In the dead of night, armed federal agents in military fatigues raided a Chicago apartment building, breaking down doors and pulling hundreds of people — many of them children — from their homes, where agents detained them, zip-tied, for hours. Across the city, agents have been indiscriminately teargassing crowds of people, despite court orders. This is the horrifying reality of Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). These military-style raids aren’t making our communities safer. Families are afraid to go outside, with increased reports of people keeping their kids out of school, skipping medical appointments, and staying home from work. Some members of Congress are already calling for an end to ICE’s reign of terror and introducing legislation to protect immigrants. But we need to build and strengthen a majority of lawmakers willing to take action in response to the horrors we’re witnessing to end these raids and keep people safe. The most effective way to do that? A massive wave of public pressure from constituents like you.  

This petition is important in order to get the school to start taking action by   1.  Hosting assemblies or informational sessions to educate students and families on their rights and what to do in case of an emergency. 2.  Creating safe spaces on campus for students who feel anxious, unsafe, or need support. 3.  Providing online learning options (Zoom or Google Meet) for students whose families are afraid to send them to school. 4.  Issuing a public statement of solidarity affirming that Reavis is a safe and welcoming place for all students and families, regardless of immigration status.

Every generation faces a moment when silence is betrayal — this is ours. No Kings is a declaration that the people are the power. Can you take 1 (one) minute to sign on to our message to Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson: 👑 Our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. We deserve safety, dignity, and to be heard. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.  When we rise together, no king, no tyrant, and no dictator can silence us.

In 1890, U.S. troops descended on the Lakota people at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. What followed was not a “battle” — it was a massacre. An estimated 250 people were slaughtered. More than half were women and children. Many were killed as they fled, gunned down long after officers had ordered soldiers to stop shooting. Shamefully, 19 soldiers involved in this atrocity were awarded the nation’s highest honor for valor, the Medal of Honor. Congress and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin worked together to review whether to rescind those medals, in light of the soldiers’ horrific actions. Now, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just doubled down on honoring the perpetrators of the massacre. “We’re making it clear [the soldiers] deserve those medals. This decision is now final, and their place in our nation’s history is no longer up for debate.” Unfortunately for Hegseth, that’s not entirely up to him. Congress has the power to act where the Pentagon refuses — by legislating the rescission of medals awarded to soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee massacre. We’re going to push them to do just that by passing the Remove the Stain Act introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren (S.1915) and Representative Jill Tokuda (H.R.3609). With enough people speaking out, we can push Congress to take this decision out of Hegseth’s hands and finally deliver justice.

The current building 1930 Beach Street is restricted to be inspected for Inhumane practices by Illinois Congressional Leaders. Chicago Sun-Times reports, “U.S. Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, both Illinois Democrats, on Friday requested a tour of the Broadview ICE facility that has drawn heated protest for weeks, but they were denied entry,(2025, Armentrout). If ICE occupies the current 5000 square foot building and has DENIED entry for routine inspections, how much more would a 200,000 square ft building occupied by ICE would be even worst to inspect. Armentrout, M., (2025, October, 10).  Illinois Democrats call for investigation of Chicago ICE raids. https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/10/10/ice-investigation-chicago-illinois-congressional-democrats-robin-kelly

The White House’s militarization of Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, and threats to deploy troops to other cities, are terrifying workers. The very people that help D.C. function — day care workers, construction workers, restaurant workers, home and health care workers, and so many others — are too afraid of the military checkpoints and masked ICE agent dragnets to make it to their jobs. During the weeks of military occupation in D.C., day care centers have had to partially or completely close because of a worker shortage — and at least one center suspended daytime walks because of worries that the children they look after might encounter armed troops on the streets. Traffic stops in D.C. of construction vehicles are leading to unexplained worker arrests and companies unsure what to do next. People in need of care in their homes — family elders and disabled folks — aren’t able to get the help they need because health care workers fear random military stops if they leave their homes. The massive ICE raid of a Hyundai and LG factory under construction in Georgia is another arm of this federal terror. DHS arrested hundreds of workers, imprisoning many mostly South Korean workers for a week and putting the future of the factory and the 8,500 jobs it could have created in jeopardy. If America’s largest corporations and their powerful CEOs don’t use their influence to protect workers, cities across the country may fall under military occupation and the utter state of fear felt by so many in D.C. Racial profiling in D.C. has surged during the troop deployment, as immigrant workers face outsized threats of arrest, imprisonment, and deportations. 40% of the arrests in D.C. have been immigration related. The fear imposed by the federal government has hurt the D.C. economy, threatened labor across the metro D.C. area, and halted important daily operations. The ICE raid in Georgia harmed workers at the Hyundai-LG site AND threatened future jobs. Is that what powerful CEOs and America’s largest corporations want to see replicated in city after city?   America’s Fortune 500 companies and all U.S. employers must use their power now to end the militarization of America. Sign the petition: Protect the safety and well-being of workers, and free all workers from domestic military occupation!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hauled hundreds of top generals to Quantico for what one Pentagon official called a “total waste of money.” Trump used the gathering to claim he’s fighting an “invasion from within” and affirm his intentions to use “cities as training grounds for our military.” With Hegseth heading the Pentagon, Trump’s got a dangerously powerful lackey to do his bidding.   We knew Pete Hegesth was unfit to serve during his nomination process, and every day since he’s only proved us right. Impeachment is how Congress can check an out-of-control official who is abusing his power, threatening our democracy, and harming communities here and abroad. We can’t stay silent. 

Upwards of 100,000 people attend the Super Bowl, and the event is supposed to be a celebration of football and its fans, powered by thousands of workers who make it possible. The Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco should not be marked by Trump’s mass chaos, trauma, and detention.  Bad Bunny and his team already made the difficult decision to not tour his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos in the United States out of fear of ICE raids, and how they might use him and his concerts to kidnap and target his fans. But of course, the Trump administration is cruel, and doubled down by saying they’d have ICE at the Super Bowl. People on the ground in communities most impacted by Trump’s authoritarian militarized takeover are uniting to fight back, and doing everything they can to protect their neighbors and loved ones. Local elected officials like Alderwoman Jessie Fuentes are putting their bodies on the line to defend their constituents. Bad Bunny is an artist who has been very outspoken about injustice and has used his music and platform to advocate for our communities. He has also been vocally against Trump and his immigration policies, and in 2024, he spoke out against a speaker at Trump’s rally when he disgustingly called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” He has been a fierce advocate for Puerto Rican rights and independence because Puerto Rico is a colony of the U.S. and the people of Puerto Rico have constantly been failed, especially by Trump, his administration, and its harmful policies. Eight years ago, Puerto Ricans were devastated by Hurricanes Maria and Irma, and families were displaced and abandoned, the entire island was left without power for 11 months (the longest blackout in US history), many were left without water, and thousands died from neglect from those in power. The people of Puerto Rico deserve better. Together, we can continue fighting for all of our communities and keeping each other safe, one step at a time. The NFL must take this step too, to stop ICE from targeting people at their Super Bowl. Will you add your name to the petition?

This case is being pushed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), whose record of anti-LGBTQ+ activism includes supporting the criminalization of consensual LGBTQ+ relationships, defending state-sanctioned sterilization of transgender people abroad, fighting to ban books about LGBTQ+ people, blocking life-saving care for transgender people, and spreading hurtful falsehoods about LGBTQ+ communities. ADF’s extremist agenda would erase LGBTQ+ people from public life and gut vital protections for children and families. Conversion therapy is NOT medical care—it is abuse masquerading as treatment. Survivors routinely report lasting psychological damage, while scientific reviews and countless testimonies show that these “therapies” do not change anyone’s identity but do cause immense suffering.  No free speech claim or “voluntary practice” justifies allowing therapists to inflict grave harm on vulnerable kids. Colorado’s law, like those in other states, simply prohibits licensed professionals from using their role to push predetermined outcomes of denying a young person’s authentic self. It does not ban supportive counseling; it protects youth from dangerous, distressing, and disproven tactics. State power to regulate licensed healthcare exists to keep patients safe—not empower ideological crusades. 

Please sign and share this petition to show Vietnam—and the world—that the persecution of human rights defenders must end. Together, we can amplify Phương’s voice from behind prison walls.
