Trump’s war for oil in Venezuela. This is a big deal. This bipartisan rebuke of war is a major blow to Trump’s Venezuela plans, but we’re not done yet. In the coming days, there will be more fights and votes to get this bill across the finish line in the Senate. Our work is cut out for us, and our advocacy can’t let up for one second. Trump has already gone on the offensive, declaring that the five Republicans who voted against endless war “should never be elected to office again.” We need to make sure the pro-peace demands from constituents like you drown out Trump's attacks to hold the 52 senators who voted YES on Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution in line — and possibly peel off even more Republicans along the way. Anything less than that, and we could lose.

While development addresses a shortage of housing in our town, it is important this is done with careful consideration respecting the existing neighborhood. 

This petition is not about political party, ideology, or allegiance—it is about humanity. It is about protecting children, families, and communities from fear, trauma, and injustice. Remaining silent while families suffer is not pro-life; true pro-life action defends life in every sense, including safety, dignity, and due process. By signing, you stand for what is right, not for a party or a platform. Together, we demand leadership that prioritizes the vulnerable, upholds moral responsibility, and acts with courage—because silence harms real people, and action can protect them.

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom of three, in Minneapolis. It’s a disturbing, unnecessary tragedy, and our hearts go out to her family and loved ones. In response, the White House propaganda machine went on the offensive with falsehoods that directly contradict widely shared video footage of the murder, while Secretary of Homeland Security Noem attacked the victim and defended the shooting. They’re scrambling to tell you lies to distract you from the truth: They are building a world where federal agents can terrorize communities and murder a woman in broad daylight and face no consequences. If you’ve had enough of ICE’s lawless violence, it’s time to speak out: Defund ICE!

Guns are the number one cause of death for children and teens in our country. Every one of these deaths is preventable. States with stronger gun laws consistently have lower rates of gun deaths, because gun laws save lives.  Every person deserves the right to live free from gun violence. And, we know what works. Requiring background checks for all gun sales will prevent prohibited people from accessing deadly firearms. An extreme risk law would give every family the ability to ensure their loved ones cannot access guns during a serious crisis when they are at extreme risk of danger to themselves or others.   Finally, community violence intervention programs stop violence before it starts by using credible messengers to break the cycles of gun violence in our communities. We know what works. Now we need action.

Our government rang in 2026 by bombing Venezuela’s capital, capturing its president, and announcing that the United States will “run” the country for the indefinite future to "get the oil flowing." Reminder: There is NO congressional authorization for these strikes. This operation is illegal – just as the earlier boat strikes off the Latin American coast were illegal. And yet, Trump is already threatening to rinse and repeat this horrible playbook in Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba. Trump cannot rule the United States, nor any other country, like the king he imagines himself to be. Venezuelans must have a say in their own futures, and people in the United States must mobilize to push Congress to take immediate action to rein in this lawless White House. It’s up to us, the people, to make sure lawmakers feel enough heat from constituents to stop Trump from future escalation and violence. Add your name to demand Congress pass a war powers resolution NOW.

 Amazon is hurting pregnant and disabled workers who need accommodations! I started this petition demanding amazon stop forcing employees to choose between their health and their jobs when they request legally required accommodations. As a Amazonian and disabled worker myself, who was denied accommodations, I know the reality of amazons mistreatment first hand. Please sign and help thousands of workers fighting for basic dignity and rights. 

Trump keeps telling us that he’s going to stop endless wars and lower costs. Now, he’s spending taxpayer dollars to invade Venezuela, capture its President, Nicolás Maduro, and declare that the US will now run Venezuela.  We remember the consequences of the Iraq War. We saw through George Bush’s lies and knew that war would only make everyone less safe. We were right.  This moment is a test. Trump and his advisors will be looking to see Americans' reactions to this horror. Any silence will be seen as acceptance. If we don’t loudly push back against more endless war, then the administration will escalate this violence, not just in Venezuela, but across the globe.   Maduro is a dictator who oppressed his own people. Yet this operation has nothing to do with the Venezuelan people or Venezuelan freedom. Instead, as Trump himself said, they are an attempt to build power and profit for the Trump administration and oil industry that wants Venezuela's oil reserves. Trump needs to focus on the problems we have here at home, like making sure people can afford groceries or keep their healthcare, instead he’s spending millions, and potentially billions pursuing violence overseas. It must end. Together we say: NO U.S. OCCUPATION IN VENEZUELA.
